So the Browns are trading everyone and starting over again?

Aren't all draft war rooms a committee though really? Besides whoever has final say
I do think there have been some questionable picks in the last couple of years.
I don't necessarily question WHO they picked, but they did poorly in terms of maximizing value. Picking Richardson 3rd overall was a stretch (especially since they traded up for him when they didn't have to) and they almost certainly could've gotten Weeden in the second round.

I firmly believe their were other people willing to trade up for the number 3 pick
So basically he's gonna pick people with his type of philosophy when drafting...I Don't think thats a good thing Kave.
That's like being happy that Ryan Leaf is the new QB coach.
Then they should have just taken Blackmon or somebody else at 4, and taken say, Doug Martin or someone else later on to fill the RB void. RB is so much less valuable than it used to be, and I'm still not convinced Richardson is a transcendent talent.
Unless he ends up being close to as good as Adrian Peterson, it was a stretch to pick him that high.

I want to make a thread about crab meat, but am gunshy for fear of banning. Tell me that I should not fear.

Kave man!!!! Gondo just stealthy dissed Richardson, he's out of the club bro! He's out!
I'm going to curl up in a ball now and rethink our GAFship Gondo, you brought this upon yourself

Nah. They feel like amateur projects in comparison.

Certainly in hindsight I agree with you. I probably wouldn't have taken Richardson at 3, but I'm not sure I'm smart enough to have done better
.Would you not agree that picking an RB in the top 10 (much less the top 5) is extremely risky in today's NFL?
I love T-Rich, I just question whether he was worth a pick that could've been Blackmon or Kuechly.

Ok Gondo I'm just going to say this i hate Blackmon and I'm glad we didnt draft him, I think he's a Dbag. I'm also pretty sure he made many little jabs at Cleveland during the draft process. And don't even bring up that story of him and that little girl, he's a Dbag.
Regarding to Martin I did love him during the Draft him and Richardson were one two for me.

Justin Blackmon is an excellent football player and an upstanding American.
The fact that he played at OSU does not color how I view him in any way whatsoever.
Some talk on Philly sports radio that Alex Smith might be the starting QB here next season.
Saying Foles might be traded (possibly to KC) and Vick is owed too much money and is too old.
I really hope Kelly modifies his offense enough where he can still bring what made his system so great at OU but also recognizes that you still need a top 10 QB in the league to compete at the highest level. Meaning don't go after Dixon.

Blackmon isnt even the best WR on his team.
He had a pretty good season from what I gather, considering the utter clusterfuck that is the Jags QB situation.

Yes, but it 's more by specialization. Somebody has final say. It really doesn't sound like anybody does with this cadre of guys.

Let's be honest someones probably gonna have final say, that was probably just a show for the media. To prevent more of a uproar

At the end of the day I just hope they have some kind of rational plan.

I am so worried about them getting small hands. Just look at the 9ers offense with CK, it is a million times better now. Alex is a frightened little coward who cant throw down the field. I guess if you are going to waste a year or 2 until you get a real QB he would be as good at wasting time as the other guys. Vick is the only option with any real upside but he is so old and beat up I doubt he has much left.

Other than the money don't see much point in dumping Vick for Smith.

Costs $3 but worth it IMO

Yep. Hopefully Vick will restructure if that is th route they go. No reason to have to either trade something to the 9ers for Smith, or give him decent money as a FA. None of these guys are going to be the Eagles QB in 2 years anyways.
What about it? I'll do it

How does eating it affect the size and consistency of your shit.
If you stick with them past Weeden i'll give you mad props

I've stuck with them my entire life, and for better or worse that will never change.
You dont count+ you probably live in Ohio so thats another negative. He jumped on the Browns because they drafted Brandon Weeden(he a big ok st fan)

Weeden to KC or Jags for 2nd.......sorry Gondo
You think Weeden would get a 2nd? Man can't even beat a flag.
Yeah but some people seem to believe Vick is as good as gone.
It all depends on what variation of his own offense he wants to run. If he wants to use Foles as trade bait and use a veteran as a placeholder for a QB he drafts this year or the next draft, then might as well keep Vick. No point in Alex Smith since he won't be the answer for the future anyway. Keep Vick, run a power running game with the trio they already have and run a variation of the read option that Wilson and RG3 run. Vick is injury and turnover prone but it didn't help that Reid's offense offered zero protection.
If you keep Foles you can still run heavy but more a offense closer to what the Patriots do. Very fast tempo where you get a play off almost ever 20-24 seconds.
I can see both working so long as Kelly is smart enough to recognize strengths and weaknesses.
Third option would be that the QB he wants right away is not on the roster.

Interesting piece on Dallas' switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 will hurt their overall D.
Never thought about it, but anything that potentially makes Dallas weaker is ok with me.

none unless we trade down, doubt we take a OG that high. Also I think well try and fill the need during FA maybe get Schwartz brother
Naaaw, but Qb needy teams will be desperate
For qbs with Alzheimer's , i think not!

It calls out to you. You know what needs to be done.
For the record I'm hoping the Panthers grab him at 14 if he's available.
