Mike Pettine Interview
-
I'm a 60 year old woman who had in my mock draft Kalhil Mack-Derek Carr. I never wavered. How do professionals like Farmer & Pettine wind up with Gilbert at 8?
Thanks to Pettine & Farmer we are now in a total rebuilding stage with no wide receivers, running back, QB, pass rush, secondary, on and on it goes!

Farmer et al are not as smart as you my dear.

A change from draft talk for a little while.
God, makes me sad reading it.
Like Opal alluded to, the browns have remarkably drafted worse than any one of us would have.
Even Poe G ... he was all over Derek Carr. Lot's of guys had Mack.
I see it every year. This year, I like Buckner and Lynch.
Maybe they will both be gone, maybe we will trade and be drafting in different spots ... but ... for once ... I'd like for the Browns to do better than me.

Exactly Z. Ladanian Tomlinson would have been a Brown, as well as Clay Matthews Jr. Butterfingers Braylon and Johnny Football would have been another teams problem.
Now with the Cleveland slant- I won't be upset if we draft Cardale- if he's still there in a round Sashi & company deem appropriate.

Agreed. the Browns would be much further along if they had just listened to us fans. It goes all the way back to 1999.

I'm tellin' ya, chickens and darts puts in the playoffs in a couple a years!
Not monkeys though. Too much like the pickers since '99.

Ag, it was scientifically proven- Chickens could have done a better job of drafting than Ray Farmer.

The Three Stooges? But it's not funny anymore.

Pettine, Haslem and Obammy. -
Stop bringing up mack, that ones more painful than watt cause at least with watt he was projected as a 4-3 guy and we weren't running that then. Mack just fit on all levels. I was screaming that Mack was perfect as he could also play ilb'er and potentially take over as the cpt of the defense in a few years....and this year didn't he make the pro bowl as both inside and outside lb'er? Fucking sick.

You really need to start thinking about shedding the 4-3 3-4 labels in the classic sense many of you toss around.
That said, I seem to remember through a drunken haze that our front office said Johnny was the #1 guy on their board at the QB spot. Now they're saying he was not the number one player on their board at the time.
Like many of us know, Johnny was Haslam's pick. I hope that one year of increased season ticket sales was worth it, jackass. I wanted Roby, Carr, Filo, Hyde... ANYONE but Manziel when we got to 22.

I remember, but more muted since we really did not think Mack was ever going to get to us at #4.

That's pretty much plain as mud now. I hope Jimmuh has learned his lesson to not take advice from homeless guys, and Sashi told him as the owner, he can still sit in the War Room- but we're going to duct tape your mouth.

yeah...which if I remember correctly was our FO's reasoning why we didn't take him even though we were running a 3-4 just like Houston. Then he goes on to become one of the best defensive lineman in the history of the sport. A "zero" baggage guy to boot. At the time I was thinking why not change to more 4-3 for a guy like that. I'm not gonna say I anticpated what he ended up becoming but everyone knew he would be a very very good DE....so if a guy like that comes out I would like to see a team that can make adjustments to that kind of talent in order to utilize them. Kind of like what we're going through now, oh we can't take Bosa cause he can't be a 3-4 OLB'er. Well he can you just have to make him a strict jack and not expect him to go out into deep man coverage like Pettine had Kruger and Monty doing last year.
