    Hopefully, this translates to the NFL....  What sold me on Baker is he's crazy accurate- 70 completion%.  I don't what to hear the "yeah, but his receivers were wide open" BS. He was hitting those wide open guys in stride, with zero adjustment to his passes. How many times last year did we see Kizer throw passes behind guys , over their heads or in the dirt? His completion% would have been a lot worse if guys weren't making circus catches the times his passers were 1\2 on target. 
    * 33-6 in 39 starts
    * Second in D-I history in passer efficiency rating (175.4) 
    * Big 12 all-time record in yards per attempt (9.8), 
    * 131:30 TD-to-INT ratio, and 21 rushing scores. 
    * Led nation in QB rating under pressure in 2015 (117.4), 2016 (119.2), and 2017 (111.6).

    I’m sorry but you’ve got to hear it.  Against Kansas, Texas Tech, WVU, OK St, TCU, Baylor he basically stood back in the pocket and waited for guys to get open.  He rarely put in into windows or made anticipated throws.  To top it all off the team rushed for 220 a game.  He was playing a video game.  You want to truly evaluate Baker look at the six losses.

    Well....this has always been the issue with Big 12 QBs.   In the one loss...the biggest loss.....he put up 48 pts on Georgia.....a big bad SEC team. 

    Maybe the Browns could think about having their defense help the guy if he like puts up 48 points for the Browns.

    The Georgia Bulldogs won that game because the OK defense was a sieve vs. Michel/Chubb.....not because  Beaver made a bunch of bad plays.

  • I wanted Darnold.   But Mayfield is my QB now.   Gotta pull for the kid.  

  • Baker Mayfield better have all the intangibles his fans say he has and more. Intangibles literally oozing out of every orifice. 

    Because physically he possesses nothing that warrants a #1 overall pick. Not elite athleticism, not elite size, not an elite arm.

    Deshone Kizer arguably had those three things

    Kizer was a raw QB taken with the 52nd overall pick, who was rushed onto the field by an incompetent franchise.

    Mayfield was taken with the #1 overall pick. 

  • he's a little douchey, but I can see why his teammates and people love him. He is definitely not afraid of the spotlight. if he balls out like we all hope, he is going to be a star.

  • I had no interest in seeing the documentary because it comes off pretty douchey that he had it made to begin with. That said, Go Browns!

  • Is sometimes somewhat of a douche. Now he's our douche though. I'm looking forward to the day he plants a  dog pound flag at Heinz Field and gives a crotch grab gesture  to Mike Tomlin.

    I nominate you to research said orifices. Please relay your findings to someone else to relay to the rest of us, and then hit the showers.

  • Nick Chubb, while he's no Saquon- put up some comparable numbers at the combine. Hyde - Chubb - Duke should be able to operate a respectable ground game. 

    While I had it:

    Barkley - Mayfield - Oliver - Williams = RB/QB/CB/OL

    They went:

    Mayfield - Ward - Corbett - Chubb = QB/CB/OL/RB 

    Time will tell which would have been better...

    Sacrificing Barkley to ensure that we got the right QB ended up being the right move for our FO. 

    I still think that had they taken Barkley first, the NY Giants would have been left holding the bag- thus they may have simply traded out to Cleveland who could then have taken Mayfield. We'll never really know if it would have happened that way but whatever, gotta keep moving forward.

    Tour in all sincerity off of the top of your head please list the guys who have been “shutdown” corners each of the past 5 years.  And by that I mean one guy being a shutdown corner each year not this guy was in 2015 but not in 2017.  I’m also curious as to the teams they played for.  So for example 

    Josh Norman Carolina, Washington 

    Just to be clear, you want a list of who has been shutdown corners every year for the past 5? 

    Patrick Peterson

    Sherm when he was healthy

    Chris Harris

    with cases to be made for Talib & Rhodes.

    Ok there is 5 out of 32 teams.   My point with this whole Ward pick is you never hear “man this team is a shut down DB away” or “I think the Colts should trade up to take a shut down DB”.  I don’t disagree that a strong defensive backfield is a good idea but the are bigger needs and more effective use of assets.

    I don't know about that...

    But it's a better value pick, IMO.

    Po- tons of respect for the way you are handling the way the draft worked out vs what you were hoping.  Seriously- great fan.
