Wouldn't it be nice if the Browns were picking top 3 and the pick wasn't theirs?

He did in college as well. Wasn't careful with the football, not accurate, not a great arm, doesn't deal with pressure well, #12 overall pick? LOL

Their def was great on Sunday, no doubt about it.

Imagine the morning before the 2004 draft, and someone told you Ben Roethlisberger would become the winning-est QB at FirstEnergy Stadium. I bet you guys would have been pretty excited....

Tonight's why I didn't have Vikings as a winnable game. And they're not if they play like this.

It's usually folly to try to predict how good teams are based on the prior year, even including whatever you think of their offseason moves. There are some perennially good and bad teams (a lot having to do with QB). But the remaining 2/3 of the league is an up and down guessing game.

Well, I mean, it's kind of the point of a message board to predict what teams will do and have general sports discussion.

They also have the Browns at 31. So the best team in the league needed a blocked punt for a TD to beat the 2nd worst team in the league. Great logic.

Yea, this doesn't make much sense to me. They didn't look like a powerhouse at all on offense, defense looked good but also undisciplined.

It said they got the top spot by "default" but I would've had Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City and a few others, ahead of them.
