Shady Slim Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 so here's a hypothetical, you are the browns (please stay it gets better from here!!) and you are navigating through the draft and free agency period you have got two first rounders and so much cap space what do you do? personally i don't take a quarterback in the first round - neither darnold or rosen is even the best quarterback in the draft - and they aren't going to take the one who is in mayfield - and so i take saquon with the first overall and either minkah or chubb with the fourth. if minkah and chubb aren't available with the fourth i'd consider flipping it to some qb needy team for like, all of their firsts, but i don't see a scenario where one of them isn't on the board and then i snag cousins in free agency on a mammoth contract, and make a play for jarvis landry too so how about you FF?

Shady Slim Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 yeah look i ideally take mayfield at four but the way i'm reading it there's zero change mayfield is a one digit draft pick - hope he is though bc he's again the best qb in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Darnold has a lot of potential but I wouldn't bet my job on him tbh. Too much risk. My guess? They take Rosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Why use the #1 pick, which only gets you 1 player, when you can trade it for a haul that nets several players? It's simple math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple math. Depends on the situation. If you have depth (and the Browns do have some, as they've hoarded picks over the years), it may be best to use that first pick on the draft instead of trading it. If you need a total rebuild, and you don't like what's out there, then trade out. If you like the pick, take it. There is no one way to "win" in the offseason (and if that's confusing...just because you made a pick with 1.1 does not mean you are guaranteed to be a loser/can't win the Superbowl the upcoming season)!!

JAF-N72EX Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Quote Cleveland Selects... ....to give up and move the team to Canada. In all seriousness, the Browns are in a tough spot this year due to bad timing of all this. They already have some solid players on the defensive side of the ball and plenty of money to play around with. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that with just a few good "starter pieces" - for lack of a better term - on offense, they could potentially be looking at a 7 or even 8 win season to go along with a pretty bright future. I know, I know, we hear this every year. The trouble with all this is that one of those missing pieces still happens to be the QB position during a year where their options in FA are looking pretty limited and I'm not particularly sold on the QB class this season either. Save for MAYBE Mayfield, if he ever grows up but Hue Jackson/Todd Haley are CERTAINLY not the best coaches to go for maturity rehabilitation. That's for damn sure. So what's the next best move??? Imo, they should reach into FA and go get a serviceable QB to hold you over until next season. Save the draft picks, but not use any early rounds on a QB. Instead use those picks to fill the other holes on offense and begin to solidify the offensive line and skill positions so that your almost all set after Jackson gets fired next year and you begin fresh with a new a HC and a new QB that you draft next year.

DontTazeMeBro Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Chubb. If him and Garrett turn out as good as they should, unblockable. I don’t like any of these QBs except Jackson, kinda. If I can’t get Cousins or Foles I guess I’d take him at 4. Way too high but I’m getting fired if I don’t turn this around so no choice really If I can get Cousins or Foles. Try to get another haul for 4. If I can’t probably take Roquan Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could of had Deshaun Watson last year and Carson Wentz the year before that. These guys are studs for the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
