That depends on one position's status after the 2016 season.

I disagree. From a quote from pooch belly Parcells, "you are what your record is".

In the sense of good, bad, etc., for the team, sure... but not a very useful measure for evaluation of groups/departments or individuals within the organization.

Noooo not having that I would put my shite high school GPA up against anyone

If we end up with a top-15 pick from philly, and can parlay that once more in to another first round pick and a second round pick, and keep generating extra second round picks in perpetuity, then I'd say it's worth it.

It also means that you can keep picks in reserve for that one play that comes around every 10 years that is truly elite.

@furious-styles said:

Analytics I guess. It apparently says "there is quality in numbers". We did have 14 picks this year where normally we would only have had 7. I guess the theory is: "If we only hit on half the players we draft....then it is better to have more picks. Out of 14 they may be thinking we can get 7 decent players, but if we only have 7 picks, we would only get 3-4 decent player. With this strategy then eventually we will have enough decent players to make a decent team.

Fair to say?

Of course the key it to hit on the players. You can't have 6 straight 1st round picks be shizer.

Also possible if he does not...

And at home...

New systems on both sides of the ball... significant turnover of players... new personnel selecting players in a new way that even they are not sure of.

The key for 2016 is signs of improvement... in the culture... in the play... not in the W/L. There will be moral victories.

Until the feedback loop that the coming season will be is established, then the model is incomplete.

First you have to learn to win on the road along with winning the close games.

Because most fans are dumb like you. If that 2-14 season was contested, than it's building. If they were blowouts...than it might be time to look at another redo cause you may not have the pieces you thought you had.

@wargograw said:

no down the line in years 2 and 3, if the games aren't close and we're still only winning a couple against the worst teams in the NFL..than you hit the redo switch again with the players, not the coaches. Yes next year there's gonna be some bad like dungeon power gay shit happening down at First energy and it's not gonna be the Browns catching. Just the way it's gonna have to be for a year or two.

@clevfan4life said:

How?

You said:

"If they were blowouts...than it might be time to look at another redo cause you may not have the pieces you thought you had."

I said there will be blowouts.

Then you said you agree.

No I actually know what I'm talking about go drink your ensure.

@mr.-make-believe said:

Before the draft, I was thinking this looked like a 2 or 3 win team. After the draft though, it wouldn't be overly surprising for me to see them at five or six wins.

.

Ok let's just address the defensive side of the ball. Do the additions of ogbah, nassib and wright give you some notion that we'll be stopping the run better this coming year? If so how?

The only guy I can see having some effect is scoob if he gets on the field a lot toward the end of the season. But our edge play is going to be almost exactly the same. We have not added anyone in the draft that was a reknowned run stopper on the edge. And frankly without that, the inside run d suffers so scoob wouldn't matter.

The only potential immediate bright spot on the lb'ing Corp is orchard. Please let's not expect scoob to come out and blow us all away. Kids got as much work as anybody ahead of him

@diehardbrownsfan said:

Yea, I guess this is where I am too, that may be why I'm a little more optimistic that most/some. Teams going from shitty to at least competitive in only 1 off season seems like the new norm now, and if we can keep RG3 healthy all year, which would mean he plays all year, then we should be scoring points and that alone gives us a decent shot on any Sunday.

@wargograw said:

Well that kind of contradicts your earlier post, but ok.

How?

The big thing (much more improtant than record) is that we see direction and progress. That's what I'm looking forward to the most.
