Barkley at #1?
-
You're nuts.
-
In case people forgot, Joe Thomas was taken in the 2007 nfl draft at #3...ahead of the player everyone is comparing Barkley too. I love Barkley, but if the browns take him at one they are crazy. Tell me the last time a RB and not a QB led a team to a super bowl? you can make the argument at #4, fine, but not at #1.

There will be NO drafting of Barkley in the top 5 picks. We need to get over that. No sane team drafts a RB in the top 5 and really not much in the top 10, although 6-10 is more realistic. RB's don't win games. He's a great athlete and showed well and will have a very good career. But he's not going in the top 5.
#1 will be a trade or a defensive player (Fitzpatrick or Chubb)
#4 will be a trade or a QB. (there are 4 QB's and at least one will be available here)

I won't say you're nuts, but if you like a quarterback enough (and I agree with our former coach Eric Mangini) to take him at #4, you don't mess around and just take him #1. With the Bills apparently having the hots to trade into the top 3, Chubb may well be there at #4. and FWIW, it would take the Mother of all Draft pick hauls for Dorsey to trade out of #1.

And damn few Super Bowl wins out of that group. Colts won after James left, and Lewis can thank the other Lewis (Ray) and his defensive pals for his. Just getting to the playoffs isn't the ultimate goal. Ask the Bengals or Vikings about that.

If this is the new CLE Browns, then be the NEW CLE Browns. No more trade down to 22 to pick a QB. No more cuteness at all. Pick your top QB at one and take the BPA, which will be a blue chip player, at four. End of story.

It is not a matter of trading down being the issue though. It is simply we never pick good players when we do. If they feel none of the QB's is a number 1 you trade down. Same at 4. The key is regardless of where you pick you have to hit on the picks.

Obviously. You also have to realize that our drafts for the past 6-8 years have been a complete broken record. Stop trading down and pick BPA. Stop trying to be cute.

There are currently only 6 starting running backs in the NFL that were picked in the first round. And that's a great list and all but not complete without the busts picked up at running back in the top 5.
Please excuse my ignorance but who is gino Bernard.
Ok I looked it up and it was obviously just a typo as you meant gio Bernard cause he was picked 5th in the 2ND ROUND of the draft.

I am totally fine with that, lets just make sure for once is truly is best pick available right? I think we have pretty competent guys to judge that for once. Time will tell.

I still say how a player performs depends on how good or great the team is around him. You can put the best RB on this team last year and his stats won't be as good as it was on the Pats or Eagles. Or even any playoff team for that matter. Hopefully we've improved to the point where the RB we choose will add some value to this team, doesn't matter who he is. I still think if Tim Couch went to a better team (with WRs/TEs to through to and an Oline), he'd probably be a stud today.

Today? He was drafted in 1999. He would be a QB for 19 years?

Carlos Hyde does not mean anything in relation to drafting Barkley, just as Randall and Currie have nothing to do with us drafting a DB/S... or taking Taylor excludes us from taking a QB in the first round.
The Browns are simply filling all of the NEEDS in FA that will allow them to go BPA in the draft and maximize our draft capital. Barkley is the Best Player and playmaker and that's who we'll take #1. No question.

You seem so sure, and that's fine, but why don't you take one of these gentlemen up on their bet?
I'll make you a bet, and it doesn't depend on ANYONE but Barkley. The GMs dont have to do what you want, doesn't have to be on a certain team, etc. I'll bet you a name change on here (I'm not a gambler) that Barkley will NOT be the best player ever like you have said. And since you say he is the best thing you have ever seen, and when he wasn't amazing it wasn't his fault, and was STILL the best, then you should have no issue with this. So he can go to Cleveland, Giants, Patriots, whoever, he will NOT be best ever.
So we got a bet?

If you remember- Po still had hopes for Richardson after he was cut not only by the Colts, but the Raiders too. Based on us picking up Hyde, and Dorsey's track record of not drafting running backs high, I'll put the odds of the Browns drafting Barkley at #1 (zero) and #4 (5%).
For the record, I bet Po a set of my Browns tickets on TR's potential production with the Colts- needless to say he didn't even come close to the bet. I didn't have the heart to collect- too easy.

The fact that he won't even acknowledge the bet offers should tell everyone everything you need to know about PoG.
He's a troll. Sure, not a troll of pathetic Ghoolie standards, but a troll nevertheless. He drones on about the same topic (Joe Haden being released, Kevin Hogan's awesomeness, the legend that is Saquon Barkley) just to get attention, to stir things up.
But hell, once again PoG, I'll bet you $100 that Barkley is not taken #1 overall by the Browns.

Today? He was drafted in 1999. He would be a QB for 19 years?

Tom Brady????
Obviously he wouldn't that good and would more than likely be retired today, but his stats would have been much better. He would be remembered as a quality QB.

In Po's defense, no one can see the future and thus cannot tell who will be the best player ever. I'm not a huge Poe fan, but this is ridiculous.
