Draft Talk

I'm Camp Allen now... and on board with Hooker as an option to boot, but not if it comes down to a choice between he and Foster.
Front to back and inside out...

Haha, I've not settled into anything just yet. I'm keeping the options open. I'm not opposed to...
1- Taking the Franchise QB at #1 overall
2- Drafting a defensive phenome at #1
3- Trading the Top Spot for a King's Ransom to some draft wealthy team
4- Trading UP from 10ish to the #2 spot to take BOTH the QB and the DE/OLB
...building the offense this year and helping out the defense by scoring points and keeping them fresh, because I believe that their are some really bright spots on the Defensive side of the ball. Resign Collins and keep that talent here, build around it some, draft Garrett's teammate Hall and a talented CB. Move Haden to the back end of the Defense and let him play Safety. They had Williams out there doing it and it was probably the best I've seen him play. Haden would be so much more potent back there with a chance to surv.... getting off topic here.
But, It was funny. I taught my wife how to play that Draft game and I had her draft earlier and this is what she came up with...

So slit your wrists why don't you?

4 picks in the first 50. That should translate into 2 pro bowl talents and 2 very good players on the fringe of the pro bowl.
If drafted correctly.

Damn Cowboys. Could have been #9. Of course Sashi can try to parlay that into 5 picks in the first round 2018. Including the #1 when the Browns go 1-15 again.

Let's say just for kicks.
We draft Trubisky and Fournette. We resign Pryor and we get Gordon Back. We can draft either Pocic or Elflein at the top of the second round.
QB- Trubisky, Kessler
RB- Fournette, Johnson, Humphrey
WR- Gordon, Pryor, Coleman, Higgins
OL- Thomas, Bitonio, Elflein, Erving, Paztor
I think that would be a really strong offensive unit.

That is all well and good.....but.....what about the defense, which is still the weakest part of this team.

Just saying, the Defense looked good yesterday. We're looking at a lot of impact players entering their second year, hopefully they make the jump. They will be in the second year of their system and with a little continuity they could have an impact.
Watch this...
If we get the QB #1 and lose out on Garrett, we can still get Hall a little later.
But, if we're going to move forward we need a QB that can stabilize the position. McCown is getting old, Griffin and Kessler are not the answer... Trubisky looks like he could be the real deal. The kid is a heck of a QB. His highlight reels show all tools that you're looking for in a QB. He's tall, he has an accurate rocket arm and can make plays with his feet.
Just watch this bowl game highlight. Yeah, they end up losing the game but he gave them a chance to win. I went back and watched all of games in which they lost this year. He wasn't the reason when they lost, and if he did have a mistake he battled back and gave them a chance to pull out the win.

Mitch Trubisky throws such an amazing deep ball! I love the angle and the velocity on his throws... almost looks like that ball is going to go on forever!
Then you find a way to take this monster to take over for Crowell and we have an allstar offense.
If we want to change our fortunes, let's get these guys and people will be forced to fear playing the Browns. I believe in our Defense... our Offense needs and identity, this would accomplish that.

As much as SEC teams doubled teamed and ran away from Garrett all year long, Hall should have had a better year on the other side of the D. But he didn't. He is late round at best.

Looked like he had Cam Erving playing center for him on the 2 pointer. Hopefully...to my mind, we take Trub and an OC to go with him: Elflein/Pocic.

I don't think that Fournette has any better of a future prospect in this league than Crowell does. Not at all.

If Crowell was as good as Fournette... Duke Johnson would never see the field.
