I'm all for building a dynasty, slowly, from the ground up, watching a guy develop etc. But we're being rated on instant success. Oh yeah. Barkley had 1400+ yards and 10 TD's this season. Good pick In saying that, hypothetically, this time next year are all the teams up for grabs and can you pencil in the team you're picking with this year? Well, three-year success at least. This draft won't be worth much of a damn outside of personal interests to look back on until at least after the 2020 season. The normal MO the now four years this has been running is for the previous years GM's to be offered the same teams the following year. Or if there's an agreement that a guy dropped out/ pulled the Redskins etc. one year he could flip straight back to his original team the next. You'd have to contact a relevant GM to see if he'd switch teams bud. Personally speaking, I'm way too invested in Dallas for my sins to ever want to do that. Shrugs. Hail.

If they wait until four they will get the second or third best QB. The issue with that is...if the other two develop in a franchise QB, they missed on it again. You can not pass on franchise QBs over and over again. It's the most important position. You can not tell me that the trade with Eagles made the Brown's a better team. But in this parallel universe I understand with Epo us doing. Get the best player and build from that. If I were the Browns I would trade for the #2 pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, never seen the need for two separate threads bud. I barely looked at the other one the first year. And as the Commissioner noted, the mods like things all in one place. Clogs up the boards with multiple threads for one topic. Two picks. Two MAJOR surprises. I'd of laid good money on them being the other way round. But I'd always personally take a QB if I were the Giants. You don't figure on being this high again to do that. I just didn't expect that. Mad start to Round One. Hail.

klwilkins1977 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Maybe next year we can offer a prize to the GM with the lowest combined time for making picks. Speed this thing up a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilco_holland Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Personally I'm not sure about any of the top QBs. So I'm really curious to see how these guys all work out. Agree with Gibbs. Giants at two. No QB taken, you take the QB. Any other year you might need to trade a load of picks to get in this position again. Manning is not build like Tom Brady, Drew Brees or Favre. Don't see him age well in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrison J Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 With the 3rd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft the New York Jets select..... Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma With a low pick and a lot of time before my next picks I've put a lot of time into watching the QB's. Not sure if this is deemed controversial or not but Mayfield for me is the best QB in the draft and the Jets trading up in real life has forced my hand to take him this early. I haven't seen a QB with so much poise in years. Never phased by a pass rusher coming at him, stands strong in the pocket and never hesitates to pull the trigger. Amazing composure and an amazing presence on the field. Exactly the kind of franchise QB and team leader the Jets have been crying out for. The guy is going to be a star imo.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 BOOMER SOONER! Top Snr QB the draft and my favourite of them all. The most pro-ready (even for a Big 12 QB and not least in OU's O), naturally instinctive in the class. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yup, love Baker to the Jets. Feel like he just fits the city too. Hopefully he can heap misery on the Patriots for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Huh. I must be running in the wrong circles, keep seeing people being cautious about Mayfield. That being said, I like him. I dunno how quick he'll go IRL, but I would not be mad if we (as in the Skins) took him in the 1st if he fell there. Definitely one I'd like to see developed well somewhere. Darnold one of two names I expected at two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epochalypse Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Alright had time to go through the seven stages of Baker going right before I planned to pick him. No trade offers materialized in that time so let's move on. With pick #4 of the 2018 ES GMs mock draft, the Cleveland Browns select... JOSH ALLEN, QB, Wyoming I'm banking on the upside and more durability, as well as being able to function in Cleveland weather. Hue will have to earn those QB whisperer chops... @jsharrin55 and the Broncos are on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That's why you always take the QB if you're set on him. Never 'settle.' The Giants take Barkley? No harm, no foul. Add another major building block to the D to go along with the generational Garrett from last year. They still go QB? You get the top bracket RB to help out the QB. But either way, you get the QB you wanted. Now, you settle for a high ceiling, low floor guy who's very underdeveloped for the pro-level but who has an elite arm and character. Don't gamble when it comes to a potential franchise QB. Sounds contradictory possibly when I have Barkley as one of the top 2 talents in this draft, but the way Cleveland has gone around getting him at the expense of the QB they wanted is terrible to me.

Epochalypse Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Eh like I said, calculated risk. I took a gamble and lost. If you're not going to take those risks in a fake draft, where would you? But yes my hindsight is definitely clearer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 To be quite honest, I’m not sold on a single QB that has been selected so far. Don’t like Baker Mayfield at all. No way would I pick him. I don’t care that Josh Allen can sling it 80 yards Downfield. So could Jeff George & Damn McGwire. Sam Darnold is wildly overrated. *shrugs* If I’m Cleveland, I would seriously look to trade back and select Lamar Jackson. Imagine Jackson/Barkley in the option scheme. Can Jackson slide and avoid allowing himself to get crushed? He doesn’t seem to have durability issues to this point. You’re the Browns, nothing to lose!

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It's not 'hindsight.' If Dorsey did that the actual draft, he'd be starting out on seriously dodgy ground in Cleveland. After he's made some real good moves in FA to this point. You dpn't 'gamble' on the most important player on the team. And the biggest building block in Cleveland's overhaul. Now knowing you wanted Mayfield, you played that one terribly Comish IMHO. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
