It was pretty wishy-washy. I think Banner and Haslam will do a good job selling O'Brien or Kelly that it's a new day in Cleveland.
Nah, I'm just joking. I'd be a bit bummed if Weeden is traded, but I'll still be a Browns fan.
...
Unless they draft Landry Jones. Fuck that scrub.
There's a good chance they will.

I hate Landry too, and don't worry I doubt he's going any place. His contract is fully promised, he's a smart old guy
Trade the Chiefs' second round pick for Weeden and Marecic!
Yeah by the second half of the year, teams kind of picked up on your schemes and made them go on long drives. It's so miserable watching WRs barely get open and then never make anyone miss. Definitely need an infusion there, but there doesn't seem to be any big time WRs in this draft. Or really any skill players. Not even sure about RBs

What a beast.
I think free agency might end up being the best way to fix the WR situation, and the picks could be spent on various other needs (T, CB, TE, etc).

But honestly reminds me of the Browns last season

Jerry Reese is on WFAN. Some bullet points:
- Is Jerry Reese looking to rebuild? "The teams going to look different," he said, "but we dont have to blow the thing up here right now."
- Jerry Reese plans to reach out to Michael Strahan to see if he'll talk to Jason Pierre-Paul about fighting through double/triple teams he's been seeing.
- Jerry Reese says again of Justin Tuck: "We do believe hell come back, be healthy, have a good season and be the old Tuck that we know."
- Reese wasn't as strong about Corey Webster's return, said he "struggled mightily" vs. Baltimore. Does think he'll bounce back, though.
- On Terrell Thomas, Reese said they'll reach out to him to see where he is, is unsure about his return and he might be one of those guys that has to move to safety moving forward. (considering the money he is owed, doubtful he returns)
- Reese: "I dont think theres any question that (David Wilson) can be the lead back" in the NFL. (Ahmad is either outright gone or will be brought back for less money)

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns will be prepared to make Oregon coach Chip Kelly "an offer he can't refuse" if this weekend's interview goes well.
I'm hyped and it's not even draft day. Spend all your moneys Haslam!

Nap time is best time
Given it's an interview with the media, I'm content with what he revealed and how he answered some of these questions. If he wants JPP to reach out to Strahan for advice, maybe he should reach out to Fewell and have JPP moved to LE.
I always feel like shit when I wake up from naps, so I never take them.

Osi is gone. JPP will start at LE regardless.Cagey said:
Outside of that, he'll be moved all over the line just as Tuck, Kiwi etc. are. That's not new. He was moved all over the line in 2011 as well.
Yeah, I don't know what will happen. I have faith in Osweiler over this time period to be the man when Manning is done. I also trust Elway as well. I hope he does the right thing and makes good moves. I guess only time will tell, and as we've talked about we have to enjoy what is in front of us. We can talk about this stuff February 4th!
Barkley? Who would you take with that pick even if it was a reach?
Honestly unless something drastic happens I expect at worse that Weeden will still get a shot at being the starter next year.
At worse it just won't be handed to him and he'll be in an open competition with a FA or rookie.

That's amazing.
What is it with Kelly that gets you guys so hot and bothered? What makes you think he can run an NFL team/offense?
Yeah, I hope so. Allow Kiwanuka to play the other end. Rotate Tuck in so he isn't always dinged up (probably will be anyways). Hope to see them look at DL early anyways.
From the comments, though, it seems like Reese plans to target CB very early (1st pick). I have no issue with that as Corey is gone after 2013, if not sooner. Safety seems to be in okay shape if they keep ahold of Stevie Brown, and Will Hill stays healthy.
Linebacker wasn't mentioned, but I think that position will be overhauled. Blackburn and Rivers both FA's, Boley is a likely candidate to be released, and Kiwanuka is going to the DL. Williams could be one probable starter. Health is the most important factor for these guys, notably Williams and Rivers. Look for an under-the-radar type pickup in free agency.
Yeah, there simply aren't any great options out there to replace him atm.
Like I said, I'm not too worried about it anyways. It's not like Weeden set the world on fire last year.
He didn't play well enough to be the anointed starter, especially since he'll probably be asked to run a new offensive system next year.

If the Brownies give up on Weeden, or move him to backup, are you staying with the Browns?

Kelly might give the ball to Trent on 3rd and short.

When you get in the "what have we got to lose?" mindset I think it makes someone like Kelly a lot more appealing. There is definitely a pretty big risk involved but there is always the chance that he could bring an exciting new offense to Cleveland, and what have you got to lose?

Prefer DE or OL personally, but CB wouldn't bother me. Who though? Will a Banks or Xavier Rhodes be there at 19?Striker said:

So who's the big ticket QB in next year's draft? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Chiefs to just ride out another year with what they have/pick up a veteran free agent?
They already suck, pick up the best player in the draft, suck it up again next year and pick a young QB then. Geno Smith will most likely suck.

We have been together for over 4 years.
If he can make the Browns a top 10 offense within 3 years I will crown him the greatest coach of all time.
If chip goes to the Browns, I would think that Geno to the Browns is a high possibility and that the Browns would try to deal Weeden.
That's not that hard. Just get a pretty boy QB that complains for a flag anytime someone looks in his general direction and they'll have no problem.

Pretty much.
People act like the Skins paid a lot for RGIII...that's clearly not the case now, but teams have been drafting multiple 1st round picks on trash QB's for years. Giving up a couple of first rounders for a guaranteed franchise QB seems like a no brainer.
And I don't hate the Browns
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2014
There might be a few underclassmen who declare (like Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville). I could also see a guy like Tajh Boyd climbing up the ranks. I think he could very definitely run a zone-read style offense at the NFL level.
357 as your leading rusher got to some kind of low since the 50's or some shit. that is crazy low

The exact Offense Kelly would run isn't really know, he says he adapts to his players strengths.
Also Geno really isn't all that mobile/fast

Meh, it was one of the first links that popped up.
Maybe the Browns will make your dreams come true and bring in VY to run the zone read!
I'm impressed with Bridgewater and Tajh Boyd.

29th for inside the 20 and 38th for touchbacks isn't good at all. He's got a cannon for a leg tho, fosho.
My MVP is Cameron Wake and his 15 sacks + 3 FFs. Imagine what he could do if we got one more good Cornerback..
Dallas and Chicago get a lot of press for their bad lines, but Arizona was historically bad. Worst I've seen since the 2002 Texans
