JOHNNY MANZIEL IS STILL AVAILABLE!!!
Sorry. Anyway the final draft order and further analysis has presented new issues with the draft.
Behind the Browns are the 49ers, Bearss, and Jagwires. I think the Bears "need" for a quarterback is Memorex Moron stuff, since Barkley looks just fine. But the other two teams will definitely be quarterback-hunting, along with the Jets at 6.
There are three top quarterbacks in this draft, none of which is deemed (for now) to be as good as Goff and Wentz.
Now, Jimmy Garopollo, AJ McCarron, Tony Romo, and maybe even Jay Cutler could change this scenario, as any team that grabs one is no longer likely to use their top pick on another one.
For the Browns, only Garopollo is worth it.
Romo is very old and unhealthy. Any team that trades for him loses not just draft picks, but also has to pay his whale of a contract. Only a real contender, like the Broncos, would want to take this on. A team that needs more work and general talent should not even think about it.
McCarron proved some things in relief of Andy Dalton last season, and has more real experience than Garopollo. One of the teams listed could well go after him. The Browns will not, as except from being a little bigger and taller, McCarron is Kessler, and we already got one of those.
I can break a rule here and assume stuff for the sake of argument, namely that the Bengals will trade McCarron and the Patriots Garopollo.
All of these teams can trump the Browns twelvth overall pick in bidding on Garopollo, and I seriously doubt that the Browns would use their first overall pick on him. He is Tom Brady's backup. Not Tom Brady.
Without getting too deep in the weeds here, it might just shake out so that the Browns could move down to the Titans fifth overall slot, and pick up their second rounder and some change, because they could still then draft one of the top three quarterbacks.
Oh, calm down! They won't do it unless Hue Jackson deems the quarterback as worth the sacrifice, and if he's not stuck on only one of them.
Tennessee has improved a lot, and is on the verge of contention. They wouldn't draft this high without the pick they acquired from the Rams. A Myles Garrett could get them to the Superbowl.
It probably won't happen anyway, so relax.
But they might use the first overall pick on a quarterback.
Haha that was fun, but I really mean it so have your tantrum (I'll wait................)
Well, RG3 has steadily improved, and by the Steelers game was making Hue Jackson look pretty smart. Because he is made of fine crystal, he can't be "the answer", but he can run the offense and win games as long as he lasts.
Kessler will compete with him next season, and I wouldn't predict a winner here. At any rate, the Browns will be two deep with guys who can win with some talent around them. They're not going to contend in 2017 anyway, so that's fine.
That means a second-tier, talented but sloppy project quarterback could be taken a little later in the draft.
Then, of course, the Browns would draft the one man wrecking crew first overall. Not the other guy who is bigger and slower. Garrett.
And later, maybe in the second round, a guy like Matt Kelly. Kelly got in trouble a couple tears ago, but has been a good boy while at Ole Miss (a good ole boy? Sorry).
He likes rapping, but hopefully doesn't imitate black guys and make an ass of himself.
He was dismissed from Clemson for conduct detrimental to the team. Later, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and did 50 hours of community service.
He's a gunslinger who sometimes throws dumb passes, and he holds the ball too long. He locks onto his primary receiver too much.
But he kicks butt in Bowl games, hung 341 yards and four TDs on Alabama, and has racked up impressive numbers vs excellent secondaries.
I offered more info in an earlier entry, but will mention again that Hue Jackson and company might get to coach him at the Senior Bowl. If not, at least they can talk to him and watch him.
Personally, I just don't know. DeShaun Watson was soooo impressive vs Ohio State...and he's a quarterback...but what would Garrett do to him....except he could get away from him and...I don't know
