How'd that work out? Enlighten me on how Hue was the driving force behind not drafting Wentz and Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 There were like 2 dudes on this board who thought Watson was even a decent prospect, would have hated the pick and complained incessantly had we drafted him, now those same dudes are complaining that we didn't....smh. I guess the takeaway is some folks just like to complain? Idk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the takeaway is some folks just like to complain? Idk... I was not high on him. I don't get paid the "big bucks" to figure that out. There were plenty that did like him, draft pundits, average joe's, gm's. It's the collective job of our scouts and FO (and head coach to a certain extent) to bang the drum for talent at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you don't get paid the big bucks but if that's your view, why not just log out for draft season if you have no clue what you're talking about? My point is simply people want to armchair qb every decision and complain either way, which is kinda tedious. (***Not accusing you in particular).

Don't you want someone making the decisions that's getting it right??? We can't keep having swings and misses at the most important position on the field. Yes it is easy to armchair QB. You should fault your team, when the ppl in place are not making the right moves. And you should want someone there that you can rely on to make these important decisions.

MWil23 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I have the shameless posts and mock drafts on the old site to prove my Watson love. Don't make me go there. I'll do it. I have no shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why then, did Hue send a text message to Watson saying "be ready" I know that he has since denied that (a lie I'm sure) but I don't recall him being on board with that trade down. I vaguely remember him wanting Goff, and being ok with the trade down that involved Wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've watch a couple strikes, but it's not like they passed on those dudes and committed to a bum. If I had to guess they'll take their swing in April.

The world champion Astros were just as sorry of a team/franchise as the Browns not too long ago. Hopefully our owner sticks with the process.

Watson was #1 on their draft board BUT 2. Hue WANTED Hooker, who was their #1 position player/non QB. So, they decided to trade down. They had a deal in place with Indianapolis to trade back up for "their guy" and Indianapolis agreed to it under the condition that "their guy" wasn't there. It turns out, "their guy" in both accounts was Hooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
