Tyrod's friend Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 2 hours ago, jkirchofer said: I think we get to pick No. 4, and RJ White on CBS Sports thinks it will only cost No. 12, No. 96, and next years 1st. No way the Browns will able to afford the fifth year option on two top 10 picks at premium positions. The option cost on No. 12 is a different story. Courtesy of ProFootballRumors.com I can see why #4 might be available. I fail to see why it decreases the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No link, but he just said it on Good Morning Football on NFL Network. Lately I think he's been one of the more reliably dialed in guys out there. Take it for what it's worth, less than a week from making that pick. I think this might set off the lamar jackson crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I have never been as all-in on a prospect as I am with Mayfield - I am completely convinced he’s bound for a hall of fame career - he reminds me so much of Favre. Darnold may be a good as well, but I just can’t get excited for drafting any of these other guys with Baker an option. And the thought of him ending up in the division is just too much...

I like Lamar Jackson, but I like Rosen, Mayfield and Darnold more and believe this team has acquired all these draft picks over the last year in order to get the QB they believe is the 1st or 2nd best QB in this draft, not the 4th best. That said, if we stay at 12 and draft Jackson and keep the rest of our picks, I won't be unhappy even though this board will remain very divided.

Can't remember who, but it was someone who had sources. But this close to the draft, sometimes the sources are smoke-screening or adrenaline- and confirmation-bias-blinded. Rosen could fall but it is nowhere as sure as people here seem to think. Edited April 21, 2018 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I feel about Rosen. It very well could go Allen at 1 then Darnold. But Mayfield and Rosen are most likely to be the best of the draft. If we are the ones picking Darnold at 2 we are going to be kicking ourselves possibly for the rest of our lives knowing we could have picked one of those other guys! I just hope Rosen goes to a team I don't care about like Arizona so it doesn't get rubbed in our faces for years and years if we pass on him. Not only pass on him but trade up and give up extra picks and go out of our way to pass on him! Now that will hurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) 17 hours ago, dave mcbride said: I suggest you list all of the great UCLA qbs not named Troy Aikman. And all of the great Oklahoma QBs. I did research on this, and the only two schools that stand out since the 1970 merger are Stanford and to a lesser extent Cal. Aikman attended UCLA not USC, which was the team I referenced, and USC gets much more hype than UCLA. More to the point, I specifically referenced the hype that's been a hallmark of USC QBs in "recent years, which 1989 certainly is not, and how USC QBs have not lived up to their hype when they got to the NFL. Palmer, Leinart, and Sanchez were all supposed to be "can't miss" prospects, at least according to their fans, but only Palmer had a decent NFL career. The hype surrounding Darnold has been even worse than the hype spewed out for Leinart and Sanchez ... and his flaws -- too many INTs and fumbles and poor mechanics -- are among the most frequent problems of QBs who fail to transition from college to the NFL.

Ok then. Let's look at all of the Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Miami, Penn State, LSU, and Michigan QBs since 1970 who really made it at the NFL level. They are storied programs, and they all generally produced one great qb max. Where Darnold went to school is MEANINGLESS. It is a truly weak inference.

I'm not talking about whether schools produce QBs frequently or not, but how much hype -- publicity intended to boost a QB's draft stock -- the QBs from some schools get compared to other schools. Would Darnold be as highly regarded if he played for Miami of Ohio or Wisconsin or Boston College? IMO, I don't think he would be, but as I noted, he was being mentioned as a likely #1 pick as early as 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 at this point it looks like the draft starts for us at number 4. Cleveland will value our next years 1 because they are loaded with picks this year. If the draft starts Allen, barkely, Mayfield then it is game on . If Darnold is gone you have to wonder how aggressive the Bills will be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that I've watched a ton of his tape over the past month and I get it - he is a hell of a prospect and has elite pocket presence. I actually think that he would be a highly regarded prospect regardless of USC. Don't forget he'd have better stats in those conferences as well. I would be over the moon if we got him.
