First thing I thought of when I read that as well. Decided it wasn't worth the effort to bring it up.

Any rumors to the belief that the bungals will now be trying to trade for him?

Also, lol @ thinking the entire fanbase would be excited about Brandon Weeden as our starting QB. Glad iggy is not the gm.

Give up ∞ first round draft picks starting this yr for Luck. That should get the city radio show talking/people jumping off 480 bridge.

Only way I want a QB in the first two rounds is if we trade back and pick up an extra pick. We need WR OT DE OLB and RB. Pick any combination of those with the BPA and I am happy. I think IggyPride is Chris Fedor with his Weeden love.

Yeah I didn't even think about that lol where does he get this shit? I really don't know too many browns fans who would be excited with Brandon fuckin Weeden. Andrew luck? Matt barkley? Rg3? Sure. But Brandon Weeden? Puuuuuuuke

I don't think that was the point. I think the fact that they would be addressing a glaring weakness (QB) with a higher pick along with adding other playmakers, in general, was his point. Some might also get just as excited for Tannehill. Hell, I've seen people who think Tannehill is going to be a God (those people are fucking idiots, BTW).

Count me OUT on Matt Barkley. I'd be pretty happy with Luck or Griffin though.

Now THAT'S value! Don't think trading down is an option if they still hope to get him. Turn in the card!

I can see the offensive playmakers bringing excitement, but weeden or tannefail would offset any excitement.

For you and some on here maybe but I know just as many that think Weeden would be a significant upgrade over the current QB situation.

It would be split at the best. That's not creating excitement with the fanbase.

Doesn't matter. It's creating excitement for some of it which is better than none of it.

Big Greg Cosell fan, but this mock seems a bit crazy.

I saw that earlier. Nuts. Flip flopping the top picks. The #3 pick? Kalil dropping that far? Crazy.

Funny how things change day to day. They were discussing the browns moving up in the mid teens to get Floyd on knr. Before they were saying you needed to be top 8 or so

They must have been higher than Mike Adams. Although I am a big Michael Floyd fan. I would hope the Browns have a chance to get him. Would you be willing to take a shot at Alshon Jeffery in the 2nd if he's there or pass? That's if they haven't taken a WR yet. WRs that could go in the 2nd I like are Rueben Randle, Jeffery?, Chris Givens (Wake), Sanu...and I wouldn't mind a mid pick on the wr Quick from App State. There are a lot of wrs in this class who could be good picks.

That is why I hope we go T-Rich and then best OT with our first two picks. With our huge need at WR this can still give us some good talent with randle, jeffery and others with our second rounder and also staying away from weeden

Floyd was supposed to be on Bull & Fox at 5pm but one of his reps called and cancelled. They attributed it to it being Happy Hour.

FYI....Sounds like the Browns may have patched things up with Jim Brown? Sirius radio announced he would announce the #4 pick in the draft Thursday night.

Awesome, although instead of being QQ baby, he should have been at the Browns legend ceremony 2 years ago.

He was probably somewhere beating down his woman for not getting his sandwich fast enough.

Can't blame him. That is a serious offense.
