Manziel apologizes to Browns Fan (Official Press Release)

If you think Mahomes is the next Rodgers, you take him #1. Im not saying we should do that, I’m just saying if there’s a QB in this draft we feel THAT strongly about, we shouldn’t hesitate.

The issue here is that what I think is not necessarily what is factual. Mahomes could be the next Rodgers. Mahomes could be the greatest QB to ever play.…[Read more]

Interesting thought. I’m not opposed to trading up because this team has enough youth, we need more high end talent. However, I wouldn’t touch next years 1st round pick. The most optimistic fans would estimate that to be at 10-12. No way to I use that to move up to the mid teens this year.

I’m not saying you do, but if you thought Mahomes II was…[Read more]

My biggest concern with your Mahomes II strategy actually has nothing to do with Mahomes II. You’d love to get him at the top of the second, cuz you’d rather have Garrett and Peppers with our 1st two picks. I get that.

My problem is, what happens when a team like the Broncos or Texans or, conceivably, the Steelers, takes him in the back end of…[Read more]

And pass on Braylon Edwards? You must be joking. Besides, with Trent Dilfer holding down the fort we can get a QB like Charlie Frye in the 3rd.

All joking aside, wait a minute, that wasn’t a joke. That’s what we did. Shit.

Anyway, I think there is a QB like that in this draft. I’ve watched a lot of Packers football being stuck in Green Bay…[Read more]

I think if the Browns want Trubisky they can get as they can move back from 1 possibly and certainly have the ammo to move up from 12

I think there is a real possibility that the 49ers, Bears or Jets take Trubisky. If Trubisky is our guy, they (the Browns FO) have to take him at #1. That said, he’s not my guy and there’s no way I draft anyone…[Read more]

reminds me a bit of weeden at ok state…same kind of offence vs the same conference. Though mahomes is a much better athlete. But a big arm qb slinging it in an air raid O…very little of what he did at TX tech will transfer to nfl/

I don’t disagree. There’s a few notable differences as far as I am concerned though, Mahomes didn’t have a phy…[Read more]

I’ll take he guy with 7 takeaways that shores up the back end of the defense at FS. In a scheme like Williams – the idea is to pressure to create sacks or turnovers. Give me the ball hawk every day of the week – as an FYi – I HATE OSU. LOATHE THEM. I’m the farthest thing from a homer possible. The biggest BS thing the NCAA has ever done was put O…[Read more]

While I think that Peppers lacks the elite ball hawking skills of Hooker (despite the fact that Ann Arbor is a whore, see what I did there?), I think his football I.Q., speed, tackling and coverage ability will make him a star at the next level as a Strong Saftey (in my mind Hooker projects to Free Safety). Don’t sleep on his football I.Q. either,…[Read more]

It doesn’t matter what he is. You said Prescott was rated higher so by your logic Brissett was a reach because Prescott was rated 3rd round.

Actually, Jacoby Brissett was rated as a 3-4 round pick and Belichick took him with pick 91 of 98 in the 3rd round of the 2016 NFL draft, so Belichick didn’t reach at all, he took him where he was projected.

Bill Belichick picked Brissett over Prescott so while your argument is sound, it doesn’t hold weight.

We don’t know what Jacoby Brissett is yet. He’s good enough for Belichick to let Garoppolo walk. We don’t know why, but you can’t judge until you have a body of work.

The guys outside like Kiper are absolutely positively no smarter or better t…[Read more]

Good point Ice. I had to think a little bit about DS’s last post, and I guess it just comes down to how you define reach.

Exactly.

If you define it as taking a player too soon based on their projected selection, then you get what DS is saying. I get that, it makes for a good way of evaluating picks because he have concrete numbers to work w…[Read more]

Very true, you don’t draft in a vacuum. However you’ve been referencing the wrong consensus. The 5th round post-combine grade that you refer to is a consensus of people who are not participating in the draft. The consensus you need is a consensus of NFL GM’s who are running the draft rooms. Not even a consensus of scouts is worth much becau…[Read more]

I have this odd feeling Peppers is going to be a major NFL bust. No rhyme or reason behind it.

It’s because you’re a sour puss.

Your flaw though DS is that you are assuming that 3rd round grade people like Kiper give him is the same as what teams have him.

On the contrary, that’s why I specifically referenced the consensus. You don’t draft against yourself. You draft against other teams. Sure, you need to identify talent, but you need to have an understanding of where…[Read more]

The Tom Brady thing you answered yourself. The whole thing is speculation. You can say Brady in the 5th would’ve been a reach because you KNOW he’d be there in the 5th. You can’t say he’s a reach in the 6th because he would’ve been there in the 7th, because you don’t know.

But given what the world knew (or thought it knew at the time) Brady in th…[Read more]

I’m obviously on board with Garrett #1 overall. I’d happily swap out Hooker for Adams or Peppers, but I agree with Safety at #12. I think they’re all future Pro Bowlers (though I think Peppers will be the most dominant). I think I’ve beaten the drum loud enough for Mahomes II (a QB) at 33 the last couple of weeks and I would have no issue with…[Read more]

I hate hate HATE this line of thinking. You only call a player a reach based one of 2 things:

1.) You think the player would’ve been available later. This is 100% subjective. The Browns liked him in the 3rd. We have no way of knowing if any other teams liked him at the next couple of spots. This is based off talking heads own evaluations, not a…[Read more]

Same. Care to give us a brief synopsis?
