Or, we TRADE Gordon for a kicker!

Of all the QBs we could have taken, I’m glad we took Mayfield. He’s going to be a star in the NFL, and the only real knock against him (as Shooter pointed out) is his height. If he was 6’3” tall he’d easily be the first QB off the board for most teams.

I was not for taking a QB, but, as I said to my buddy John that I linked in chat, if we took o…[Read more]

For me, it’s Barkley all day. I do believe he is a generational type talent and the majority of games in the NFL are won by scoring more than 23.1 points per game. The low hanging fruit is scoring, and I think Barkley makes the most sense as a result (in addition to him being the BPA).

Soup, I agree if Dorsey feels about a QB in this draft the way I felt about Mahomes. I do not feel the same about a QB in this draft class as I did about Mahomes, so to me, anyone is this draft is the guy someone else (the Chiefs) didn’t want.

As such, I would take the BPAs.

I’ve got know idea what we will do, guessing that is folly. I’m putting out what I think we should do (and why) for posterity’s sake. We could (hypothetically) trade the first pick for magic beans. That doesn’t mean it was the right thing to do (but congratulations if you guessed that was what they’d do).

With that combination of size, athleticism, arm strength and intelligence, I’m all in on Allen. He’s been steadily improving over the off season, and I am completely convinced that he will be the next “how did everyone miss this, all the signs were there” once in a generation type QB prospect. I pegged him early on as a prospect to watch, now I’m…[Read more]

In the latest episode of “Please God, don’t let them send me to Cleveland…”, the role of Jimmy Garoppolo will now be played by Alex Smith.

Check out bullet point #2.

I think one of the things that I have always preached is knowing market sentiment. Take Derek Carr. The Raiders took Khalil Mack while QBs Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater came off the board. If he was “their guy” should they have taken him at #5? I think the argument could be made, based on his productivity, that taking Carr would not have…[Read more]

We’ve been rebuilding inside out for years. I love Joe and what he has given to the Browns, but the fact of the matter is you can build a sufficient line with 2nd and 3rd day talent. We need skill players.

Please explain “highest ceiling” in regards to a QB. I’ve yet to find someone who can explain what this means.

It means that if you take the mental aspect out of the game, Allen’s physical attributes are superior to the other QBs in his draft class such that, if all three were mentally equivalent, Allen would be the best based on his physi…[Read more]

None of them is an Andy Luck type prospect.

Andrew Luck wasn’t an Andrew Luck type prospect. How did Andrew Luck’s team finish this season? How about last season? How about 2015? Two 8-8 finishes and a 4-12 season this year. Better than we’ve had in Cleveland? Sure. But how about compared to other “not Andrew Luck type prospects like” Derek…[Read more]

Here’s why I like this kid:

Unlike Rosen who wants to end up in a good situation, Allen believes he is the answer. This guy has a serious chip on his shoulder. He has worked, and will work, to prove that he is not nothing.

The plays this kid makes in a pro style offense are just obscene.

See with Allen I think Kizer and him are very similar physical skill set. Allan has a much better release but has the same sailing throws Kizer does when he misses.

I’ve seen just about every QB sail a throw from time to time. It’s not something that jumped out at me when watching his film. Do you have some specific examples or a game where it…[Read more]

My apologies if you thought I was talking down to you. I wasn’t. I view the site as friends at a bar. For the record if we were going to compare our overall intelligence — you’d be Harvard and I’d be a GED. Quite frankly I’ve dealt with few people as intelligent as you in my lifetime.

My apologies for reading into that an inflection that wasn…[Read more]

DawgStyle: how much of Wentz do you see in Allan in any category? As I am starting to read research and watch his tapes he kind of reminds me of Wentz….maybe he won’t be NFL MVP candidate in year 2 but not every body gets it THAT right …even me. :p

Physically, they’re very comparable. Allen has a stronger arm than Wentz. Wentz is a more funda…[Read more]
