Ruggiero Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Joe Buscaglia on WGR just pointed out that Adam Caplin said on ESPN the Browns will select Derek Carr with the fourth pick of the draft. If it's true that news makes my Monday. A player that we would never of selected going ahead of us just letting one of our guys fall. Maybe Sammy falls to Oakland and we trade up or maybe it just helps Matthews or someone fall. Really hope it's a legit report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zevo Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 That would be an incredible mistake for pettine and his first go of it as a head coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 See your QB, get your QB. Â Personally if I were Cleveland I'd be willing to gamble he's available with their second round 1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Doubt the Browns would let anyone know this, but this is why I think it's BS that people think no QB's are going in the top 10. When you like a QB who generally has a 1st round grade, you don't get cute and hope he's there at the end of the 1st and beginning of the 2nd round. My guess is that Manziel and Bortles are gone by pick #9, with a good shot that Carr is too. I can understand the Texans taking Clowney, but it would be ridiculous for teams like Jax, Cleveland, Oakland, and even Tampa and Minnesota to pass on Manziel, Bortles, and Carr. Bridgewater is also an upgrade over any QB on their rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 See your QB, get your QB. Â Personally if I were Cleveland I'd be willing to gamble he's available with their second round 1 pick. Â with it being that much of a stretch, youd think they would be willing to accept just about ANYTHING in a trade back, as there would be almost no risk to drop 10 spots.

That too. Maybe they'd like to drop into the #9 slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Next year they should bump the draft to August. This **** is WAY out of control/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Mike Glennon in action and I would take that arm over what Bridgewater brings most any day. Â In addition, go ahead and take Carr at #4. Just leaves the Bills with more options and less incentive to lose picks by trading up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance that we're gonna wish we had a shot at Manziel, Bortles, and Carr come next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm of the opinion that if you want a certain (top draft) QB, you take him as soon as you can. It's too important of a position to risk guessing when he'll still be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If the Browns don't grab him Minnesota will. If he is their guy they have to take him. Now if Johnny Football and Blake Bortles (Jax, Hou, Oak, all need QBs) go early our #9 is looking like #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Why is it that anytime Mathews is mentioned so is his pedigree and Carr not so much? Wouldn't it be great if the Texans took Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I saw the segment on ESPN with Kaplan. It seemed tongue in cheek, right after Kiper and McShay went chalk with Watkins. Wingo acted like they needed to spruce up the stagnant draft talk, so he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What would the Browns have to gain by letting this out, unless they're trying to bait another team into trading up? Â Why is it that anytime Mathews is mentioned so is his pedigree and Carr not so much? Wouldn't it be great if the Texans took Carr. Because his brother is David?

Dean Cain Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) translation, who wants to trade up for #4. Bills did similar last year trading back then getting their QB. Edited April 28, 2014 by Dean Cain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 From the broadcast, it was implied the browns would use their 2nd pick on Carr, not the 4th overall. It was just speculation because they liked him. The broadcast they were discussing different scenarios to where the QBs could go. Unless there was another one on at another time I didn't see.

TXBILLSFAN Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Next year they should bump the draft to August. This **** is WAY out of control/ +1. I think Whaley was smart giving his personnel folks a week off in April and right when he said study long, study wrong, if we are going nuts, the pros that do this for a living must be going bonkers . . . by the time the draft gets here, I think we'll have heard literally every possible scenario for every team --- please don't push the draft back another week next year !!
