Who Are You Taking For Browns at #2?

FY56

You all think Prime Time is gonna let his kid play here???????

He’ll demand a trade…or he’ll inform Berry beforehand he ain’t goin to Cleveland, so don’t bother.

It’s probably best anyway. Dad will be a distraction. We don’t need any more distractions.

Fields played in a run-heavy offense with elements of the QB centric run sprinkled in similar to some of the designs I broke down when Brissett was our starting QB.

To say that Fields and Watson are one in the same is short-sighted.

Well, it's sounding like Pittsburgh is leaning more toward keeping Fields so anyone worrying about Fields coming here doesn't have to. That was a waste of a discussion I dedicated way too many paragraphs to.

Are there any available veteran QBs that can help this team? The current roster/situation here isn't exactly a recruiting attraction. What about our Cousin Vinny? Testaverde is only 61 years old but he doesn't look a day over 51...

I like Aiden O’Connell here next year. If the Raiders (very possible) go QB he’s on the market.

Not a big splash I know but let’s keep it real given our circumstances

Is he a QB who stands in the pocket, reads defenses and goes through progressions well, or is he someone who tends to be a one read then run guy?

Most are, just depends on how fast/well they do it.

Minshew? Cousins? Darnold?

Add in Wentz, Flacco, Brissett...

And any of them would be an improvement over the current QB room.

Those are options. I like the Cousins idea best if he's willing to park his career in Cleveland. As likable as Minshew is - last year wasn't one of his better years with 9 TD Passes and 10 INTs largely due to the surrounding talent. That said, the Raiders beat the Browns so this doesn't offer him much more. Darnold will probably have a few choices after last year; but this offense won't have the same toys for the QB. In the playoffs, we saw how bad he can be without pass pro - which I fear coming here would be like.

You never know though. I know I don't...

I really like this evaluator, and he does a good job comparing Ward vs Sanders and why Sanders is the better QB and better fit for Stefanski.

I agree. I'd want Sanders.

.....and Sanders isn't going to 'fall' in round 1. Even if he got past picks 1 & 2, he'd go very soon after.

There may be some concerns about his long term durability - he had a fractured back at one point, numbness in extremities, teams will check him out physically - with his accuracy and qb smarts, he might drop a bit, but surely will still go that high unless a physical shows a problem with that.

Agreed! And I also hope we take Sanders if TN doesn't. Is it really going to be that easy for us though?

I've heard a rumor Pittsburgh is very interested in trading up with TN to get him. I think that came from Mike Greenberg or someone on ESPN. That rumor could very well reach Berea and entice the Browns to try to trade up for him.

Oooo...we hate the Steelers! And our guys just love to call the bet and raise don't they.

Ya know, most of the draft gurus think that Ward is going to be taken before Sanders....and that includes teams trading up to #1.

I'm seeing a lot of people put Ward as the 1st QB in the mock drafts - like the one I shared had the Giants taking Ward after TN took Carter and the Browns took Hunter. They wouldn't do that if they weren't hearing it or reading it or actually thinking it. We'll see my man!

Oh Tom, you know this is the silly season when they float a lot of misdirecting rumors out there to throw off the competition.?

All I will say is Travis Hunter on one side and Jeudy on the other.... appeals to me big... There aren't many opportunities to get a pairing like that...roll with Flacco and Pickett this year... get our guy next year?.... ,,,, Tough choice....

He'll be tempting for a lot of teams. BPA - he's #1 overall IMO. How many times is 1 player the best WR and one of the best corners in a draft? A lot of QBs in this league want a weapon like Hunter.

You know BB would be all over that pick... Would love to to see 2 way players merge back into the league... it makes the game fun...
