posted by BR1986FBJesus...I wish all of this "Josh Allen to the Browns at #1" bullshit would stop. The Browns, it seems, are the only ones connected to this guy. I keep hearing it's either Allen to the Browns at #1 or he will be the 4th QB taken. If everyone else thinks he's the 4th best QB, why is he being connected to Cleveland at 1?
can I assume this is what you were alluding to?

This is one of several. Seems to be a lot of talk of him going #1 or "it's between Darnold and Allen." If Rosen didn't have his previous physical issues, it would be between him and Mayfield for me. Choosing Darnold or Allen is like choosing Andy Dalton or Brandon Weeden (I'm not hopping on that bandwagon again)/Paxton Lynch at #1
If the Browns Draft Day hat that I just saw is the real version, it sucks. Little Browns orange helmet at the bottom of the words "Dawg Pound."
I would like to see the Browns take J T Barrett with their last draft pick if he is still on the board. I think his skill set is pretty similar to Taylor's. The Browns could use him for a 4th arm in preseason and then put him on the practice squad. If he could learn from Taylor who could end up being a viable backup.

A Dolphins fan called into Sirius this morning and was asking about Barrett and where they thought he'd go. Gil Brandt said definitely third day, somewhere between 5th-7th round. As you implied, major feat or famine-type project who would need to sit a couple of years.

Saw the same. Dumb

Huge homer here, but JT Barrett sucks. His processing speed is extremely slow, weak arm, and no anticipation skills. I do not want him.

This. JT Barrett is awful.
JT Barrett is not getting drafted.
His future is in coaching.

Fair enough. I think a 6th round pick would be worth a shot on JT. Not a big investment and anyone you draft in the 6th round is going to be a project.

Hmmmm....sounds like Josh Allen, minus the weak arm.

If you needed a professional in the QB room I could see it. A 3rd stringer that won't be a POS and help mentor a young kid/show how to prepapre wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Thank god dumbass Colin Cowherd isn't the Browns GM. In his "dream" mock, the Browns trade down, from #1, to the Patriots (#23) who take Darnold. Talk about a fan base imploding. Dorsey would be the new Eric Mangini.
Cowherd is the man. You took that bit way too seriously.

Hard disagree on the bolded, but you're right. That mock was more of a "dream" mock in the sense of what Colin would love to see happen as a fan. FWIW in his "realistic" mock, the Browns are taking Darnold #1.
I love Cowherd. I think doing a daily show gets all these guys caught between there own self. He does solid research on topics he likes and usually has pretty strong backing with numbers. If he was weekly, I think a lot more people would like him.
I like that he doesn’t hide from the fact he is a personality, and in that role, he has to cater to big markets and big stories...so he openly roots for it.
Getting really worried about the amount of Allen rumors from people who are usually legit. Either they're leaking it on purpose or really leaning that way, would be fucking terrible.

Let me rephrase, people who usually don't make up shit are hearing things. Not that the people leaking this info aren't making shit up. It seems like today everyone has heard the same rumor from "inside the org". I don't remember the couple guys I saw today mention it on twitter

Here's the thing about the rumors. The Browns don't need to be coy or send smokescreens....they have the NUMBER ONE friggin' pick in the draft so if stuff is leaking, it's very possible it's true. That's what scares me the most.
holy shit—MJD on NFL Network has the Browns taking Barkley at 1 & Chubb at 4...talk about burning a city down! lol

Also Lamar Jackson as their QB at #32 in a trade up with the Eagles.
I would snap.
