    Don't encourage Po. He's been sort of scarce around here since his other hero (Hogan) got traded for a bag of magic beans.

        Here's the thing:  Without a good passing attack, Barkley will be an average RB.

        The difference in Todd Gurley is a good example.

        First Dorsey has to take who he thinks is the best QB in this draft for his team.  We cannot let our QB go to another team.  Draft him at #1.  It's the QB that makes the RB...not the other way around.  

        Then, if the #2 pick (Giants?) don't pick him, he'll be there at 4.  And then we'll see how much Dorsey likes a RB high in round 1.

          Hogan didn't get traded... He asked to be traded. Not quite the same thing. 

          And I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Florida... it was the bomb. 

          But now it's full steam ahead for the draft! Barkley or Bust #1!!!

            Though most people believe the #Browns are zeroed in on a QB, GM John Dorsey says “why wouldn’t I” be when asked if he’s still considering Saquon Barkley at No. 1.

                The Browns were lucky to get anything in trade for Hogan. If he they had not been able to get some handful of means he would've been let go for nothing. I know it you know it. Beans

                  Hooray, another thread that I can offer PoG to back up his guarantee that the Browns take Barkley #1 overall for $100 and he'll ignore because he knows he's full of poop.

                                    And Adrian Peterson who I consider a superior RB, wasn't drafted until #7.   Just another reason to NOT draft Saquon at #1.

                                    Every player this guy has pined for is a non-factor in the NFL, or out of the league. Admire his determination though!

                                    Well, to be fair, he did guess right on two- Honey Badger, and Derek Carr. Hmmmm, Carr or Manziel- tough choice there. BTW, taking a look back at the 2014 Draft, I just got ill looking at all the Pro Bowl talent we passed on to get Gilbert and Johnny.

                                          It would be hard to fault them for taking an offensive weapon, obviously.  Or the other defensive players you mentioned.  But I think a pretty good RB could be had in round 2.

                                          But ya know what, if they want to give TieRod the best RB in the draft as a weapon so they can go 'win now'....who's gonna fault them?

                                          BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE
