Draft starts tomorrow. Thoughts @LeTallecWiz and @The Nomad ?
Wonder what we'll go for at 19th, probably a defensive pick. WR at the 50th.

There's two options here imo IF we stay there - Ridley (WR Alabama) or the Boise State LB
I can see us trading back with the Pats or Panthers and getting an extra pick or two to get Earl Thomas.
Top 5 for me:
1) Josh Allen
2) Sam Darnold
3) The Oklahoma kid
4) Barkley
5) Nelson
Yeah, I think we’ll at least try to set up a trade for Thomas.
I like Vita Vea. If he’s around at 19 we should go for him.
He was one of the 30 visits as well.
Vea at the latest will be gone to SD (they need S or DT).
I think he goes to Washington or the Dolphins (to replace Suh)
I think he's got far more arm talent than Brock. That will help him ...
Arm strength ? or talent ?
Apparently he's not great under pressure so you'd have to wonder how often arm strength will be a factor. Is he going to be launching many 70 yard passes in the NFL?
Yeah, probably will. I’m Guessing we’re going Vander Esch
Barkley will go at 1 surely.
They get their QB 2 picks later
They won't risk it - Barkley either goes #2 or #4
Strength and talent - he has it ... I think he'll go 1 or 6/8 (someone will trade with Colts or Bears to get him)
'In two seasons as a starter, Allen ranked 32nd (2016) and 73rd (2017) in passer rating. '
'Nothing is perfectly predictive, but as you can see, the only others to have below-average final college seasons were Beathard (lost his NFL starting job in 2017), McCown (didn’t become a steady NFL contributor until his 11th season), and Siemian (being replaced as an NFL starter).
And Allen never played against a top ten college pass defence.
I get that he is a real athlete and looks like a QB should, but it appears he has a way to go before being NFL ready. And most say the closest NFL comp for him is Jake Locker.

I was going through some ESPN 'guess who was the better QB' based on stats ... and they were mind blowing how QBs with similar stats in university played out very differently in the pros. I actually think Josh Rosen has the most upside (though with the right offensive mind, Jackson could be great too) but Allen has the tools to be great. He needs time to work with big time coaching, and probably a patient franchise, but I think he has tremendous potential.
That is the smart play.. Thats the play every other team would do.
This is Browns.
Giants are playing a smart game saying they want Chubb rather than Barkley.
Everyone knows Jets want Mayfield.
I expect
#1 Darnold
#2 Barkley (Giants to fuck Browns over)
#3 Mayfield
#4 Chubb (Garrett and Chubb not bad, but dumb move passing on Barkley)
#5 QB TBC
Is there a successful NFL QB who had stats like Allen in college?
No way they'll pick Chubb if Barkley isn't available - they cannot have two highly priced DLs to pay in 4-5 years ... It will kill them.
They'll trade down if they're stuck there ...
#thisisthebrowns!!!
Probably Romo or Dak with that smug faceDo you know the answer?
No way - Romo had really good stats in college!
The new GM is good man - look how they've worked the offseason.
I am hoping for they won't fuck it up ...
But they are going for a QB pick 1!! Even though Giants aren't going for a QB.
Is that smart?
Sorry - if the Giants were not interested in taking a QB, they'd have taken what the Jets offered the COlts! IT was to move to the 6th pick and 2 2nd rounders ... That is GOLD for a roster that needs players ... Their silence leads me to believe they'll pick Eli's successor.
Yep.. However all analysts and reporters saying Mayfield WILL be pick #1
