It won't happen. I saw where that was being thrown out there, in case of (justifying) a trade down. Kind of saying Fournette is their guy. Just not at #1. Makes no sense.Crimson streak;1846969 wrote:Yeah that's not happening. Someone is just throwing bullshit out there
BTW....anyone see the stupid draft hats that they are handing out to players at the draft? No wonder Myles Garrett is staying home.
Seriously, I think every teams hats are pretty hideous.

It needs to be Garrett at #1. The only exception is a trade deal that makes the RG3 trade look reasonable.

Take this FWIW....I've seen/heard this from various sources (Browns trying to trade up from 33 for a third 1st rounder to snag a QB)....

Please no. None of the QBs in this draft will ever start a meaningful game in the NFL.BR1986FB;1846977 wrote:Take this FWIW....I've seen/heard this from various sources (Browns trying to trade up from 33 for a third 1st rounder to snag a QB)....

Gotta think the browns are just throwing out these articles to make it seem like they're not 100% on garrett (even though they are) at 1. Maybe see if someone is dumb enough to offer a crazy trade.

As I said before, I'm still not sold on him. Seems like as we get closer to the draft, more & more of these draft guys are seeing "red flags" in his game. Last season gave me no reason to believe that he's this "generational pass rusher" that many seem to be touting him as. He may very well turn out to be that good but I'm still skeptical.SportsAndLady;1847214 wrote:http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/story/_/id/19138109/cleveland-browns-considering-myles-garrett-mitchell-trubisky-no-1-pick

I will say there's no way in Hell they should be taking Trubisky at #1, like Schefter has implied. That's just talk to drive down Belichick's asking price for Garoppolo, IMO. Speaking of which....

If garrapolo gets traded it will be right before the draft or on draft night. As for Garrett, the guy is a stud. I don't have many concerns about him at all. Guy played with a high ankle sprain all season. And never missed a gameBR1986FB;1847215 wrote:As I said before, I'm still not sold on him.

That's every draft every year with extra scrutinizing. Garret is the no brainer pick at 1.BR1986FB;1847215 wrote:As I said before, I'm still not sold on him.

Only have themselves to blame. If they want to change that perception, then they need to make the right moves, simple as that. This is where COA needs to drop the "coffee is for closers" meme.BR1986FB;1847758 wrote:Ouch....

This is an easy choice; Myles Garrett. Only the Browns can screw this up.

Agreed. I see this "Haden poised to get back to the Pro Bowl" or some shit like that and I feel the same way. Talk is cheap and guys at his position fall off real fast. Haden isn't a poor tackler. Hell, I wouldn't mind them experimenting with him at safety. I'm tired of seeing him 5 yards behind Antonio Brown, watching Brown's ass waltz into the end zone.Commander of Awesome;1848711 wrote:Talk in april is fucking cheap.

It looks like the Jets want #33 (2nd) and #108 (4th) to move back and the Browns want to part with #52 (2nd) and #145 (5th) to move up. I'd be happy with #52 and #108 (Jets don't have a 4th rounder) or #33 and #145.
