Cleveland swaps with Rams to move up to #2 and secure Watkins and take Carr at #26 (not a fan, but he'll probably be the best QB option by that point)

Shazier to Cincinnati

let's play a little game...who are the quarterbacks you'd want as a Brown and when would you be OK taking them? I'll start

Johnny Manziel 1st (4th or 26th)
Teddy Bridgewater 1st but not at 4
Derek Carr 2nd
Zach Mettenberger 3rd
David Fales 5th
Stephen Morris 6th

No more like over a player who took an entire year off because he didn't want to be there. If Houston is bad, is he still going to be a once in a generation player?

He has physical abilities capable of making him a star. Houston sucking is immaterial; good players do play for bad teams

Heard Watkins likes the ganja too much for the Browns to want to have him around Gordon.

I really hope the Browns stay away from Carr
Couldn't agree more.

He's a born loser, like his brother. Hate the bloodlines.

Then again it is the loser gene that is probably why Cleveland's brass is reportedly enamored with him. God forbid we bring a winner in here.

Yes Iggy, the reason David Carr sucked was because of his "loser gene" and not because of having to play behind one of the worse offensive lines in NFL history for his first few seasons.

Does anyone think of Skip Bayless and his stupid "clutch gene" spiel when they read IQQY's "loser gene" post?

Congrats IQQY, you reminded me of Skip Bayless

The Evans > Watkins rumor coming out recently is true. I heard about it a couple of months ago and farmer really likes Evans. That said the most likely outcome at 4 is jff or Mack/ other defense

I like Evans but I'm afraid how he never lined up anywhere but right of the QB and by himself on the right hand side.

So, what is everyone's best and worst case scenario?

Best: We draft one of the following at 4 Mack/Robinson/Clowney, and one of the three Bortles/TBW/JFF drops to 26. Hopefully it is either Bortles or TBW just to see FW cry like a bitch and no longer be a Browns fan.

Worst Case: We draft Carr at 4. As OB said a few weeks ago, I would consider taking a year off from the Browns if they did this.

Honorable mention worst case: We trade up 2 fucking spots for any player let alone Watkins.


Also, I know nobody gives a fuck about FW and IQQY's best/worst case scenario, so I did it for them...

Best: Draft JFF, and trade the rest of our picks and however many future draft picks to get Watkins.

Worst: Anything that is not the best case scenario.
