The turn around starts now!

I agree London. I just think that helps the games be closer... not necessarily winning 'em for us.
Certainly cause for positivity. The Browns are actually strong in a couple of areas this year, which we haven't been able to claim for a while. But does it get us even six wins this year? I'm not confident.

1] Don't underestimate the value of our first decent K since Phil Dawson. That's at least another 2 wins right there..
2] If Alex Smith can get the Chiefs to the playoffs, Kessler can get the Browns to 5-11. Remember, the Chiefs [now] have a much worse starting line than Cleveland.. Chiefs were overall 14th [in PFF] last year with all their starters slightly above average.. the Lake Wobegone of OL's.

What hiatus?
The Browns let all the teams that needed a QB take them on day 1 then they went back to NE. The Browns were the last team with a definite need at a QB for the future. The Browns wanted Jimmy dont kid yourself, but they tried strong arming the Patriots to get Jimmy. I dont know what they offered, but it must have been a paltry sum.
Post draft, Sashi or Jackson said that they really liked Watson. If they really liked Watson then why did they trade with Houston and let them take him in a cutthroat league? The answer is that they didnt like him and are still playing everyone with smoke and mirrors.
Because they lie. They didn't really like Watson, but they won't say that. None of these QBs they passed on floated their boat: Wentz, Watson, Mahomes. They may have like Goff, but he was gone, and so was Trubisky. They were willing to take Kizer with a 2d rounder, and Kessler with a 3rd rounder....but I am of the opinion that they think neither is their "franchise" guy. They are just willing to roll with them at this point and see if they can catch a 7 instead of snake eyes.
Oh! And on Garropolo...they may have had some interest....with their #52 pick. Just like I said, I and apparently they were not willing to give up more than that for him. If they had made that deal, that would have been about right. NE/BB thinks they should have gotten more. Well, they didn't...and now, unless they make a reasonable trade, they will lose HIM to FA....just like all the other mediocre backup QBs they have had there.

Huejax guy with the highest upside was MaHolmes. KC burnt them moving up to #10(bills). Did we talk to Bills? probably, but not in KC's pick volume. Part 2 of a re-boot. Did Huejax get squeezed again at QB for picks? maybe. Watson clearly was not in picture. Proof--We gained a 1st at next years QB retaining ammo as we move to Houston's pick. Maholmes & Howard vs Kizer & Nujoku..enjoy

If you believe the adage that the game is won and lost at the line of scrimmage, I think the Browns have shored up immense talent upgrades at both sides of the line and there is real potential for optimism there.
However, the team still lacks playmakers. No real QB. No #1 receiver. And a secondary that should only scare fans of the Cleveland Browns.
We have a long way to go yet before I'd be comfortable predicting a real turnaround.
Huejax also said we were letting our QB come to us... an aproach the Bears' GM could learn from...

There are no shortcuts. We are building methodically with high probability picks at impact positions. We shuffled our QB deck with two new cards. If after playing 16 hands this Fall we want to refreshen the deck, we are in a position to do so.
