    This. x1000000

    Well, besides the Rodgers comment. I think Rodgers could win more than 1 game, especially against the Steelers backups.

    Surprisingly the browns are #16. You have to imagine that Erving alone dropped them 5 spots.

    That's a pretty asinine comment. If we get an elite QB, we don't NEED a Dallas Cowboys line to do well.

    However, if we get a Dallas Cowboys line, we still need a decent QB to do well.

    I'll take the QB at 1 or 12.
    I just disagree. Obviously the Rodgers comparison is an exaggeration, but he'd not look nearly like he does now. I don't think it's worth it to draft a QB at 1 or 12 with this group that is out there. The Browns keep doing the same thing with drafting these QB's in the 1st and they're busts because they either sucked to begin with because our talent evaluation is awful (most likely case) or because they have literally 0.2 seconds to throw. If there's a sure fire #1`QB then I'm all for it...but this doesn't seem like a strong class at all.

    I can't get link to load on my phone...but I'm assuming they're combining both pass & run blocking? Browns line is decent at run blocking, were much better at the beginning of the year. Pass blocking is the major problem.

    You're actually completely wrong on this. The Browns online was solid in Pass Protection, like middle of the pack. The issue was our shit QBs holding on to the ball forever, running into pressure when there was no need, etc....

    Wow, you think our oline was solid? I know nothing I say will change your mind...but that blows my mind that people watched 16 games of the Browns and went "Hey, that line is pretty solid!".

    12th pick for Mitch

    I think it's a case of a line only being as strong as its weakest link. If they can replace Erving with above average production, I think the line would have been solid. Bitonio will be back next year, so they probably could slide Greco to center.

    Lol the qbs we've drafted have just sucked. That's it. They don't suck because our offensive line sucks. Stop dodging our problem. We haven't been able to draft a decent QB. Has NOTHING to do with the offensive line. If these qbs were decent, they'd go be decent somewhere else. Everyone is either out of the league (McCoy, manziel, Quinn,etc.) or 3rd string (weeden).

    And I keep repeating this, can we see how these QB's grade out at combines, pro-day's, etc before we anoint this a weak QB class? Please?

    Numbers don't lie. Also, Brent Sobleski (Great follow on Twitter, used to write for ESPN and USA Today) has been beating this drum all season. When I see Josh McClown holding on to the ball for 5+ seconds when it's supposed to be a 3 step drop, or RG3's complete failure to step up into the pocket and instead run to the side of the pressure, I see where they're coming from. So yes, while I didn't watch all 16 games this season (first time I've said that since '99) I do think the line was solid or avg.

    Bitpwnio has been injured for 2 straight years now. I do not want to rely on him sadly.

    I saw an article about the possibility the browns could trade up and get the 1st and 2nd pick. It would be pretty awesome to get both Allen and Garrett. But I'd rather trade up for a qb if need be

    What picks would it take to move up to #2? 12th and our 2nd?

    I'd definitely lean this way. This team isn't 1 player away, they need to use their picks and actually hit on them. Unless 2 guys absolutely blow them away...I think they should keep their picks.

    For fucks sake, the nerdy saber metrics front office isn't going to throw away every draft pick just to draft two guys. Time to move on from that fail speculation.

    Oh I agree 100% it was interesting to say the least. No way they do it. I could see them moving up though from the 12 spot to possibly 8-9 depending how the draft goes and if a qb is there they really like

    Also throwing in, I'm still in favor of Jimmy G. Give me Garrett and Jimmy G.

    Seeing a few mocks this morning with the Browns taking M Garrett at 1 and then Dalvin Cook, the RB out of fsu, at 12.

    I'm not a big believer in RBs this early in drafts..but we do need some explosiveness in our offense and cook can catch out of the backfield (a must have in today's NFL). I'd be okay with those two picks.

    lol no.

    Crow and Duke are just fine, Hue has to keep running them. We have bigger fish than fry than a fucking RB, come on S&L use your head.
