I think I was trying to be funny, but for the life of me I can't figure out how. And yes, that was only 15 minutes ago.

And as I recall Harvard graduates. Both of which seemed to offer the same quality of advice.

I guess we will definitely find out after this draft.

Next year, it could be the brain trust of Boxcar Willy and Trashcan Clyde.

Polian could certainly have a GM job if he wanted one. Do you doubt that? I mean, they just elected him to the Hall of Fame.

FYI, in ESPNs mock draft which they aired last night, the Browns at #8 took: Ezekiel Elliot Running Back, Ohio St.

(and Bosa was still on the board....he went next at 9)

i'd be OK with that, Elliot would help ease some of the burden off of our injury-prone QBs

As big of a fan of Zeke's game that I am... I would have trouble with that decision.

Would much rather see us trade back for a team in the late teens/ early twenties that REALLY wants Zeke and get a second round pick in this year's draft.

The way it stands right now, I think we can really afford to take a gamble on Jaylon in rd. 3. With the amount of mid-round picks we have, we're not reliant on him being a contributor at all. Even if he completely busts and never steps foot on the field, he's one of 13 picks this year. Assuming we hit on 25% of those picks (and that's a very low number to assume), that's three picks that end up positively contributing to us - which is a solid draft for us in most years.

Once again, I fail to see how it would be a bad thing.

Even a move to 8 from the mid teens should net a 2nd...

As for Smith? I'd prefer to see it used either for an individual prospect or as part of a trade package back up into the 2nd.

Is Smith a group prospect?

I don't think Zeke will be their but... I don't see us re-signing Crow after next season either. Hue had a combo of Hill & Bernard. Duke & Zeke sounds like a good match for a while imo.. Am with you, we can nick pick every player in this draft including Ramsey & Buckner & it's not a strong draft class imo, but Zeke is a can't miss compared to others in this top 10..

I dunno, what is a better duo, Duke and Zeke or Luke and Jake?

Theirs only one with the best soundtrack ever. Jake & Elwood Blues. The Fab 2. The Blues Brothers

I'm all in on Luke Skywalker. Man, using the Force he could paralyze those defensive backs. 100 yard passes? No problem.

If we take Elliott do we trade Crowell ?

Likely not. They have nothing invested in him. He can rotate in for Elliot when he needs a break. Duke will remain the 3rd down back.

No.....we can always use good backs. Elliot, Duke, Crow. Sounds like a great group to have.

Only question....can we run the Wishbone with them?

[The Gipper]

Or since Zeke is from Ohio State, the old Woody Hayes Robust T?

[Tour2ma]

Nope... Still no FB...
