      The only bet I’ve placed is Mike Gesicki to be the first TE taken at 5/1 or +600 in your world 

      I’m looking at you Belichik sitting there at 23

        It would be hard to pass on Barkley or Chubb at 4.

        Also, 2 - 1st round QBs means 2 big QB contracts. I dont see 2 QBs happening and after all this time Dorsey will make the right choice. He can draft that is for sure.

          My crystal ball says we go with Darnold, Giants take Barkey, Jets take a QB and we take Chubb. Broncos have a ton of choices including trade down.

            not a chance the browns take a qb at #1 and #4. Basically, the trade value of whomever "doesn't win" the qb battle goes significantly down the second the browns make the pick because everyone knows they are not going to keep both guys on the roster and there is no way you are going to get the equivalent of the #4 pick for him. Also, more importantly, there just aren't enough "reps" to really see what those guys can do. Especially with an established starter in TT and even if you eliminate Stanton, the number of reps with the #1's is going to be minimal at best. In addition, with the new salary cap rules and rookie scale, the best thing about taking a qb high in the draft is that if you "hit" on them, you have them for 5 years at basically the equivalent of the 16th highest paid qb in the game. That's cheap money that you can use to build the rest of the team. SO why would you want to risk that financially? In case you are wondering, if the browns took Barkley at #1, he would walk in as the #4 highest paid RB in the game before he even touches the ball (Carlos Hyde is already the 9th highest). The financial value of taking a rb that high is "at best" breaking even if he becomes all pro. Finally, taking two qbs in the top 5 basically admits as a GM you can not discover elite talent especially at the QB position. It's the ultimate scarlet letter. Now, I think it is very likely, the browns will take a second qb in this draft, perhaps using their fourth rounder or even trading up into the third (Mike White).

              It's not hard to pass on Chubb because there's a better pure rusher in the draft in Harold Landry.

                Well....that certainly remains to be seen.

                But I see you are joining the contrarian club that thinks that a lower drafted player will turn out to be as good or better than the higher drafted players.  See my Prudent Solutions thread.

                        Betting on a trade down looks to be the best bet on the board.

                            NE tore Bradys contract up his 2nd season. The potential for a QB controversy is there if both QBs play good.

                            See Jimmy Garrapolo and Brady.

                                Rookie contracts are set by where they are taken in the draft, not the position they play. So for up to five years the impact is known regardless of the positions picked.

                                NE tore Bradys contract up his 2nd season. The potential for a QB controversy is there if both QBs play good.

                                See Jimmy Garrapolo and Brady.

                                  We did.   And Couch may in fact have been a lot better than most people think he was.   But he was injured and that killed his career. 

                                  I am just saying, in hindsight......any team would have likely given up  3 Top 5 draft picks to get the Brady that we know him to have become....More maybe.

                                    We shall see how good Garagiola is now that he will be starting a full season.   Yes, the evidence is promising.....but then....it also was when Scott Mitchell took over.

                                      Youre hilarious.

                                       In return, the NFLPA agreed to a salary cap based upon an agreed percentage of revenues.[4] The agreement had an immediate impact on player salaries, increasing wages for the 1993 season by 38 percent.[4]

                                      The CBA agreed to in 1993 was extended by the agreement of players and owners in 1998. This lasted until the 2002 season, when the CBA was extended through the 2006 season.[4]

                                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Collective_Bargaining_Agreement

                                      Furthermore, even if there was not a CBA when Brady signed his contract there is today. Youre too easy.

                                      The whole premise of my point was not rookie contracts despite your heading down the wrong way. Drafting 2 top 10 QBs is a bad idea and creates a QB controversy from day 1.

                                        Also, 2 - 1st round QBs means 2 big QB contracts. I dont see 2 QBs happening and after all this time Dorsey will make the right choice. He can draft that is for sure.

                                        Sure, QBs at 1 and 4 is not a likely scenario, but contracts aren't a factor.

                                        Rookie contracts are set by where they are taken in the draft, not the position they play. So for up to five years the impact is known regardless of the positions picked.

                                        But compare the salaries to other nfl players. Those salaries in years 3-5, are in that range. RB's as a whole, aren't making that kind of money. Here is a rough chart of the nfl rookie salary scale (2017). This doesn't include the fifth year option either, which is  where the top 10 draft selections receive salaries that are equal to the average of the 10 highest salaries at their given position. The rest of the first-round picks receive an average of the third through 25th highest salaries at their position.

                                        https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkay/2017/04/27/2017-nfl-draft-rookie-salary-projections-for-first-round-picks/#32fa5caf534c

                                        So if the browns take a qb at #1 and #4, they could potentially be investing over $60 million in two players, one of whom is never going to see the field and you will never get #4 value for in a trade.

                                          The only bet I’ve placed is Mike Gesicki to be the first TE taken at 5/1 or +600 in your world 

                                          I’m looking at you Belichik sitting there at 23

                                          Or do the Patriots go with a future quarterback? 

                                          GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!
