What a steal for Miami that was, jiggins. That'd be awesome
Steal? Not really. Using the JJ chart, the difference between #5 (Titans) and us @ #12 is 400 points. We give them back their #52 = 380. Throw in a future 5th rounder, and DONE. I've pointed out the 49ers #2 overall is out of reach, short of a Goff\Wentz sell the ranch deal. If the Jets really want Trubs, the jump from #6 to #2 is far less costly, and flopping picks with the Titans - even less.

True, but in trading up we want to use our guy's chart, Meers, not JJ's.
JJ's is where we start discussions when we trade down.

I said the Miami desk, which was just a second rounder to move up 10 spots.

Just in case we forget that this is the time of year where everyone is an HOF. Check out this pre-draft analysis of the 2011 qb prospects...yeah, enough said.

Lord have mercy...those lists scare the CRAP out of me. I'm guessing we could find a couple of years where we could find the opposite? Maybe? POSSIBLY?
This is where the logic of "using the #1 pick on a QB" somewhat comes into play. If we feel there is only ONE guy in this QB class that has what it takes to be "the guy", then we have to pass on Myles Garrett and take the QB. Passing on the next Von Miller might get you fired, but passing on the next franchise QB...will DEFINITELY get you fired. We're basically held hostage by one position, year after year, and we won't be a serious threat to ANYBODY until we have a QB. That being said, if our brain trust doesn't feel that there's a guy in the draft who can be the Cleveland Browns QB, we have to take Garrett and don't think twice.
The whole thing just sucks. If we have a QB ranked #1 on our board and we DON'T GET HIM, can you imagine the fallout? It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't pass on Carson Wentz, who either may or may not be a capable starter. We don't know for sure, but he did show SOME promising aspects to his game...especially for a rookie (do I need to remind you of the first game of the season? How much did THAT suck?) We don't seem to want to trade for someone like McCarron or Garopolo, and I think the most likely scenario is for the Browns to draft Myles Garrett, and then try to trade up to grab our #1 QB...whoever that is (Probably Mitchell).
Don't get me wrong, I HATE trading up to the early part of the first round. I want to draft players, not trade away picks. If we can make the deal happen that doesn't cost us the damn farm, I'm all for it. Think about it. We could get our dominant pass rushing prospect at 1, move up to take our QB, and then add some secondary help in the coming rounds with whatever pick we have left. I seriously doubt we trade BOTH our second rounders this year. The best news? Whoever we draft at QB won't have the pressure of coming in and starting right away. I very much doubt that he will be able to beat out Cody Kessler or Brock Osweiler. Is it possible? Of course it is, but I would think the odds are against it. And even if Cody gets injured again, the new guy STILL doesn't have to play because our backup took two different teams to the playoffs two years in a row (although with KILLER defenses, but whatever).
If we don't like any of the QB's enough to trade up for or simply take #1, then I'm completely fine with taking a stab at one either in the 2nd or even 3rd rounds, and going into the season with Cody and Brock. We could take Myles and best player available at 12, and still have both our second rounders as well. In fact, there's a large part of my brain that actually thinks this is the way to go. Maybe Dobbs can be the guy after some seasoning? He's smart, athletic, and has a legendary work ethic. Maybe it's time for the BROWNS to find their Dak Prescott. If we don't use draft picks to move up for a QB, we're going to have a chance to add FOUR very good players this year. It's fun to think about. If we're still terrible, well then there's always next year, and I'm guessing 2018 will supply better QB's.
Me = officially excited.

jiggins, step away from the caffeine... You're constructing yourself into quandaries that do not need to exist.
Start with the easy part... Wentz. We don't know any more about his potential than we did a year ago. Yes, he started well against "a weak opponent" (how weak we painfully learned over the next 16 weeks), but he suffered as the book on him grew through the season. Nine of his 14 INTs came in the second half of the season. And his numbers fell against two of three division opponents the second time they saw him.
IF we have a QB #1 on our board, then we take him at #1, unless we know we can maneuver to get him later either by trading the #1 or tabbing MG and getting the QB later... maybe as late as 12... maybe later. It all depends on who that "top QB" might be. If it's anyone, but Trubs, then wouldn't you feel a little better, even good, about him being there at least at 12?
IF we love a QB, but love MG more, then the above still applies.
IF we really like a QB, but love MG, then we have to be prepared to take some risk that we won't land the QB. If we don't, I doubt we'll ever know who we didn't land.
Go with your brain... go with your "hate"... try decaf...

I might take the Titans deal if it was really a possibility. But I'd be surprised if we did. And if we didn't help pissed off or you're going to be if Trubisky falls to 12, just in case the Jets want one of the other also-rans, or below assuming the Browns didn't really want him?

I'll put my GM hat on for a second. If Mitch is still on the board @ #5, I pull the trigger on a trade up, as long as the asking price isn't much more than one of our seconds (not #33). Trading up any higher than that will cost too much, and I have a feeling the teams in the 2-4 slots wouldn't be too keen on moving down to #12.
As Sashi said in his presser- they're starting to get a feeling what teams drafting ahead of #12 might be thinking. And he acknowledged there's always the chance a team might draft a player you don't expect them to.
So yeah Tour- the only sure way to get both Myles and Mitch is to trade up to #2- I'm against that scenario, and it's not rocket science to opine that move isn't in Sashi's playbook either.

Yeah I know. But in the Browns case, they're going to get extorted for the qb premium- the only reason I could see Cleveland wanting to move up.

i just don't get the feeling the browns are going to move up very far, if they do at all. Sashi even said, they like having lots of draft picks in the first few rounds and know they need to still add lots of talent to this roster. This puts them in a great spot to do such a thing. Even though they are willing to move up, it would have to be for the right price. I'm not sure they are going to surrender the farm for to do it, especially when they need help in lots of places. Personally, I would love to see them go MG, Defense again at 12 and 33 and then move up to grab a qb with 52. I really think that only 2 of those guys are going in the first round.
-
Hopefully we are in the spot where we feel good about more than just one QB and are unafraid to wait it out. Or we just think 2018 looks far better and don't jump for anyone this year. Build the D and we would be just about ready to drop in a QB next year who would not have to match scores with every possession. I like Rosen a lot but did not see enough of Darnold to offer any opinion. But most pickers have him rated better than Rosen, who looked better as a pure passer to me than anyone this year. Just MO.

We had one good Rosen in Cleveland sports. Al Rosen.
And I thought he was in the Baseball HOF, but perhaps not.

How many QBs in the 1st is going to depend on when the first is taken.
If the Jets kick it off at #6, they could trigger a run. If on the other hand a couple QB needy teams trade down early with teams eager for D help, then maybe we do at 12... and possibly trigger a mid-round run. Either run could easily produce four taken.
But if we pass on a passer at 12, then, yeah, one or two... with maybe a third late in a trade up to secure that "valuable" 5th-year option.

The "Run" could start earlier than that. In theory, you could have 3 QBs taken by pick #6. It could happen, not that I predict that it will...but, it could.

i just heard on the radio that there have been discussions about the 9ers taking Watson at 2 which would be hilarious and great for the Browns.

Assume this happens. Then come Da Bears. While they have Glennon, do they think he is QB of the future? Still don't count them out of the QB derby.
While it may be 10% that Jags are interested in a QB...you just never know.

Smoke to generate a high powered trade down by a QB needy team like the JETS or Bills. SF needs to do what we did last year, trade down to get a lot more picks in the future.

Not to mention the Jags GM saying yesterday that they've not yet made the decision on whether to exercise their 5th-year option on Bortles...
