    What picks do we have for next year as it stands?

    A ton: in addition to 1-7 we are scheduled for 2 comp picks in the 4th and 2 in the 5th.

    And of course we likely get JG back.

    By the way someone has us as the 3rd worst team in the 2016 draft and taking Cardale Jones. Such confidence! 😛

    Thanks for that, was hopeful of a comp in the third as we lost some high profile starters in Sheard, Cameron and Skrine

    Well even Murray was only worth a 4th so we should count our lucky stars that our hurt TE got us a 4.

    For comparison, Suh was worth a 3 at the top of the heap.

    Fair point indeed. Another load of picks then, nobody can say Farmer didn't get the chance to build his roster how he wanted, up to him to execute it.

    I think he will.

  • On my A&M board I made a long "State of the Browns" post so people could get acquainted with what's going on. In my draft conclusion post this is how I listed 2016 FA/draft needs:

    1. Quarterback IF one isn't found this season. Next year's QB class is absolutely loaded. Guys all over the place. Farmer and Pettine may be at a place with the rest of the team where they feel they can make that big splash deal for a QB. Cardale Jones is the hometown kid and he just screams "AFC North." Let's hope it's all a moot point.

    2. Tight End. Hopefully we found a solid blocker in Tefler, but we need to replace Jordan Cameron's production as a receiver.

    3. Tall, elite-level receiver. Like I've said ad nauseum, this is a luxury. You can be an elite team and not have this. Also, Josh Gordon may be this guy for you.

    4. More depth at both inside and outside linebacker.

    5. An elite RB if Crow and West don't prove themselves this season.

  • Shawn Oakman is scary.

    He's no Joey Bosa.

  • So the Packers won the Super Bowl? What was the score?

  • 3 B1G QBs top 10? Damn

  • No way is Tyler Boyd going that low. And is the Connor kid RB from Pitt highly regarded at all?

  • Now do you see the Farmer QB Plan.. The surrounding pieces now in place. 2016 A QB and Finally a Featured WR not named Josh or Gordon.. I Think 😉

  • I don't know how good Oakman actually is. Before that picture came out, no one knew who he was.

    I don't think he's very good at all. That's also not what I said. I said he was scary.

  • I would be worried that, in this scenario, the Redskins would take Cardale before he got to us. They don't want RGIII anymore, it's seems clear they would want Cardale, right?

  • Wait, how about 2017? Never too early? 😵

  • Below are some of the 2016 mock drafts floating around the internet already. Obviously, these are all way, way, way premature. However, nearly all of them (with the exception of one) have the Browns taking a quarterback.

    Most mocks have us taking Cardale Jones, while one SI.com has us taking Hackenberg. The consensus seems to be that Manziel isn't going to turn it around this year, McCown won't recreate his wonder year from Chicago - and Vegas believes our "rush heavy" offense isn't going to net us very much success without a viable QB to keep defenses honest.

  • why would someone have us taking another DT? That being said i'd take Bosa in a heartbeat. I hope we can swing something to get him.

  • Irrelevent anyway.....the Browns will be drafting in the late 20s.

    These are based off of Vegas odds or this year's draft order.

    Also, no we won't.
