LOCKED: Browns BS Drama Continued...

I'm no Allen fan but these tweets were supposedly from when he was 13 years old. Don't know about you but I don't know many 13 year old's who haven't said a lot of stupid stuff.

Yeah, I meant that in the sense I am not a fan of people digging up old ass tweets/posts of teenagers.

1. The media is trash for waiting until the day before/of the draft to release tweets that they've known about for weeks/months.

2. He needs to fire his agent immediately. There is absolutely no excuse for not scouring his entire social media history and purging any potentially problematic content.

3. I'm really glad I grew up before the days of social media.

 

I still have some posts that come up from when I was a freshman in college and delete very quickly lol.  I pray nobody ever gets a hold of my fraternity's listserv...

I can’t imagine anyone really caring about those tweets

Probably not.  Incognito has dropped the N bomb numerous times and his teammates love him.

Also, as mentioned, have this sick feeling in my gut, that Chubb is going to be sitting there at 4 and they are going to trade down.

I would be pissed,  but that wouldn't make me sick.  Picking Barkley over Chubb would make me sick.

Hue learns the draft board, leaks start to come out.

Maybe Dorsey just lies to Hue and said Mayfield 

I hope you're right.

I agree but man Chubb would look awesome paired with Garrett. They have other areas of need but it would kind of be a little deflating if they traded down to Buffalo at 12 and took an O-Lineman (McGlinchey) or CB (Ward). I know, they need a LT but there are only about 6-7 guys in this draft that are considered elite talents. Would love to have three 1st's this year and two 1st's next year (via Buffalo-one 1st in 2019) but also want that impact talent now.

If we trade raped down and got McGlinchey I could live with that.  Not my first choice though.

My prime suspect in the Allen thing is Elway.

I'd love it if Elway were in love with Allen and would trade up to 4 with Chubb still on the board (assuming the Browns would take him).

@AdamSchefter

Browns continue to keep the decision on their No. 1 pick a secret, but there is a mounting belief from HCs and GMs around the league that Cleveland will take Baker Mayfield.

That’s just people guessing what Dorsey is gonna do. Just rumors at this point. No one knows what he’s going to do tonight. Those types are rumors are just going to get louder today.

If he loves Allen, he has no need to move up

Is there anything stopping the Browns from announcing their pick right now?

I feel like there is now a rule against it, but I could be wrong.  I remember the Texans announced they signed Mario Williams the day before the draft.

The 17 TV networks broadcasting the draft wouldn't be too happy about announcing the pick in advance.

it's all for clicks. "Browns to draft Darnold" isn't getting you clicks today. 

If I were a GM and had the 1st pick I would absolutely announce it early if there was little to no disciplinary action involved. Just to screw with the media.

Shefter on twitter said he thought other teams leaked the Allen tweets to try and get him to fall. Either way, droppin' N bombs is a bad look, and he should know that at 6 yrs old.

Was that before or after the salary cap for designed spots?  I remember the signability thing was huge before that came into play.

Saw a hilarious tweet that said those tweets Allen sent as a 13 year old were the move offensive production he’s ever generated. Lol

Browns should draft Baker based on his re-creation of this pic. 

I Love my cavs huh?

His HS team was the Lake Travis Cavaliers but it does get the conspiracy theorists going. lol

So the Mayfield hype train is literally in full force. But some NFL execs seem to still not believe it. 4 more hours. Interesting pick if it is him. 

Do Giants or Jets want Baker? Could Browns be trying to create a bidding war?
