First off, you need to unblock my texts and start answering my emails. How are Bill Parcells and I supposed to advise you? And by the way, I think you should pay me whatever you pay Bill.
Anyway, I've thought about this a lot, and have decided that unless Hue Jackson likes Paxton Lynch, you should take the bird in the hand: Goff. Or Wentz.
I know that DePodesta interrogated Bill about this, and I know that Bill has a set of rules for quarterbacks. Goff passes all of them. Wentz is short on experience, I guess, but has the rest.
Lynch is right there too, for that matter.
But keep up the subterfuge. Firing the six scouts two weeks before the draft was brilliant. Did you feed them a bunch of disinformation and then fire them for real, or are they in on it and coming back after the draft?
How many minutes did it take for LaCanfora to call one of them? Will they be telling different stories or just one?
I hope you paid attention: They shouldn't all say exactly the same thing, or the non-journalists will catch on. (The media guys won't care).
Sounds like you got a trade-down story out there along with a Goff story. Excellent! The Niners or Eagles or even Cowboys might be fighting over it now!
So does this mean Hue likes Lynch? He seems to be having trouble with his texting and email too so he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I told him Lynch can be a franchise guy if he has the mental hardware. I've noticed Hue never talks about him, and none of the fired scouts do either, so I guess he does.
Listen don't screw around with it ok? Just take him at seven or eight. You've worked for the Browns long enough to know Murphy lives next door. If you don't "overdraft" him, somebody else will jump you and do it instead. Don't get too greedy.
Trade the second rounder too. You can move down up to five slots with both your top two picks. Take 2017 picks one round higher when you can. GMs are freer with those and they're money in the bank.
Don't settle for just a low first rounder for Joe Thomas. He's a generational talent with a nice contract and tread left on his tires. Get more in 2017, or else at least another third rounder for him. No a second. Definitely a second. His baseline value is at least a middle first round pick, even at 31.
If it's Goff or Wentz after all, congratulations on fooling me too. Joe and the second rounder should get you a nice haul anyway.
It's sounding like Braxton Miller is going to be there after you trade down in the second round. You've already got Pryor and Hartline to go with your microbes so just take the most talented guy. He's an Ohio State guy so no lynch mobs.
Ask Hue. He can use him all over the place as a rookie. Miller/Johnson/Pryor/Barnidge will make him happy. Nab Jerell Adams in the fourth and Kaufusi in the third.
Kaufusi can play OLB AND the five technique man! And Adams is another big safe target to bail out the quarterback--Hue does two tight end sets with the best of them!
Ok maybe Spriggs in the second...hopefully you get another second in the first trade down so you can get a left tackle and Miller both...
Anyway you guys need to get your phones and emails checked and get back to me. I can't advise you very well unless I know what you're thinking.
Severely, Me
