Do the same with the 2014 draft.....and see how interesting that would be at this point.

I woulda picked Aaron Donald instead of Gilbert and Derek Carr instead of Manziel and it would be glorious to look back on.

See this Gip^^ were not reinventing the wheel here.Most fans 2nd opinion there teams draft in a dead period..If ya think Barkley & B.Chubb & Mason Rudolph makes the Browns better now?

For shits and giggles, I will see where my Browns mock draft guys went ... But screw these guys:

Zombo's Mock Cleveland Brown Draft (WWZD)

1.1 Sam Darnold, QB, USC

Went two spots later to the NYJ. In Dorsey (and Baker) we trust!

1.4 Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn St.

Off the board at #2 to Giants, him being there at #4 was just a boy and his dream...

2.1 (Trade Duke Johnson to move up into late first round) Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa

Went Pick 45 to Green Bay in the second round ... So, we got a much higher-rated corner and we kept Duke!

2.2  Sam Hubbard, DE,  Ohio St

Went Pick #77 to Cross State Rival Bungles ... Eh, we love Ogbah ... and we got that Miami dude.

2.3 Brian O'Neill, OT, Pitt

Went pick #62 to Vikings. We got a more versatile guy at #33 ... Dorsey is kicking my butt.

4 Equannimous St. Brown, WR, ND

Went Undrafted ... Signed by Packers, we steal Calloway in 4th round ... Dorsey has officially put me to shame.

See this Gip^^ were not reinventing the wheel here.Most fans 2nd opinion there teams draft in a dead period..If ya think Barkley & B.Chubb & Mason Rudolph makes the Browns better now into future?

It is a perfectly valid idea for a thread.....as it is perfectly valid to argue about the usefulness of such an exercise.  Fair to say?  Aren't we all about point/counterpoint here?

@the-gipper said:

Analyzing the draft is fine.  But I don't see where the thrust of this thread does that.  It just seems to want to second guess the draft.   Isn't that what it asks?  Who would you have taken instead of whom we did take?  Or, am I reading this all wrong?

So spend six months speculating on the draft and running mock drafts and dissecting prospects ... but don't come in here after you've got to know the Browns news players and look back on the draft?

See my first post in the thread ... but why criticize someone that wants to further analyze the draft?

You have no problem acting like a banana basket ....as you are now, when you think something is irrelevant.   Or to hijack any thread if you so choose. Not surprising though, since you have sworn your hypocritic oath.

There are a million other Browns related things to hash....no need for a rehash of the draft. 

Go back 5 years and redo that one.....it would be a better, more interesting....if useless geture.

Oh yeah former and current BROWNS players ' favorite  hash reciepes.

@mjp28 said:

Because it's April 7, 2018 what other spicy BROWNS stuff is out there to rehash?

The INDIANS bullpen is in disarray since Miller has been out plus do they miss Shaw? (YES!) The CAVS can sweep Toronto -and- Cinco de Mayo is over!

4 Equannimous St. Brown, WR, ND

Went Undrafted ... Signed by Packers, we steal Calloway in 4th round ... Dorsey has officially put me to shame.

Don't be so hard on yourself... Packers drafted him with a Compensatory pick in the 6th, so you only reached by two rounds. Some here had us taking him in the 2nd.

I love your thread idea, but if we didn't move up in the 4th to pick Calloway, we'd still have an extra 6th!

But I understand, your thread your rules.

But Dorsey did, without your (if) approval.. I get your thought but GM's trade picks.Just trying to keep it real with the pick #'s we had. Avoids the 2014 Browns Draft. If we never trade #4(Sammy Watkins/Khalil Mack) down to #9 to Vikings we never move up to #8 for Justin Gilbert? or if we sit at pick #26 Eagles pick we never go up to #22 for Johnny Manziel? Here's to hoping Calloway left his baggage & a the extra pick somewhere in Florida..  

@gumby73 said:

sorry,them's the rules..Dorsey traded yours & Jimbo's pick #178..your only pick options are at #1,4,33,35,67,105,150,175,188..Jimbo you have no #114 or #178 pick..Editable & Others have till full Camp in June to enter their choices..have not forgot, but I myself have some work to do also

Rosen or Darnold at 1....

try to slide down a few picks and still take Ward next....and if he were gone after we slid down just take minkah instead

guice instead of Chubb...

no calloway.....

Just noticed, If you're not moving up in round 4 to pick Callaway, you should have an extra 6th round pick (#178 overall).

You still have one more pick to make!

@tour2ma said:

lol... I understand (and share) your reservations about the comapny, but the way the draft fell there should be a far amount of commonality at a few picks, e.g., J.Jackson, Reid and Hurst.

Damn, my draft looks a lot like Tour2ma's and Gumby's.  Hmmm maybe I'll change it up a bit later to be a bit different.
