nflDraftBuzz has him as the 4th rated QB in the draft.

I'm going to say what I always say when we need to draft a QB.  I want the tallest drink of water with the strongest arm.

Beck is tall.  And I loved Jeff Beck.  

I'm gonna borrow some Scorpions lyrics here - "there's no one like you"

Seeing the field well & decision making is make or break though...

Thoughts on the musician Beck?

Jeff?  I never saw him perform live and in person.  Live at Ronnie Scotts is tremendous.  I don't know if anyone was is equal at the guitar.  Certainly, nobody could sound like him.  

Agreed about Flacco without the interceptions.  I don't really need my QB to be really athletic.  Just tall, smart, strong arm, accurate and a good QB sneaker.  Is that asking for too much?  lol

edit:  I should add that I DO like the song Loser by Beck.

In a perfect world we’d have a young Joe Flacco with more athleticism and less propensity for head scratching interceptions.

Quinn Ewers is a name mentioned as a possible non-first round QB draft pick for the Browns in this thread, he's playing right now vs Arizona State in the CFP Quarterfinal. 

He has one more year of eligibility, but with Arch Manning behind him, the Longhorns might have to push Ewers aside for the highly-touted Manning. 

Ewers could transfer for his last season, like Will Howard did when he left Kansas State to go to Ohio State, or he could just declare for the NFL Draft. 

Hard pass.  I'd rather take the Arizona QB.

Well if reports are true he's been offered $6 mil to transfer, that's more than he makes as a rookie QB in the NFL by far isn't it?

Probably Aggies!  Has anyone seen how much time rookie QB Caleb Williams has to throw in Chicago?  He looks like he's had as much fun as DTR.   

We need a FO that knows what it's doing in this draft; because that garbage I typed above gave me the hee-bee-gee-bees.

Easily. 

@dutch-oven said:

Ooh, good point. 

Got to think he's going to declare then.

Transfer portal closed on Dec 28 and so it's either come back or go pro. Or enter the next transfer portal time April 16-25, but this means missing important spring football practice with a new team.

That’s fair.  I do see an NFL arm and what appears to be some ability to read a defense and use his arm first from the pocket. 
 

Please no Allar.  Please I’ve seen enough of this guy 

Yes Allar is severely overrated.. 2nd stringer at best..

@texasag1969 said:

I think the Texas A&M defense just exposed his weakness, a tendency to overplay his hand under extreme pressure. 3 interceptions led to a runover in the 2nd half outscored 31-7 from a comfortable 17-7 halftime lead. The higher the pressure the greater the collapse.

I’m mildly intrigued by Garrett Nussmeier.  I think it will take a first round pick and I also think he’s going to fly up the board come February

Cam Ward too.

NO THANKS to Drew Allar

After that I’d be more inclined to do what many people want stock the cupboard on the Oline.

I definitely want a RB this is very deep class - maybe Dylan Sampson Tenn. 

if we are rebuilding and we don’t take a QB this draft we need to make sure we have enough picks so we can pull the trigger on a move up in 2026 to get our guy. 

Yep, I say go for players to help the team get better in the draft. JW looks like he has matured into a real NFL QB. Let's just see how this plays out the rest of the year. He's only 30 years old. Certainly did not look over the hill. And he's plenty big enough to take the hits and get the QB sneaks at 6'4" 230 lbs.

@dutch-oven said:

Well we Ohio State fans will see plenty of him next Saturday.

Or not... he might not play.

@texasag1969 said:

He hurt a knee in the game. Didn't play 2nd half.

Penn State plays Wisconsin tonight on NBC starting at 7:30, if any of you crazy kids want to check out PSU's Drew Allar, who might be in play for the Browns next draft at QB.

Well Tyler Warren, TE Penn St., was really impressive today against USC. Just a name to keep in mind during the draft at some point. Very athletic guy who gets moved all over the field, though TE seems to be his destination in the NFL.

I ilke Dippre, the TE at Bama.  Under rated.  he will be a solid pro TE.

Miami's Cam Ward is on ESPN if he tickles your fancy at QB, against Florida State right meow .
