Browns Take Mayfield at #1

.......... or the only guy the Bills are willing to go to #2 for is Darnold.

 

 

 

 

Maybe. 

 

I think there was too much talk about a month ago about how the Giants love him. I think he's the guy the Giants want, and if he's gone they pick Barkley instead or trade down if we give them 3 first round picks.

Some food for though for those who think NYG are taking a QB.

 

An offense with Beckham,Barkley,Engram ,Shepherd...add in Solder at LT. Then you throw in draft picks added in a trade for additional OL help. Pretty damn good with Eli pulling the trigger.

 

Flip side a rookie QB, no Barkley still need to draft a back, no additional picks, Eli has a big contract

 

Gettleman has drafted a RB very high before

Flip the decision - should Gettelman trade 3 first rounders and another high pick to draft Barkley?  Would anyone?

 

It's a deal like that which got Ditka fired.

If they go QB, it's going to cause LOTS of problems for them.  If you draft a guy at #2, then you better plan on playing him his rookie year, or year 2 at the latest.  I haven't heard about Eli planning on retiring.  I hope they trade the pick for Buffalo, and then either go with QB Davis or draft someone like Rudolph at the top of round 2.

It's not going to cause any problems for them. 

 

Eli Manning is 37 years old and has been steadily declining for 3 years. They need a QB of the future and it's a perfect situation for a QB to step into with no expectations to start immediately.

Then if they don't trade out, Gettelman deserves to be fired on the spot.

 

 

Agreed.  Everybody assumes the Giants are passing on a QB but I don't understand that logic.  Manning is nearing the end & the Gmen may not be in this spot again for the forseeable future.  We are not getting Mayfield/Rosen/Darnold is my guess.  Unless Beane loves Allen(which is entirely possible) stay put at 12 & take a shot at Jackson.

This is exactly how I have them ranked, after that I would draft Luke Falk before Allen or Jackson. Falk's is obsessed with football and the film room, it wouldn't surprise me if Falk ends up being the best QB from this draft. The arm strength of Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield and Falk are close to the same. Falk has amazing accuracy, anticipation and ball placement.

I'm generally surprised that Falk hasn't been mentioned more. I think he might be a surprise late 1st rd pick

 

If you can't find a fair trade up going the way of the redskins and drafting Jackson in 1st and Falk in the 2nd would be dynamite

Right idea, wrong Josh (Has Giants taking Barkley and Jets taking Darnold, but has us taking Allen, though he admits that he doesn't know which Josh we would take)

 

Makes sense. 

 

Baker Mayfield upgrades their offense enormously. 

 

Mayfield, with Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry and David Njoku could be an amazing offense. 


They also might have a shot at Barkley at 4, and if they don't, they can trade down and try to pick up picks to grab a franchise LT.

If it happens and the Giants take Darnold, then I don't know if I would even be angry.  You can't make a team trade with you and the only thing we could have done differently is beat out the Jets trade. 

 

You can't control what you can't control.  Use the 6 picks and make a really solid team so that AJ is just a game manager.

Enough with mediocre QBs.

i'm trying to remain positive.  it's likely that it could go:

1. Mayfield

2. Barkley

3. Darnold

4. Bills trade - Rosen

 

hopefully this doesn't screw everything up for us 

No way the Bills take Allen instead at 4. I'm surprised DJ is wavering, saw him say it was Rosen last night before the Allen tweet thing.

I am fully convinced if Mayfield goes 1st, that the Jets take Rosen #3.  He is closer to the mold of the QBs their GM and OC have taken in the past.

 

Getting prepared for Darnold to be the guy the Bills take.
