psst.... only about 4 "vote"... and it's not a vote...

@mudfly said:

Yeah,,,,but thats a secret ballot, which is not how they do it......that would be a "majority".....not a "consensus"....(huge difference)

How do if all 50 vote for the same guy?

@the-gipper said:

Yep, about time to set out the sipping rum.

Well, we have had the "football guys" picking for us before: Dwight Clark, Butch, Heckert, Holmgren, Farmer, Lombardi, Savage.

They all didn't seem to know there asses from a hole in the ground when it came to talent evaluation.

You and I could have done as well just picking from Street and Smiths, or Kiper's list than the so called "football men" did.

So, I guess we need to give these guys a chance. Not great the first year, but we shall see.

lol...

You know I love ya, but if in meeting with individual departments Sashi found there was unanimity around the #1 overall, then there was never a need for a group meeting... and thus never a need for all to "know" what the final decision is. Same is true if in individual session a Department head said, "We slightly prefer Trubs (or Adams or...), but would be happy with Garrett."

Look at this Board... with the exception of a couple who have dug in their heels for Trubs, even ardent Trub-lovers have said they can see MG at #1, but hope we do what's necessary to also land their QB. Point being that there probably has not been a more automatic, consensus #1 pick since Luck.

That said... I've no doubt that Hue and the other Dept. heads have participated in and therefore seen our final board. So more "know" without having been informed. And if I only "know", what easier way to be rid of the endless number of reporters calling me about what we are going to do than to be able to honestly say, "I don't know."

Shashi said....today(on video)....that he and only 3 others already know who we are picking.....so 4 people.....and I know at least 2 of them are Dee and Jimmah......that leaves 2.....and one is Shashi.....so 1 more.....

Shashis words...."the club settled on its choice two weeks ago, and only three or four people in the world know who it will be....

Also....Mike Silver just reported that Hue doesnt even know yet.....soooooooo, less Dee, Jimmy and Shashi.....who's the other....Depo...?

How I wish there was a football guy or football talent evaluator in this apparent consensus group of 4.....

Isnt it strange for a group that relies on "consensus" to know something for 2 weeks, without the rest of the key players in the group not knowing?.....2 weeks?.....and Hue or Berry dont know?....consensus my eye..

If I hold a secret ballot of 50 people. All 50 people vote for the same guy. Then I tell 3 other people who they voted for but that's it. That's what we have here.

The 50 (the people that have an input here) gave their input. That includes Hue. They may know who it is because everyone else voted for the same guy. But as long as Sashi (the vote counter) hasn't told them officially, then they don't technically know.

That's my best guess. Hope that helps.

Mayock coming up at 8pm eastern

#1 Garrett

#5 Tribusky

I'd rather hang tight at #12, not long until we find out...

And I think were jumping too......I know everyone thinks its "due diligence, etc".....but I think were jumping......

And....possibly(maybe?).....for ........Watson.........hahahahaha.....

I know.....save your energy..........Ive gone insane...

@mudfly said:

If we jump for the QB, it was only Haslem.

@tour2ma said:

Ha!...he exists.....So, today the Browns announced they have settled, with certainty, on the guy at #1.....and Hue then came out and said he is not privy to who that might be...

Interesting.....rings in my memory banks from the preseason when they were making cuts w/o Hue's knowledge....So, based upon his words today, he must not be part of that consensus....if they have decided and he doesnt know who....correct?

The group of 4 is now 3......Shashi, Berry and Depo......with Hue waiting and wondering like the rest of us, I guess....

@wargograw said:

But what will we do for the rest of a team? This would mean that we would have used a #2 and #3 last year, and 2 #1s this year just on DEs.

OK, sure, I am all for having a Fearsome Foursome/Doomsday/Purple People Eater/Steel Curtain type defense on this team...but who is going to play the rest of the spots?

Cle - Garrett

SF - Fournette

Chi - Hooker

Jax - OJ Howard

Ten - Corey Davis

NYJ - Adams

LAC - Foster

Car - McCaffrey

Cin - Taco Charlton

Buf - Jon Allen

NO - Charles Harris

Cle - Barnett (odd choice after MG at #1 but thinks good fit for Greg Williams)

Ari - Sol Thomas

Phi - Mike Williams

Ind - Takk McKinley

Bal - Reddick

Was - Dalvin Cook

Ten - Lattimore

TB - N'joku

Den - Ramcyzk

Mia - Lamp

NYG - Bolles

Oak - Jarrad Davis

Hou - Cam Robinson

Sea - Malik McDowell

KC - Conley

Dal - Kevin King

GB - TJ Watt

Pit - Marlon Humphrey

Atl - Engram

IT'S A CONSENSUS PROCESS!

You persist in trying to decide who's "the decider" in 50/50 cases... who wins if he's the "51" in a 51/49 split. And the answer is NO ONE.

That guy does not exist... thus he cannot be named.
