How Can/Will The Browns Blow It? Or Not?
-
I think the Browns will blow it by spending a first-round pick on someone who wouldn't be a first-round in a year with great talent at that position.
Chubb is a second-round pick in next year's DE draft.. the DE's next year put Chubb to shame.
Houston's Ed Oliver, Alabama's Raekwon Davis, Michigan's Rashan Gary, OSU's Bosa, and Clemson's entire defensive line are all on the board for 2019.

Pete and Re-Pete were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left. (yes, you are repeating yourself). Again, I would like to see something that supports your theory.
But, FYI.....many have said that your first sentence up there would apply to ALL of the QBs in this draft. That none of them should actually be considered before the second round....but they are only because they are QBs.

Everything is an unknown, First overall picks are a crap shoot as we know. Any of these QB's/RB's could be the next David Carr/J.Russell/K.Carter/T.Rich. So as to blowing the picks, good luck.Might have better luck on the Roulette tables. Pick BPA, and pray to the evil football gods that we finally get it right! Because they sure haven't been to kind these past 19 years. Yeah, and ownership sure hasn't put the pieces in place the past years to evaluate the talent. Hopefully this years a KISS draft, and we finally have started the process of building a competent front office that allows us to become contenders once again.

2018 NFL mock draft: The Browns are going to blow it, aren’t they?
More signs continue to point toward the Wyoming quarterback being the choice for the Cleveland Browns.By Dan Kadar Apr 16, 2018, 7:34am EDT"When you have a shared vision it is a lot easier to make unpopular decisions." - Paul DePodesta "When you win, say nothing.

From the article:
"1. Cleveland Browns: Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
This would not be a smart pick. This would be a very Browns pick. However, as the draft approaches, there are more and more people connecting Allen to the Browns.
There’s been the friend of Browns General Manager John Dorsey saying it. Radio host Dan Patrick has said the Browns like Allen. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, the former scout with deep connections in the league, said “people that know people inside the Browns” think it’s Allen.
At this point, it would be a surprise if this is all just an elaborate smoke screen."
Dear God in heaven fire Dorsey now before he does this to us!

Blow it?
Barkley at 1. He then gets hurt because he's a HB
Rosen at 4. Who doesn't want to be here and never becomes a team leader.
Perfect?
Probably Darnold at 1.
Then trade back from 4 in a way that lands you Ward and Hurst.

As long as they don't draft any secret Jews, right?
(This seems out of the blue, but trust me, it's funny. Just check the political board. Actually, don't. You'll be better off.)

Josh Allen may be Jewish. Many Jewish people have the name Allen:
Woody Allen
Mel Allen Yankees Broadcaster
George Allen....football coach
George Allen...his son....US Senator
Steve Allen...comedian
Gracie Allen....as in Burns and Allen
Marty Allen...comedian
Phog Allen...basketball coach
Irwin Allen....director: The Master of Disaster
Or, uhh, err...did you already cover this over there?

Why trade Kizer just to draft another inaccurate QB who needs tons of coaching? save the project QBs for later rounds and get Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield with the #1 pick. Anyone other than one of those 3 at #1 and everyone will be talking about how the Browns browned up another draft.

No. Thank. You.

I think many of us are somewhat "scared" that we'll blow it in some way or another, but for me personally, a lot of that fear has been negated by the fact we now have a GM with experience. A guy who has done it before, done it well, and has a ton of assets to work with. Given our experience with trading down and missing out on potential blue-chippers, I seriously doubt we'll trade out of the #1 pick. Now, #4 will almost certainly be a trade down in my crazy mind, but I don't expect it to be TOO far down. Our staff has essentially said we're taking a QB first, and we've already turned down offers for a trade. I'd LOVE to know what the details of those trades were, but you can bet teams will be coming with their very best offers as the draft begins. Still, I don't see us moving out of #1.
My biggest fear is trying to get too cute and trading out of the #1 and somehow missing out on our "favorite" QB. Even if we move anywhere from 2-5 and we draft a QB, I can still read the headlines in my head, "Browns wanted someone else, but settled for (enter name)." We don't NEED to settle, and we don't NEED to trade down...not from #1. Identify your favorite QB, draft him, and if you want to get cute, do so with the #4.
My other fear? Drafting Josh Allen. This guy scares me to DEATH, and people can try and explain away his miserable completion percentage all they want, but his accuracy means "NO WAY" to me. On the flip side, apparently Allen is extremely bright and did somewhat better on the "white board" than some expected, but Allen represents (to me) the biggest "boom or bust" candidate in the draft, and when you're the Browns, you can't choose that guy. You have to pick the guy who you feel has the safest floor, and someone you feel strongly about starting for your team during the next 10 years. I want Baker Mayfield, and that's not going to change. I could care less about his height, as he rarely got passes knocked down in college, and he's scary accurate. I don't have a stat to prove it, but when I watched Baker play, he really seemed to deliver the ball to people where they could catch it and RUN with it. We have guys on our team who can be scary good after the catch. THAT'S where accuracy is really going to help us. Oh, and Baker doesn't throw picks, either.
What's my biggest fear for our offense this year? Ironically, it has nothing to do with the QB position at all. My biggest fear/concern with our offense is actually our FG kicker. Tyrod Taylor appears to ALWAYS be involved in close games. Again, I have no stats to prove this, and I could be way off, but Tyrod seems to be a guy who's consistently in tight games, and for a team who absolutely needs every point, we can't have anything less than a stellar kicker. We can't be going for it on the opposition's 36 yard line because we don't have faith in our kicker. We need to be to confidently line up our kicker, have him make the majority of his long kicks, and he needs to do so in close games. Additionally, we simply CAN'T get off to an awful start to the season. If we start out 0-4 or something, it's going to get UGLY in Cleveland (well, UGLIER anyways). For seemingly once in our darn lives, we need to win the first darn game. Get that freaking gorilla off our backs, and start focusing on winning some more games. We can't have a situation where we're searching for that elusive "first win" week in and week out. The NFL has so many close games, and we need a kicker who can make tough kicks to ensure we grab the ones we can.
Another offensive fear I have is obviously Josh Gordon. Every day it seems like I'm checking my phone to see, "Gordon tested positive, is off the team!" or some crap like that. Every single time I see a Browns logo on my phone indicating there's Browns news, I get scared. Josh is simply THAT good, and while he was admittedly a little scattered during his 5 games last year, I certainly believe him being able to participate with his team ALL YEAR long and into training camp will do wonders for the guy. He sees the payday Landry got, and you KNOW he sees his paltry paycheck (in comparison, of course) and wants something more. Josh needs to prove he can play, and prove even more that he can stay in the league. He does that, and we have an offense you don't want to mess with. You're not going to double-team Landry AND Gordon all that much, and if you're going to "box" Gordon with a safety, or flat-out double cover him, Landry and maybe even Coleman will have EXCELLENT opportunities. Josh opens so many doors for our offense. I only hope they stay open and he doesn't slam it shut on his NFL future.

Two more developing issues from Dorsey's presser: 1.)This, more eye popping than the other,maybe. Trading or not taking your QB choice at #1? Since 1970, 21 QB's have been picked 1st overall.8 have won a SB.Three (4 counting P.Manning) are in the HOF.4 are complete Busts. Basically we have a 3 in 1 chance of getting a really good QB staying & choosing QB at #1. I'd almost bet there weren't 4 hyped up QB's like in this class in any of those years..2.) Taking a QB that fits into your already "Offensive designed Packages", may not get us the best accual QB in this draft? Taking the best QB than playing up to his best offensive skill sets may not need the red hammers to put square blocks into round holes..

LOL-I just wrote pretty much the same thing in the other thread on Baker.

Nope.
But judging by cal's reaction to you, I can tell you are doing standup work over there... keep up the good fight my friend!
