    Lol that was a wtf pick
  • Mulva
    Off the top of my head, 2 guys I'd be interested in for tomorrow would be Andrew Billings (Shelton or not I think he's a huge value at this point) and Jeremy Cash.

    Would love to snag Cash.
  • Midstate01
    Give me cash and Scooby Wright to start the 4th and I don't care what they do after that.



    Cause I'll be flying.. and won't see it

    smh at Kessler, but glad it wasn't Cook--I think he's a head case
  • iclfan2
    Decent article on why Hue took Kessler. Still a head scratcher though, probably would have been there much later.

    No doubt the Browns will be grabbing a QB early next draft. I'm ok with the Browns grabbing a QB every draft until they figure it out. Kessler was their guy for THIS draft then so be it.

    I trust hue more than anyone. Obviously he saw something in him and thinks he could become a starting qb in this league. I'm willing to give him a shot
  • sleeper
    I like the picks so far so the QB doesn't upset me. I personally think its a wasted pick but maybe they know something I don't.
  • SportsAndLady
    I liked our first 2 days, but I'm not sure what we were thinking on Kessler. I think that might have been a little Hue ego coming out in that pick. He's developed a lot of young qbs but Kessler has zero arm strength and couldn't even break .500 in his career at USC against top defenses.

    I like the idea of grabbing a young QB and seeing if he can pan out, but would have much preferred Cook or the NC State QB.

    ^^^ why the love affair with Cook? The Browns certainly don't need another player, especially a QB, with that kind of baggage. IMO, he's a taller, bigger, less athletic toned-down version of Manziel. Like you, I'm not sold on Kessler, but I think it would've been a disaster waiting to happen if they would've drafted that dbag...jmo.

    I agree, there's a reason teams have steered clear of Cook. He's not a leader, not to mention his low completion percentage, only completing 58% of his passes at MSU.

    I'm not high on Cook at all. I just think he has a higher ceiling than Kessler and I think that's what you try and target with these mid to late round picks.

    Agree that he's a dbag. I'm loving knowing how pissed he was last night when he wasn't taken before the last day of the draft lol.
  • SportsAndLady
    Joe Schoebert is the pick from Wisconsin. Then trade the 100th pick to Oakland.

    Hue is in love with kesslers accuracy. You don't need the strongest arm if you have pin point accuracy. Hue even came out and said its his pick. So we shall see how it pans out

    For 2 more picks, 114 and 154.

    I wouldn't mind a RB at 114. Dixon or Howard could be nice players.
  • iclfan2
    A lot of "love" for Scoebert on Twitter. He was a walk on (as was nassib). Apparently we are picking high motor, high character guys this year.

    This....I trust Hue on this guy having a shot to be a NFL QB, but I agree he would have been available later. I don't like the trade down 15 spots in the third round(and the 5th round ,too!) just to get an extra 4th. At some point you are sacrificing quality for quantity, and they passed on some quality talent by doing that.

    It's pretty clear to see what the Browns are looking for so far. Stop the run and pass rush. Where have we heard this before?

    So basically, play defense?
