You know what would help the 4-2-5 work well?
A team that scores a lot of points and puts opposing teams in consistent catch-up mode.
That is not the Browns, so teams just get physical with the Browns and run it down their throats.

That is not the Browns,
But it's what they were 'supposed' to be! OBJ, Landry, Chubb, Callaway, Higgins, Baker!!
Remember when Freddie tried to attack the end of the first half against Seattle? When he tried to score, then hold them, and then score again? He, and we, found out that they weren't that explosive, killer offense. One time, early in the season, he won the coin flip and elected to receive. He wanted his explosive offense to come out and set the tone, win the crowd, start the momentum. Not to be...

Here's some draft talk for you. Take the following 1st round scenario I came across playing with one of the draft sims, First-Pick.
- Cinci trades out of the #1 overall with JAX. They figure one of the two top QBs will be there at #8, their next pick. JAX selects Chase Young with the #1 overall.
- NYG takes one of the hotter Edge prospects, AJ Epesa, Iowa.
- MIA takes a LT... Tristen Wirfs, Iowa... surprising, but they have more 1sts with which to get a QB (they take Hebert later).
- NYJ trades up with WSH to take the other hot LT prospect, Andrew Thomas, UGA...
- DET takes the hot LB prospect... Clemson's Isaiah Simmons.
- AZ is on the clock...
- You know from pre-draft discussions (or playing the sim earlier) that if you offer AZ your 2020 and 2021 #1's they will likely say yes.
- The three players you were (or at least I was) targeting (Wirfs, Thomas, Simmons) when you had the early convos with AZ are all gone, but...
- Joe Burrows is there.
Do you call AZ and make the offer?
If not for Joe, is there another prospect you think worth the price, e.g., Delpit, LSU's Safety, or Buckeye CB, Okudah?

Fixed... don't know why, but every year I give LSU an extra prospect or two.
Brown's a top DL to be sure, but seems rich for two #1s... as does Delpit. Okudah might be that good, but not a trade I'd make for him.
FWIW... I took Burrows... ?

Burrow isn't making it out of the top

Yeah... I hear you, but if he did would you go get him?

No. You don't quit on Baker yet. You've seen the potential. You just get a competent staff around him

I love mocks that have us taking a safety, or worse, a WR

As of typing this, Burrow might be the best 'pro ready' looking QB I've seen since Luck. Kid has it all.
Would I pull the trigger on that? I don't think I can answer that as of now. But I'm not jealous of the person who would be in the position to make such a difficult choice.
Edit: I will say this - lost in all the talk of Freddie and Wilks, I believe this team (really, Baker) misses the knowledge and direction coach Zampese provided.

If you are who? The Browns? No way. I mean, I like Joe Burrow.....but I by no means see him as a sure fire can't miss pro prospect. He reminds me of Jared Goff...who I think of in the same light. Sure, Goff played well enough to get his team to the SB...in the right system. And the same could be true with Joe. But, as a Browns fan, I am in no way clamoring for Burrow over Baker.....if that is your implication.

Pick a player whose first name begins with De or La, or has unnecessary apostrophes in their name. They seem to work out. Also an Anglo Saxonish last name. The more apostrophes the better. Like DeForest Kelley or something.

You mean like Dennis or Larry?
DeCastro? De with Hispanic last name.
Or are you looking for like "O'Neil" O'Brian O'Gill
Then their was By'not'e Butler.

Like Leroy DeForest Kelly ?

Gip I think his name was Butler By’note’. Unfortunately he was just a journeyman d back, and By’note’ became a mere fo’otnote’. If he had but one more unnecessary apostrophe he might have become a star.
Guys with an Islamic sounding first name and the last name from one of the early Presidents are also potentially good draft picks. Mohammed Jackson, Khalid Van Buren, Jamal Jefferson.

Or you push Baker with some real competition. I think he came into this season a little complacent. It was his first one in years where he did to have to fight for the starting job.
Plus one of the reasons I'd pull that trigger is that regardless of which QB won the job, I feel that at minimum I'd recover a 2021 1st-round pick when I traded the runner-up.
As of typing this, Burrow might be the best 'pro ready' looking QB I've seen since Luck. Kid has it all.
Agree... he's my new, "Best since Luck" as well. That's why it's easy to pull that trigger.

Malik Monroe? Jor-el Washington, Kal-el Adams Zor-el Hancock?
Err, wait, some of those are Kryptonian names.
