    Well Dan Patrick AND Mel Kiper both came out today and predicted the Browns will take D. Watson with the 1st pick....

    My guess(and prayer) is that this is a smoke screen.....as Shashi and Depo are pretty tight lipped so far....so doubt they would show their hand now.....UNLESS////

    1) They are fishing for a trade......(which would suck)....OR...

    2) It's true and they plan to draft him(at #1).....(which would suck worse)....

    ...thoughts?

    just bullshit...basically. Nobody is moving up to #1 in this draft and there's no way this staff can be that bad.

    one day it was Geno Smith. The next day it was Kirk Cousins. The Titanic had floating devices. They did not work. but maybe we can float on one till Day 3? Day 2? ok maybe day 1?

    The issue is they want him at 12.....but......are afraid the Jets will take him.....THEN, they will have missed their QB, when they coulda had him...

    This is something I brought up a week or 2 ago and said ...."if they see one they like at 12, they better tap him at 1 or risk losing their QB".......And if he ISNT worth the grab at one....then he's not worth 12 either......(only because he's a QB)

    Ridiculous. Not a chance that the Browns take him with the first overall pick. If another NFL franchise believes that this will happen, please pass me whatever you're smoking.

    Watson 1 overall is absurd. Trading out of one without it being RG3 style would be absurd. Anything but Garrett is close to absurd.

    Garrett,Mitch,Watson all had, Combine Interview,Private Workout & on Campus Workout with Browns. Only teams that have talked to Garrett on campus Only was-49'ers-Bears & Jags. No damn fool including us is taking any QB #1. giving the farm to get above Jets..Ridiculous for any of these QB's..damn Gip see what you started 😉

    The Browns had a first round grade on Kessler last year, there's no way they're giving up on him after one year. Especially after he performed relatively well given his circumstances.

    This is likely a smokescreen to use as bait for a team in love with Watson. Bill Buchanan, the guy who started this whole Browns taking Watson at #1 nonsense is the same guy who suggested the Browns should trade for Osweiler to acquire a second rounder.

    This whole scenario perhaps gives credence to Tony Grossi's accusation that Buchanan is working for the Browns.

    It's April, certainly these things are going to only become more commonplace.

    My first reaction to drafting Watson at #1 would be to put my season Tix on EBay after cleaning up my puke.

    Never heard they had a first round grade on Cody. Why would they wait till the third round if they graded him so high.

    As much as I hate all the firings and constant turnover, if this regime takes Watson at 1 I'll be leading the "fire sashi" bandwagon.

    Sooo they're doing what you wanted them to do. But you're complaining about it anyway lol.

    FTR I'd be mad about this too. But I didn't just say "if you want a QB, you better get him at #1!!!" recently.

    None of us really know who the Browns will take until the draft starts Thursday, 4/27/17.

    Um,,,I never said I "wanted" them to do it....and Ive said 1000 times I dont want a QB in the 1st....

    Reading comprehension and interpretation is not your strong suit.....I was referring to draft strategy in general terms....and saying if "your QB" is there.....dont pass on him or expect him to be there later.....(and I also said I dont think "the guy" is there)

    Because everyone without a Harvard brain had him as a 5th rounder at best. Some people outsmart themselves and unfortunately last year's draft might just prove they are capable of doing it again in 2017 by NOT taking the obvious "no-brainer" in Garrett. Tar n feathers anyone?! 🥷 :ph34r:

    Mud-the closer we get to the draft the closer I get to your feelings about these clowns in the FO. They are gonna fuck it up again.
