    Carolina won, Miami won, Seatlle won, Washington won, KC won, The Browns won't catch Indy, Stl, or Minn, but if we lose out we will be picking 4th, 5th, or 6. But then again they will probably win against the Cards and screw it up anyway.

          What good is it to improve your draft position, when your front office has a penchant for trading it away?

            I highly doubt we will trade it away this year. We need offensive firepower. We will get an offensive weapon this year. This loss hurts, but it almost assures us the fourth pick.

                Draft position is the only upside of the latest Browns debacle on the field. Up 17-7 in the second half and still lose sucks!!

                    Hopefully, but chances are Barkley will also still be there and Browns likely go with the more conservative pick if go QB, and knowing our luck it will be a big mistake and we will have chosen the wrong one, think if we pick at 4, could have too many choices and the backroom staff will just go into meltdown not knowing what to do 😵

                      Noooooo to Barkley i think hes good but RG3 has higher potential, also RG3 is the type of player to come in and will make the team at least explosvie right out the gate as with Barkley he needs more peices in place ala McCoy...

                        If we have 4th position... It helps our chances of moving up to number 1 if the colts are open to tradiing the pick rather than taking Luck.

                          No to a QB. Sign a GREAT WR or OL... Joe Thomas was a first round pick and he's been to multiple probowls since he's been here, get another like him. Get a STUD LB or another DE, heck maybe a shutdown CB or Ed Reed type Safety. Screw the damn QB position, it's a wasted pick with all that this team needs. Let's put some more pieces in place an see if Colt can do it, unless we can snatch Luck I vote NO on the QB in this Draft.

                            Also think about this If the Colts win another game, and Minny or St.Louis have the 1st pick do we try to trade up with them? I dont think ethier of them need Luck but would they pass on him????

                              We need a qb. All the best teams have a great qb... We don't. McCoys intangibles are good but he is small and his arm strength is not that great. We need a qb, if it costs a ton to get one it is worth it to become relevant. It comes down to to is indy willing to make a trade oe do they want Luck?

                                I think this game sealed McCoy's fate. We're moving on. Seneca came in and did very well.

                                  People say since we're getting a high draft pick, lets get a QB. I just dont understand how people are willing to give up on Colt already? Guy gets a new coach and theres a lockout so he almost has 0 time to practice and learn this new style of offense. The guy sure is good at getting up off the ground seeing as how he doesnt have an Oline to protect him. Who cares that he doesnt have ANY talent to throw to? Who cares if none of the receivers can get open? Starting running back out for a good stretch of the season? that means no run game or run block so all the defenses are going to blitz as much as possible. I mean when we played some equally bad teams with bad defenses and colt had A LITTLE time to throw he looked very good and accurate. Im not sure where people come up with the no arm strength BS either, is arm strength important in a west coast offense? Im done ranting lets just do like everyones says and draft another QB and put him in colts place. When next seasons over and the new rookie QB hasnt won a superbowl we can repeat the process. With so many impatient fans out there not willing to give anyone a chance they're always going to suck so its helpless. Why not give colt and a coach 4,5, or 6 years playing together with a team? maybe some of our receivers (little) will have learned how to not drop 5 passes in one game by then who knows? Why not with high draft picks, draft good receivers and some beefy offensive line men? Like I said it doesnt matter either way the fans are too impatient and wont give anyone a legit chance so they're always going to suck

                                    I gotta say i completely agree with you about giving McCoy more time but as far as a draft goes i would always go BPA over Needs thats just the way i think good teams are made..Now if Blackmon were to somehow fall i would defentily take him if hes not there at say pick #4 or 5 i would consider getting RG3 and still starting McCoy and building the team with more peices for ethier one...If McCoy does alot better you trade RG3 or you keep who ever you feel Comfortable with reminds me of Kevin Kolb situation in Philly or the Matt Casell situation in New England i still take best player on the board..

                                        There is truth in that.

                                        They will overthink the process and get all gummed up.

                                        If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                          I just dont understand how people are willing to give up on Colt already?

                                          Some wines require time to bring out the potential. Some wines don't.

                                          Colt is like Boones Farm. It's as good as it is going to get, and not very good.

                                          If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
