I'm pretty sure at least 5 people on here said that same thing when he was drafted. I agreed with that as well. It really did seem like they were so set on Wright and when he was taken they just were in a mass panic and took Weeden.Commander of Awesome;1519050 wrote:Was reading this on another forum "I also read many times that we ended up with Weeden because we were so set on Wright we had no backup pick in that range. Tenn wasn't expected to take him and it caused mass chaos and a huge reach."
Anyone else read/hear this?

Hundley will not fall out of the top 3 if he comes out. Book It.

copy and pasted from the cavs thread since i am a retard....I heard an interesting question the other night on KNR. Would Indy have been better off trading that number 1 overall pick to the Browns for their entire draft (since that was rumored to be on the table)? Would 3-5 more years of Peyton and all those picks been worth giving up on the next "big thing"? I thought it was interesting just because with Peyton, they may have been the odds on favorite to win it this year. Also, the Browns would obviously been screwed since that meant no Trent or no Brandon...lol

I asked this same question a few weeks ago and I think Indy would have def been better off. An entire draft, or browns next 3 1st round picks plus manning = at least one SB IMO.

yeah, that is my thinking...Luck is very good, but Manning really would have put them in position to win another SBCommander of Awesome;1520831 wrote:I asked this same question a few weeks ago and I think Indy would have def been better off.

On top of that, if that site thinks that our new regime will take a RB in the 1st round with the pick that we traded a RB to get, then they are retarded.Commander of Awesome;1519822 wrote:http://football.realgm.com/src_article/2342/20131018/2014_nfl_mock_draft_version_11/

I definitely see a QB in the 1st round, but if we still have the 2nd pick (could see trading both to get up to the QB they want) it would/should be a guard or 2nd corner.

Remember all that "Hey we're in first place!" talk? That was only two weeks ago but it seems like years doesn't it?

@AdamSchefter: At least 3 teams have contacted Browns about deal for WR Josh Gordon; two have standing offers of a high pick and a player. Browns balking.

Mallet and a 1st, 2nd...hell even a 3rd. Gordon has been an asshole on the field the last two weeks. Over his shit.

I'd trade Gordon all day for a first rounder. He is lazy, doesn't block on run plays, and barely tried in GB. Not sure he's worth all of the risks. I'm sure a lot here disagree but a first gets it done for me.

to his credit, he has been under a lot of pressure, but when he has had the chance to make a throw, his accuracy has been horrible.Ironman92;1521631 wrote:I know learning a new complex system is tough but he's been terrible.
