Bills4life1924 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I wrote about this in a couple other threads. But instead of voicing a possibility 10x's in 10 threads, this is the only reason for starting a new thread for the same topic. So many people are assuming the browns are taking a qb 1st overall. Which brings me to this... The browns already named their starter. If u take a qb 1st overall, why would u not let him compete for the job? I understand u may want to sit him for a year, ect... But why not ATLEAST let the top overall pick in the draft compete for the job in camp? They also signed Carlos hyde. So maybe the browns value draft picks over barkley. Maybe the browns will trade back (esp since they already own pick #4) for high draft picks and fill their roster with top end talent. I'm not saying they won't select a qb with 1st pick(I also think they will), but just another possibility to think about.

Success Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Maybe, but we need to step back a bit, imo. Prior to our trade to 12, getting into the top 5 was a pipe dream. I don’t think they necessarily have to panic now. It’s a very good QB class, but perhaps a bit overrated. Do we really want to give up what it would take to get to 1 or 2 now?

Bills4life1924 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I too think they select a qb. But nobody knows for sure what's going to happen, so I'm just voicing another possibiliy for posters to think/talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It would take 12, 22, 53, 56, 65, 96. In other words all of our picks in RDS 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really want to give up what it would take to get to 1 or 2 now? To be honest, hell yeah I would. I like the idea of filling out the roster. But, when is the last time we went for it all? It's been too Long not to try. If we mortgage a lot for a guy and he doesn't pan out, so be it. But I wanna ATLEAST take the chance(in a strong qb draft class) to land a franchise guy.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 While trading pick #1 for pick #12 and lower picks and instilling Tyrod & Hyde as your backfield of now and the future is a very browns thing to do, it's not something to realistically think could happen.

But I wanna at LEAST take the chance(in a strong qb draft class) to land a franchise guy. That’s fair. If they do go for it, I’m all in. If they don’t and we get someone like Jackson and keep our picks, I’ll still be pretty stoked about the season. I think these guys know what they’re doing. I’m sure today was a setback, but I doubt they’re devastated about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 They may be planning on taking a QB #1 and knowing that the rookie may put up a fuss not wanting to play for Browns plan on Tyler being starter since rookie will miss a lot of camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have a ton of picks to build the team around him, wouldn't have to start right away, we are in my mind the ideal landing spot for him.
