The Cleveland Browns select...

This is who you think they will pick, not who you want them to pick.

Darnold. I think there is legit Allen interest, but at the end of the day I don't think they can go that way. Still hoping the Giants take Barkley and we are sitting at 4 in a great spot to move a couple of picks for ammo.

BTW, if the poll looks like it isn't taking your vote, that's not actually the case. Your vote will show up in a few minutes. I need to tweak the caching a little bit so that it gets cleared every time someone actually votes on a poll or posts on a thread.

I kind of agree here. Before Dorsey even came to Cleveland he was a Mayfield fan. To me, the safest (not necessarily the best) choice would be Darnold followed by Mayfield, then Rosen, Jackson & Rudolph. I wouldn't take a flyer on Josh Allen until the 3rd round.

I think Dorsey has it down to Mayfield, Allen or Darnold. Fans will lose their shit if Allen's the choice.

I voted Darnold because I think it is the right pick. I'm guessing they take someone else.

Sam Darnold...and I'd love Barkley at 4 (but highly unlikely)

Yep, it's a known issue. It currently takes a few minutes for votes to show up. I will be fixing it this weekend.

I want Darnold, but expect Rosen. Which I’ll be 100% fine with. Like them both a lot.

I think it’s going to be Rosen or mayfield. I don’t think they are as high on darnold or Allen as they want you to believe. But my guess is it’s Rosen

This is my theory on it all...  Dorsey is trying to create all this hype on darnold and Allen to get teams to trade up to 2 and 3 to grab a qb to help ensure at pick number 4 they have the best position player falling right into there lap, basically in a sense giving them the number 1 pick twice in this draft. Or to trade that number 4 for a King’s ransom. If that is the case it’s absokutejy brilliant

This has been my thought as well with all of the pimping of Josh Allen. Dude has way too many red flags but the Browns seem to be connected to him. Maybe teams think, "what are we missing here? Should e look harder at this guy?" At some point, over the past month, the Browns have been linked to every QB (of the assumed top 4) except Rosen. I think they are trying to pump up the value so someone trades up (and a player falls) or they can trade that #4 pick. I've seen quite a few recent mocks with Rosen falling out of the top 10.

Which I really don’t get. Rosen is the most polished passer in this draft. His mechanics are flawless. To me he is the clear cut number 1 QB I really don’t get it. It’s almost similar to Aaron Rodgers. The outspoken cocky kid from Cali but when you put on the tape he is clearly the best qb. And doesn’t have accuracy problems or mechicanical issues or height and system issues

At this point I hope the Jets have a shot at one of Mayfield or Rosen at #3. I prefer Mayfield, but would not be upset with Rosen. My only real concern with him is durability. It would be kinda funny having an outspoken QB like Rosen on a team owned by one of Trump's ambassadors. All that said, as long as the Jets draft a QB at #3 I don't really care. If they determine Allen is their guy I'll go along with it.

Similar to me for Browns...you have the top pick.  Take your favorite QB and be done with it.  Each of these 4 has pros and cons to where I could see any of them being taken first.

It's the injury history. Two concussions, a shoulder and a knee injury are probably the reasons for this. With Rosen, you also need perfect pass protection because he takes sacks and isn't very mobile. Plus, some teams probably see him as a dick because he questions everything. This part, I don't see an issue with. 

If Mayfield were 2" taller and Rosen didn't have the injuries, they'd likely be 1a & 1b in this draft.

Honestly his injuries don’t bother me at all. The shoulder thing is a non issue. That was over a year ago and had no issue with it during the past season. The concussion thing as well doesn’t bother me. That’s football.
