    Well I just hope they put their heads together and guess correctly. It still seems to me that the consensus is that Rosen is more ready to play in the NFL that the other three. Of course it also seems like a pretty tight race and if he really is reluctant to play for the Browns that might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I almost always have a clear front runner what it comes to quarterback selection and now that we sit on the top of the pile it's not that clear.

    According to NFL.com it's not close at all, where Darnold is rated the best QB prospect for many years.

    http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-position

    Darnold 7.0

    Trubisky 6.3

    Wentz 6.5

    Winston 6.7

    Mariotta 6.2 (Mod edit) 

    Bortles 6.2

    God Bless a sportswriter that ran out of #2 pencils!! The Darnold showed up in baggy azz shorts & a baseball ball cap visor for rain & could still sell oatmeal in TV commercials😆..Sure (by choice) Sam threw to his uncovered WR core..Does not change the scoreboard for Barkley nor Darnold against the Buckeyes..Rosen seemed to outplay Darnold on the field too in a matchup? Than Rosen put a ball cap on..on the sidelines..Sam seems to be the darling QB pick of many..the safest..but many twisters, till draftday

    darren................So like all prior Browns QB's he is about to be crucified?😛

    As long as he performs a few miracles first ....like win a game 🙂

    Well he will have a good relationship with Mary (Kay).😁 

    EDIT: By orders of the "boss" of the house.

  • Notice, though - UCLA had a list of ...13? offensive players available in the draft, most of them seniors....

    and USC has... two? Ronald Jones II, rb, and Deonte Jones, WR. Playing with a bunch of seniors has to

    be a big advantage.

    Deontay Burnett WR 2018 Senior 0
    Sam Darnold QB 2018 Senior 0
    Rasheem Green DT 2018 Senior 0
    Ronald Jones II RB 2018 Senior 0
    Uchenna Nwosu OLB 2018 Senior 0

    It still might be a 2 horse race...we could still go with Josh The Baptist at QB ......later in the draft we could take Herod Landry

    Mason Rudolph had 3 seniors on OL. 3 at WR..Baker Mayfield had jack bo dilly dilly in seniors at any position..1 OL,1 TE..

  • Seeing what the Colts got from the Jets, moving down from #4 should be a strong consideration. 

    LB Tremaine Edmunds, DL Vita Vea, S Derwin James, CB Denzel Ward, DE Marcus Davenport or OT Mike McGlinchy could be our trade down targets.

    Chubb or Fitzpatrick at 4 and then call it a day.  We already have a RB.  And another one can be drafted in round 2 and be just as productive as history shows.

    Not sure that the Crow, who isn't that good anyway, isn't going to hold us up. And Barkley really might be the best of a good long time. Elite running back really would be nice to have.

    We just signed Carlos Hyde for 5 million per year, Crow is gone.   You don't sign Hyde if you're planning on picking Barkley.   There aren't enough carries for both of them.

    Awesome!!

  • The more I think about it, if Chubb is gone by #4, I think the Browns are trading down. However, if he is there, they stay put and take him at #4. I just don't think the Browns value RBs as highly as the public. Now, I can very well see the Giants by trading JPP, trading down with the Bills where they can draft Davenport or Landry and pick up extra picks. They are switching to a 3-4 and Chubb does not fit that mold, but those guys do and they can be had in that range of 12-22. This actually makes a lot more sense.

    Last Browns guy to the right ... who is this guy? Did Jamie Fox and Romeo Crennel have a love child?

  • Hopefully it's Dorsey who likes D'arnold, and Hue doesnt say he stopped the earth when he threw in the rain, or "It was like a lightning bolt from the heavens when he threw that electric pass in the rain". If he's on the Jimmy/Hue tree but not the Dorsey tree, i'll be livid.

  • I don't know about that. I think you stay at number four. Because quarterbacks are going to be drafted above their level of competence just because of the overvaluing of that position there will probably be somebody worth the first pick in the draft at 4.

  • I can live with picking Darnold at #1, especially knowing that he won't be expected to start right away.  Major downside is that ugly mug, he's not as handsome as Mayfield 😉

  • For some reason I get a little Jared Goff feeling about Sam.

  • I don't like Darnold's face. He looks confused all the time

    He has a face only a mother could love.

    No.....we really do need new, better looking uniforms.    But its OK for what it is.

    What about the rest of this year's group?

  • The more I watch Darnold, the less that I like.

    Yes, these Johnny-Manziel era unis blow. Just thinking Darnold looks the part as a big, strong, dumb AFC North QB. Worked for the other teams in the division.

  • As probably the only guy on this forum who has seen every single snap of both Darnold and Rosen and likes both of them, I'll crudely sum it up as this:

    You want a guy to teach a QB clinic on what a prototypical QB's mechanics should look like.....  Rosen's your dude.

    You want a guy who makes accurate, on time throws from all over the field while looking a bit awkward..... Darnold's the pick. 

    You want a guy who looks like he's into the game 100% of the time no matter the score..... Darnold.

    You want a guy who sometimes looks like he would rather be anywhere but where he is no matter the score..... Rosen. 

    Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.......

     I don't care what their facial expression is. Unless they do the Weeden face after that underhanded flip.
