Let them take a QB.  I don't know much about this year's draft, and less about college football, but this dude has broken through the fog enough for me to agree.  I hope the Eagles don't have to face him twice a year.

So, is there a working theory on how the Browns will farg this draft up? Or is everyone letting the Browns be the Browns?

Pretty simple. If they come out of the top 4 with a bust QB and another player who doesnt project to be a star for the next decade, they farged up.

How much must they hate to be in this position again?

They've proved to NEVER get it right. Poor team. How can you strike out so many times? They're so snake bitten, that even when they were too afraid to pull the trigger, they traded away the Wentz pick.

Hope their luck changes. It would suck for it to be another bust if they get this wrong.

farg them bitches.  When Hue Jackson ran his mouth about Wentz after the ginger proved him wrong, that was the final nail in their coffin as far as I'm concerned.  They've had how many chances to get it right?   I mean, Christ... even a busted clock is right twice a day.

It sounded like the GM overrode Hue Jackson. Thank god.

I saw a mock today that showed them picking Darnold, then Chubb...and then trading up to the 32 spot and grabbing Guice. If they could pull that off (which I doubt), they'd be in pretty good shape. But then again...it's Cleveland.

QB Eagles

I can't imagine that Hue has a lot of input into these picks.

Worst case scenario for the Browns would probably be taking Mayfield or Allen #1 (and the pick subsequently busting), then taking Barkley #4 (and him being pretty good for the next 4 years but ultimately not an important enough role to be a difference maker). Of course if Mayfield plays like vet Drew Brees right off the bat, they're fine.

Taking a can't miss stud like Chubb or Nelson #4 would be amazing insurance for them if they want to chase a boom-or-bust QB.

This is what he said verbatim:

Quote"No, we haven't (second-guessed ourselves),'' Jackson said. "That's one thing I can tell you for sure has not happened. He had a good game, a great game if you guys want to term it that, and I respect that. He's a fine young man and they have good coaches and a good organization, and he is going to do well for them, but that was one game.

"He played well. Like I said, we'll look back and see where he is over a period of time, but the Browns have to get better. That's what we have to do. We have to play better, and I think we all understand that."

He's either lying or being a company man there.  Whatever the case, farg Cleveland.

PS: Gimme LeBron while you're at it, bitches.  LOL

The character played by Jonah Hill in Moneyball is based on him too.

what picks do the eagles have
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

its been what everyone has been saying for weeks now but the way its played out has made it even more the ultimate trade back spot

no one obvious has dropped

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds
