Sure you CAN make it with a "serviceable" QB, but you have to be SPECIAL in many other categories. Playoffs baby. Big Ben, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler... I don't see any "mediocre" Qbs in this group. Sorry. Even Sanchez is pretty good.

Gotta get a Mallet. Trade down if you want.

The only QB "lock" I thought in this draft was Luck and he is staying. I'm not sure how I'd feel about Mallet.

Cleveland has so many holes to fill I don't think its even worth taking a QB early in this draft. I don't see anyone making an immediate impact anyway.

He just won his very first playoff game yesterday and he has been in the league how long now? Sanchez is the product of the system, great run game and defense which means the pass is going to be wide open. I agree we need another QB, because I don't think anyone is 100% sold on McCoy just yet....but I'd take McCoy over any of the QB's in this draft any day, especially Mallet.

We need to get an offensive play maker such as a number 1 receiver or we need to draft a pass rusher or a cb such as patrick peterson or amukamara. The fact you even mentioned mallet makes me laugh

rydawg5;642068 wrote:Mallet makes YOU laugh, yet me and every GM looks at him as a 1st Round Talent. Sorry God. Also, I said if we can "TRADE DOWN" and get Mallet, meaning get more picks for more players.

If we draft where we are, I always want the best available player. So what I was saying is if we do trade our pick. But if we trade down and get Mallet at a value and then have more picks, I think that's the right way to go.

That's what doesn't make sense.

I could understand if you wanted to draft a QB who's skillset compliments our system, but grabbing a guy who doesn't fit the scheme at all?

That'd be like drafting Marcel Dareus and playing him as a 34 OLB.

I would rather go 0-16 this coming season and get Andrew Luck in next year's draft than pick Mallet anywhere in this year's draft.
