How Can/Will The Browns Blow It? Or Not?
-
So.....the real question on the Board for Browns fans....who now have endured like 18 years of the effluvia that has been Browns personnel departments is:
How will the Browns Blow this draft? That is what we all believe. Admit it.
But....in addition to that question.....I will allow you all to take the side that we all have hoped we could say for a generation now:
How will the Browns nail this draft?
So....give your answer. What 2-3 moves can the Browns make to (typically) Fuhuck this thing up completely. Or, what can they do to (finally) hit draft pay dirt?

1. Drafting Allen as their future QB
2. Trading down from the #1 pick to accumulate more picks
3. Letting Hue, Jimmah or another random homeless person override Dorsey when making draft picks.
-
Allen, Mayfield or Barkley at all would be blowing it.
Not? Rosen, then BPA at 4 unless the trade down is minor and they can secure Ward a few pics later.
Also Benkert mid/late round would be hot.

Idk. I can meet you halfway by saying that taking Barkley #1 overall - at the expense of drafting Darnold or Rosen - would be a waste, but a Rosen/Darnold @ #1 and Barkley @ #4 would be a pretty good first round in my book. Barkley is a beast of a RB

Barkley up the middle would replace Metcalf up the middle.

I see Chubb off the board at 2. so #1-QB..#4 am out unless Bills can give me #6 Colts or #9 49ers. with the Bills #12 pick
(bills #22 to far to slide back) we come out with Mikah or Ward (both a need) and LT big Mike McGlinchey (higher upside the S. Coleman imo)

I’ve been dreading this question for weeks?
i just keep thinking about Hue taking Corey Coleman and passing on blue chip players again. Bosa & Elliot we’re ours for the taking. It’s water under the bridge now but still painful to see Wentz, Goff, Prescott and Deshaun Watson not only starting, but having success.
Im praying for a franchise QB at #1 as long as it’s not Mayfield (Manziel 2.0) I do realize this class is not as good as previous years but with the new rookie contracts at least teams don’t need to break the bank.
If what Hue says is true then whomever they chose won’t be starting right away so why not take Josh Allen at number 1 and Bradley Chubb at number 4
i could handle Darnold and Barkley also.
whatever happens, I pray Dorsey doesn’t trade back to aquire future picks! It hasn’t worked.
Best Players available are unarguably; Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chub, Quentin Nelson, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and a few others who could make an impact right away.
When looking at the last few drafts, I actually would draft Barkley, Chub and Lamar Jackson even tho I don’t think Browns personnel is capable of developing a guy who could definitely be this years Deshaun Watson.
So realistically I think (providing they don’t make a trade) at #1 Darnold, at # 4 Chubb
Dont Blow it Dorsey

The Browns WILL blow this draft just as they blew last year's draft, and pretty much every draft since V 2.0 in 1999.
The Browns, and their fans, are vomitously opposed, repelled and disoriented by the thought of taking playmakers, more importantly, players who make a difference on the field. Joe Thomas was perhaps the biggest example of how to waste a draft pick because for all he supposedly was, he didn't demonstrably make the Browns better.
Garrett? never will be a difference maker. Coleman? Had the chance to help us beat the Steelers and he dropped the pass. Does it not ever dawn on you guys that the Browns never are in a highlight film where one of our players saved the day....made the winning score.....stopped the opposition from winning? Never............. NEVER. All you dickheads ever do is create fantasy narratives in which our players are so far superior, that they are doing things on the field that, while not producing points and wins, are doing things that in the long run that everyone else is just too dumb to understand.
Barkley is the pick of this draft. The Browns have the ability to get him, And the QB they want.
Hue wants Black Lamarkenton.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

LOL! Tom, has it dawned on you that there would not be any such highlight when you have zero wins in a season and the only such highlight for the 1-15 season was Josh Lambo's miss of the winning FG for the Chargers in 2016?

How could they blow it? They could trade out of #1 and let someone else have their QB pick of the litter. And then pick a bum at #22. ORrrrr...they could pick Manziel 2.0 and he turns out to be a Socky jerk. ORrrr they take Allen and he turns out to be Derrick Anderson, throwing at player's feet when they're crossing the field 5 yards in front of him.
Other side of coin: They could pick the best QB (Rosen, Darnold) and stay put and pick Chubb (this covers for Garrett...and we get a RB later) ORrrr....they can go ahead and pick Barkley at 4 so that the Ghoul doesn't come out spitting venom. ( I won't be able to greatly fault a Barkley choice at 4 because our offense has been so lousy ).
Excuse me, moderators, why can't we say the word Socky? (as in kocky).

If the Browns could just draft a player like the legend that is Paxton Lynch.

Well, they have..............Manziel, Frye, Hogan, Kizer, Quinn, oops............... I forgot................. Lynch is still playing in the NFL.

Yes, this is what I am talking about. They have been in position many times to win, but this drafting philosophy of not taking play makers because they are too expensive for our sinsibility, or because they were taken with trade down asset addition,,,,,,you basically have schidt players. I expect the same kind of draft to save Haslam money.

And who here would not LOVE to be in that position?

On poorly run franchises: Colin Cowherd thinks the Browns are doing it again this draft-handing Darnold to the Giants.

Blow it
#1 - Josh Allen or a non QB would tell me all I need to know about John Dorsey
Nail it
#4 - The dream scenario is after we’ve taken our QB that the Giants stand pat and then take Barkley or Chubb. Then you got the Jets taking a QB so I think Buffalo then reach out to Denver. If Elway wants one of the QBs left this high then he’s going to have to come to #4 because Buffalo certainly will if they’ve been rejected by Denver. We could trade back just one spot and still get the player we’d have taken at #4 and pick up the third rounder we lost in the Tyrod trade. Even then who’s to say the QB Denver takes at #4 is the guy Buffalo wanted? One of Mayfield or Allen will almost certainly be left even after three QB’s have gone so we could trade back again with Buffalo gaining two firsts plus more from them and a third from Denver #4 in two trades that still see us picking at #12. This would be the dream for a 1-31 team.

Well, let's face it. We could "blow it", but we really could use some LUCK too. Injuries, chemistry, even Josh Gordon staying straight....we need some things to go our darn way. Heck, even a large part of the draft is freaking luck. So am I afraid we're going to blow it? Sure. We have a TON of draft capital, and I've maintained over the past few months that our GM simply won't be able to resist trading down from 4. It could work out, but suffice to say we Browns fans haven't exactly been rewarded with trading down all that often. Sure, we get some killer picks, but we haven't gotten those blue chip guys we need to make plays.
We have a new front office, and that gives me hope. We have a veteran QB who protects the ball and works his butt off. We need our 2nd year players to "make the leap", something that has largely eluded us. We also need Josh Gordon on the field. We saw glimpses of his greatness last year, and lord knows what he can do with a full season of training and practicing with the team. The guy looks like Kong but runs a 4.4.
I am very hopeful. After such a miserable season, I'm excited to think about possibly winning multiple games and actually having FUN watching my beloved team. Remember fun? I mean, on paper this isn't a bad team at all. How crazy is THAT? After going winless, I would never have thought I'd be thinking about winning 6 games or so. And I totally think that's possible. We could win more, or even less, but I'm excited to actually SEE what we do. We did well (not great, but well IMO) in free agency, and now it's time for the draft.
