    My only takeaway; do NFL scouts really use exclamation points that much?

    QB1 is Paxton Lynch, QB2 is Carson Wentz & QB3 is Jared Goff. You already know which one I want & now that the Browns traded out of the #2 slot, they’re not going to get him. If we’re lucky, we’ll get Lynch at #32.

    And by the way . . . I totally disagree with the arm strength comparison between Goff and Wentz . . . Wentz’s are is much stronger than Goff’s. The ball shoots out of Wentz’s hand like a rifle shot. Lynch has the strongest arm of all QB’s in this draft, but he’s definitely a project.

    Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!

    Just for fun, I’ll stick my neck out there. I’d take:

    QB2
    QB3
    QB1

    Thought the write-up on QB1 was enamored with the guys running ability too much. His comments on the passing ability were mostly about screen passes. Give me a passer that can run, not a runner that can pass.

    QB 2 and 3 were closer, but the overall summary for QB3 scared me off when they say “has the arm to make all the throws”. If the guy has a good enough arm, they call it a strong arm. If not, they say “he can make all the throws”.

    that’s just my 2 cents after a quick read. Could be making myself look pretty silly when Ice reveals who these guys are.

    The best thing I read in this was this line: “More than a mobile Quarterback but not a running QB.”

    That is music to my ears. I’ve long made the point that there is a huge difference between a mobile QB and a running QB. Running QB’s don’t win in the NFL. They never have and they never will. Yet year after year, especially in recent years, teams keep taking them and I have no idea why they keep doing it.

    Give me a QB whose #1,2,3, and maybe even 4th primary focus is downfield and I’m happy as hell. Especially if that QB can move in the pocket, escape pressure, and if need be in a last ditch effort after a play has completely broken down, make plays with his legs.

    I’ll take that all day.

    Agree with that Shooter. I don’t mind one that’s mobile in the pocket or moves his launch point but I don’t want a QB that runs for 800 yards a season.

    Since I am unable to follow the draft as closely as others here, let me ask you a question: What happened with Lynch? I recall him being the most common pick to go #1 overall back during the season, and now he’s in the conversation at 32. Did he get hurt, have some bad games, punch somebody’s pet? Or is it just general draft speculation?

    Based off those summaries I’d do 2, 3, 1

    Based off my eyes I’d do:

    Goff
    Lynch
    Wentz

    Freedom!!!

    Good question. Today speculation has arisen that he may free fall, some claim there are maturity issues there. This is just draft day speculation though so it’s tough to assign any credibility to it.

    I think it’s a combination of things . . . for starters, he really needs to work on taking snaps from center, he also didn’t make pre-snap reads – the coaches did that from the sideline. He’s the rawest of those considered the top four at the position.

    Sashi’s answer was loud and clear. None of the above. You don’t just grab a QB to grab a QB (like every past Browns regime has done). These guys are waiting for a QB that calls to them. Lets hope it’s in this draft.
