he's getting the hype machine behind him, but no, i wouldnt take him if i'm the browns....at least not in the first 2 rounds.....like cats have said: they need to take the best player available with the #1 pick...hell, they should take the bpa with all their picks in the first 2 rounds...they have more holes to fill than just qb, starting with both lines....

After the shyt show mccown put on today I don't see how anyone thinks we shouldn't take Trubisky/Kizer asap, we need to get the top qb and start developing them.

ive changed my tune. any QB we put back there is going to just get slaughtered. I say just ride RG3 and a veteran qb for 1 more season and this draft just build the O line/defense with bpa

The more I see from them I don't think any qb is worthy to be picked over Garrett:francis: There's gonna be a good QB with Philly's pick or we can even package that pick and get the qb we want to go with garrett

We get Bitonio back next season...I do think we need to upgrade at Center but our line really isn't bad and shon Coleman/Spencer Drango will have another training camp under their belts. I'd take a center in the late 2nd or 3rd at most. Mccown and Kessler get killed because they hold on to the ball waaaay too long.

Im betting the 3 "good" qbs are gone in the first ten picks...way before phillys pick rolls around. I'm with you on packaging that pick and moving up.

Browns in a perfect situation. They'll take Garrett #1 and take the remaining of Kizer/Trubisky/Watson (I like all three) with Philly's pick which will between #7-12.

Browns will have the league shaking within 2 years. Believe that. This FO knows what they're doing

Also if the QBs rise to #2-6 (outside range of Philly's pick), Fournette/Cook will be on table

1a. Garrett
1b. Fournette/Cook
2a. Dashaun Watson (pray he drops)
2b. Maye/Peppers/Evans (safeties)


Franchise defining draft right there

Browns owner pledges to stay the course at recent full-staff meeting

Browns owner pledges to stay the course at recent full-staff meeting
Browns ownership, in the face of what could shape up as an 0-16 season, recently held a staff meeting for all team employees to make the case for not making coaching and management changes despite now having lost 30 of their last 33 games. Sources said owner Jimmy Haslam, his wife Dee, coach Hue Jackson, executive vice president Sashi Brown, and analytics chief Paul DePodesta all spoke at the meeting, which was intended to boost morale and make the case for staying the course despite such dire circumstances.

Haslam has been notorious for making annual changes since assuming ownership and, with the team mired in its worst stretch ever and getting precious little contributions from this year's draft class -- the first with Brown in this position -- sources said Haslam blamed past regimes for the team's current predicament. In particular, he pointed to the three drafts prior to this one (which includes one in which the owner himself was deeply involved with the selection of troubled quarterback Johnny Manziel in the first round) as the cause for their problems.

Haslam and the other speakers detailed how well they are working together, sources said, and asked the employees to believe in their vision for getting the franchise back on top. They stressed the need for continuity, claiming they have finally assembled the right collection of decision-makers. Haslam blamed his hires in the past and all the changes he made for causing this spiral and apologized for the mistakes they had made in the 2013-15 drafts.

Jimmy Haslam, right, and GM Sashi Brown are staring down an 0-16 season. USATSI
Of course it remains to be seen if the owner sticks to this plan should the Browns actually fail to win a game this season, with discontent from the fans at an all-time high, with season ticket renewals needing to be sent out (Browns tickets were going for $6 on the secondary market) and with some planning a parade for the team should it indeed go winless.

Numerous executives from other clubs have pointed out how little the Browns are getting thus far from their 2016 draft, how little Haslam has spent on his product (the Browns have by far the lowest payroll in the NFL) and the questionable decisions made to release or allow key players to sign elsewhere as being cause for concern about the current path the team is on.


It's La Canfora so take it for what it is but if true this is a good sign. I completely disagree with him about our draft class underperforming though.

Be nice if we could get a win out of the 49ers to get them to 2 on the season incase we mess around and win a game.
