Goff Or Lynch @2?
-
I say neither at #2 - hear me out.
- #2 - Bosa.
- #32 - We hope to god Jaylon Smith falls to #32 because of his destroyed-to-shit knee. If he doesn't we just pick between Reggie Ragland, Shilique Calhoun, Michael Thomas, Laquan Treadwell, Shaq Lawson, or Josh Doctson (I include this wide range of players because I haven't watched extensive film on them but I assume they will be available in this area and have skill sets that I like as of this current moment...again, pre-film).
- #65 - Cardale Jones.
- #96 - Trade for 2017 third.
- #129 - Trade for 2017 fourth.
- 5th round compensatory - take best SS available
- Probable other 5th round compensatory - BPA if can't trade.
- The rest - move to 2017 assets if possible.
- We trade Johnny Manziel to Dallas for whatever we can get - ideally a 2017 third, but likely not. Probably more in the range of a fifth.
We go into the season with Josh McCown at the helm and let Cardale ride the bench. Now, ideally Cardale would take over in training camp, pass for 5,000+ yards, become a future HOF QB and lead us to the Super Bowl next season and every season for the next 12-15 years.
But that is highly unlikely to happen.
What will likely more happen is that Cardale will struggle to grasp the playbook, he'll play sparingly in the preseason and look lost, and then never see the field until Josh McCown comes down with an injury. But that's fine. Because we win 4 games next season under McCown, then only one under Cardale - putting us at 5-11 and picking 5th.
Then we:
- Package our 2017 first and second and our 2018 first and second, move up to #1 and take Deshaun Watson.
- 3rd round - BPA OL
- 3rd round (via trade) - BPA WR
- 4th round - trade for 2018 3rd round
- 4th round (via trade) - trade for 2018 3rd round
- Trade for future assets
This plan allows us to take the likely BPA available in this draft (Bosa), get a strong LB (a position of need) and take a QB - while accounting for the fact that the QB we get in 2016 might not work out. It's a plan with a built-in backup plan.
I did this just to piss everyone off.
It doesn't piss me off. I don't think it's the worst plan in the world.

OK-but no way Dallas gives the Browns a 5th unless they pass it on to JM.

But what if I'm assuming that Chip Kelly wants Johnny Manziel - thus creating a bidding war? Now, its likely Kelly wouldn't be able to offer a fifth for him - but he may offer Kaepernick and a sixth, which we could then run to Jerrah and say "hey look, this is what's on the table - beat it or we take it."
I also wouldn't mind seeing a Manziel / Kaepernick trade and then we go into 2016 evaluating Kaep - as long as the Watson plan is still in effect for when Kaep proves he's garbage.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
I assume Kelly doesn't get nearly as much say in personnel, so if he tells the FO he wants Johnny he might get "fuck no"

We currently have 4 QBs on the roster that are better than anyone in the draft for the 2016 season. If we draft another Qb in the first round this year it's gonna be business as usual, another miserable season. We need defense and WRs.

We might have one QB on the roster who is better than anyone we could draft this year. McCown would probably play better than any rookie this year. I wouldn't bet against Goff or Lynch outplaying Davis, Shaw or the vegas village idiot.

Mccown is still not a good quarterback. He's still a stopgap solution.

He's good enough to play if our new rookie isn't ready. But the point was someone saying that we have 4 QBs on the roster better than anyone we could draft this year and that's just a stupid thing to post.

Stupidest post I've read all week!!
REALLY!!!!!
Even adding Cardale in round 3 or 4 would be an upgrade at the lower end!

Chip: John-boy, we need you out here.
JM: Really? No concerns about... you know... the off-field stuff? None of which by the way was my fault.
Chip: Nah... Look even have a new contract waiting for you. Nice extension and includes housing.
JM: Really? Cool... I heard SF is a really expensive place to live. Where is the place?
Chip: A really sweet, little island out in the middle of the bay...

Well if he tells him alcy traz JM might bite.

If we draft a qb #2(or #1 if we have to trade up because someone else wants him), he *WILL* play most of year 1. There is NO FUCKING WAY that Josh Fucking Mcnown(a sucky journeyman) is going to start over a 1-2 first overall draft pick. That's simply not the way the nfl works in 2015. The last time such a thing happened was when carson palmer sat over Kitna, and that was 15 or so years ago and pretty controversial at the time. The nature of the nfl has changed a lot since then and you simply dont see first overall type qbs sit for a year or two. Doesn't happen. And if it did, thats a CONCERNING sign.....especially if the guy starting is a career journeyman who loses just about every damn game he has ever started.

Its January, and a lot of shit will go down before the Browns are on the Clock with the #2 pick. That being said, if the Browns have the opportunity to take a Franchise QB, it has to happen. I believe Goff's floor is a top 20 NFL QB while his ceiling is top 5 (elite).
Having said all that, maybe the Browns will disagree with my take on Goff, and that's fine (even though I've been beating their ass in QB scouting since I started paying attention to the draft). Maybe they can find value if a guy like Cook takes a Brett-Hundley like header into the 5th round, hell, maybe they can trade for Hundley. Whatever happens, All I want out of next season is a coaching staff that has the players ready to play their best football and a QB of the future. It's not too much to ask for, and there's a possibility we see it in 2016.

I'll puke if they trade up.
WSS

That's all anyone needs to know. The Browns will buy it from there and waste another pick on an "ok" QB who gets us hyped up to take him instead of BPA.
"Hide behind the chainsaws" fools us every f'n time. "If you're in a horror movie (and we are) that's what you do."
Yeah they definitely screwed the pooch when they drafted the drunk brat from A&M.

C'mon man. How can you pass on a guy who declares, "I'm gonna wreck this team".,.... I mean league !
-
When I read up on Bosa, sure, he's a top name, but he sounds like Kruger, and we already
have Kruger.
It's Goff. He doesn't have to play immediately, and he has serious skills to become a top qb in the
league... and he loves the game, and already does his own reads etc at the los.

Agree, cal... start him/sit him... whatever the circumstances of his readiness and the team's immediate need combine to dictate.

Agree with this summary... very close to my assessment of Goff.
