    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.

    1. 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.
    2. NYG takes one of the hotter Edge prospects, AJ Epesa, Iowa.
    3. MIA takes a LT... Tristen Wirfs, Iowa... surprising, but they have more 1sts with which to get a QB (they take Hebert later).
    4. NYJ trades up with WSH to take the other hot LT prospect, Andrew Thomas, UGA...
    5. DET takes the hot LB prospect... LSU's Isaiah Simmons.
    6. 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?

    LB I.Simmons plays at The' Clemson University😛...My BPA is Auburn DT Derrick Brown...need is S Delpit..we get Bake a Vet not named Stanton..

    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 5.

     "The Heisman winner and next Tom Brady".   That has to be the double kiss of death.

    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.

    oh, hell no. IT makes no sense to go after a qb, even that kid from LSU - and still have the problems

    D’Andre Swift has a name that begins with “De” (phonetically anyway) and has an unnecessary apostrophe. I say take him if you can. He is going to be good.

    Before a couple hours ago, I hadn't gone back to watch a game of Joe's with fresh eyes... but it's hard to not love what you see from him.   LOVE.   Well beyond more so than what many did with Baker pre-draft.     JB's work pre-snap, even with something simple like a dummy count to see who declares, is more advanced than where Baker showed in college.    (And at times, shows now)

    Hard to not be impressed by a great deal of his tape.            So to answer your question, were a team to offer me a 1st for Baker and I was Dorsey in a position to nab Burrow?  Yes, I'd pull that trigger.
