Trust Mike Lombardi? Now please re-read your question....and tell us that you really did not just ask that.

@roycerolls said:

Most likely due diligence just as h said, but if any individual is likely to have contacts inside our FO, then Lombo would have to be high on that list.

Little wonder Corey did poorly on the Wunderlich.

Browns called teams today to see if anyone wants to move up to their 12th pick from the back of the draft. They are locked in at one.

Do we trust this guy

Due diligence. If anything, we're trading up, not back. Now if Trubs is gone and they don't like any of the other qbs, I could see that happening. General rule- don't believe Lombardi.

Is that what Jamarcus said?

Speaking of Ums (de dumbs)......didja see Corey Colemans interview this past week?.......wow.....not impressive

@texasag1969 said:

If the Browns keep #1 and draft Garrett and the above scenario plays out through pick #3, I would hope that Sashi would try to trade up to #4 to get Adams.

@texasag1969 said:

Perfect example of why I wouldn't make this trade. The Browns defense needs the most help, but the best four defenders are off the board. Not to mention that the #1 pick is head and shoulders above any other player in the draft, according to player ratings AND on the field performance. Sure, you'll get Trubisky here - but put him together with whoever you get at #18 and it still doesn't add-up to the quality of football player that Garrett is. Stand pat, take Garrett at 1 and Howard/Conley/Hooker at 12 and the Browns would be much better for it.

@gumby73 said:

Yep....and Adams is way better than Whitner ever was......I see Don Rogers....Kenny Easley type of talent.....

@mudfly said:

here's your chance to go get Whitner fresh out of OSU again..let them think your going up from 12 for QB..only thing that matters..Put Adams on the Card..

@tour2ma said:

Yep.....he is the only acceptable reason I see for a trade down(1 spot only, please).....because if the Browns found a way to get an extra #1(or more)....plus Adams.....and still keep #12....Im in.....

Adams was a guest on NFL Live yesterday. Really came over well and would pack the ladies into the stands, i.e., good-looking kid.... real face of the franchise, billboard material. Interviews? Has a bad case of the "ums", but with practice they will go away just as they faded during the show as he relaxed a little.

Told a great story about how he's been a hitter since the age of five. Was knocking kids out by age eight causing some teams to forfeit games and others to continue on the condition that Adams be sidelined. He said big hits are not his objective... his objective is to get the ball carrier on the ground by any means possible... but if a shot presents itself, he's going to take it.

I did not realize his Dad is a former 1st round pick... NYG in the 80's... and has a SB ring.

@calfoxwc said:

I honestly believe Adams is the best player in the draft.....#1.....and, in the end, will prove to be the best pro.....

Garrett has higher measureables and is at a more desirable position....but,, personally.....Id be just as happy with Adams......

@roycerolls said:

Perhaps if you add QBs getting flushed up and into the waiting arms of Des and/or Danny to your "vision", it'd be enough to get you to step back from the edge of that ledge you're on...

Don't jump, man... think of your children!

@texasag1969 said:

War............So if the trade goes through and the picks go as below in no particular order after Garrett, who do you take @ #5? Lattimore, Hooker, Trubs?

1. Garrett

2. Allen

3. Thomas

4. Adams

5. ??

OJ is also there as is Hooker, the CBs, and Reddick.

You can't put any one guy on a pedestal. There's a price for everything. I've watched him as much as anyone here. Myles ain't THAT good.

@texasag1969 said:

If he becomes that good, then you can buy his jersey later.....when you know it may continue to be worth something.

I mean, how much is a JMZ #2 going for now?

I saw them in stores for half price. Why don't you just give these away, burn them, or donate them to the Salvation Army?

@the-gipper said:

Or it might be like the Star Wars action figures my wife throw out after the kids grew up. Now they are worth a ton. Ya never know who will pay how much for what likely will be a rarity 30 years from now if it's still in plastic (like mine). Now if I can just get him to autograph it.
