    Probably more/less the same as last year when TP helped the Browns to 1 win.

    You mean the guy who only caught near 50% of his targets and with terrible yac stats? I'd rather have Britt anyways. Is pryor a nice 2nd/3rd receiver? Sure but let's stop acting like he was a top receiver. He can and was easily replaced.

    5 days until the draft, who's everyones picks for the first round? Either at 1 and 12, or who would you move up to get along with the first?

    Mine would be 1) Garrett 12) Humphrey

    IDEALY 1)Garrett 6-7) Hooker

    I'm cool with that.

    The 12th pick and next year's second rounder will get Garapolo according to Pete Prisco.

    Still say the Pats can go fuck themselves if they want a 1st, however I think if that really is their asking price the Browns can get it down to a couple 2nd round picks.

    Yep I think 33 and next years second could get it done

    I'd be really surprised if 2 2nd got it done. I highly doubt Pats would do that

    This.

    No chance pats are giving up Jimmy G without getting a first rounder back.

    Even if they take all defense, I don't buy that part. In 2010 they ended up in the top 10 in defense and still ended up 4-12. In 2007, the defense was ranked 30th and they went 10-6.

    If they get the QB, they have enough on offense to be pretty good. The defense will eventually catch up.

    As far as Prisco's rumor about #12 and a 2nd for JG, sign me up.

    So what are your worst/best case scenarios/predictions for Thursday night?

    For me,

    Worst: 1) Jimmy Boy forces the issue and the Browns take Trubisky over Garrett at #1. 2) Browns take Watson at #12 (or even trade up).

    Best: 1) Somehow acquire Garoppolo without breaking the bank. 2) Load up on defensive studs.
  • Crimson streak
    Best case is we draft Garrett and hooker at 12, and somehow get garoppolo with the 33 and more picks
    Worst case is not taking Garrett at number 1 or taking Watson at all.

    Pretty much these. I fully expect the Browns to Browns it though.
  • sleeper
    Best case, take Garrett at #1 and a BPA non-QB at #12.

    Worst case, Anything but Garrett at #1 and a QB at #12.

    There's an article on Yahoo where they interviewed Joe Banner. Granted, Banner is a self absorbed a-hole, who makes sure everyone knows when he is right, but in this piece, Banner said that when he was fired 3 months before the 2014, Johnny Manziel was not on the Browns draft board. "Too risky" and Bridgewater was their top QB.

    I remember that they spent a ton on, I believe, analytics and it said Bridgewater was the guy they should take.

    Of course, he could be lying about Manziel not being on their board but I actually believe him.

    What this says to me is that Haslam got involved because Farmer supposedly wasn't a fan of Manziel either.

    Shit like that scares the Hell out of me going into Thursday.

    Best Case - Garrett at 1, and I'm cool with any non-qb (well not any but BPA here) or Trubisky at 12
    Worst Case - Anyone but Garret at 1, or trading up for a QB
  • SportsAndLady
    Garrett at 1, trubisky at 12 would be amazing but it's very unlikely trubisky falls out of the top 6.

    I would be ok with this. I'm still holding out hope for garopollo though lol

    A few Tiffin players have made it to the NFL.
