78thealltimegreat Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It was reported a bunch of places prior to their first pick in 2018 the Browns brass had a really long discussion about whether to take Baker Mayfield or Josh Alllen...at this point it’s safe to say this kid is the best qb since Jim Kelly and well Baker isn’t exactly Brian Sipe out there so Thanks guys 👍 20 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Let’s not forget them choosing Denzel Ward instead of Chubb made us not pay extra to trade up with Denver. So they helped us by taking the wrong QB and helped us by reaching for a CB. That reach made Denver stay at 5 and select Chubb, thus allowing the Bills to move up without using multiple firsts.

It's definitely beneficial for us, but Ward is an emerging star and they definitely 'hit' on the pick With them already having a stud DE in Myles Garrett, they'd either have to let Chubb walk or invest a little too much money for one position group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry I don't see emerging star when I watch Denzel Ward. I see a guy who is a solid corner but who isn't a playmaker back there. Don't think at this stage he is close to proven as worthy of the #4 pick especially when Nelson and Chubb went right after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A close friend of mine is a Browns fan and speaks glowingly of him - and as for a tangible response of sorts, I'm fairly certain his allowed completion percentage is among the lowest in the league. I can't say much else for certain since I don't watch their games regularly play by play, but at the very worst, he's a quality player - and I can agree he's not as good as some of the later guys that you had mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoBills33 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I wanted Baker over Allen in the draft. I am definitely happy with who we get now. However, I bet if Baker had this team and coaching staff around him the last three years he would be doing much better than he is now with that circus in Cleveland.
