Insiders Believe Josh Allen Goes #1 Overall To Browns

[Fountain City Blues]

My god that would be the ultimate Browns pick.

 

[DefCONNOne]

The insiders I listen to are saying it's Darnold at 1.

 

[Ojb81]

 

[broncosmitty]

He should be the #1 pick.


All will depend on who wants to pay for him.


They should draft another QB at 4 just to fuck with people.

 

[handicappers]

I've got several contacts in Cleveland area and they are telling me that Browns will for sure take a QB at number #1.

You heard it here first.

 

[NinerSickness]

One way or another, they'll f**k this pick up.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I hope its Allen... Because that would be a very Browns thing to do.

"Let's take another raw QB prospect and throw him into the fire, setting him up for failure, and expect him to be a miracle worker... mmkay?"

Man, if the Browns could hit on a stud QB at #1 and then pick up Barkley at 4 and he is as good as people think they could finally turn this whole thing around and win a Supe...Who am I kidding...that's not happening...Their QB will flame out and Barkley will probably tear his ACL be the Pats backup in 2 years

I really doubt that Barkley falls to #4. Just me though. Can't wait to see that guy in the NFL.

...You do realize that whoever gets taken at #1 is going to be third string on the QB depth chart, right?

 

[SteelersPride]

i hear nothing but nothing but darnold

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I highly doubt that... He may start the season as QB2, but it won't be for long. You know as well as I do that Hue has his job on the line this season.

So the smart thing would be to bench the veteran Taylor, who just took the hapless Bills to the playoffs? You're reaching here. Hue has 0 reason to push any rookie QB into the starting lineup. Considering Dorsey drafted Mahomes last year with the purpose of sitting him for a year, there's no reason at all to think he'd pressure Hue to start a rookie. No basis to this line of thinking whatsoever.

Well you may be right, but it doesn't have to be all about pressure. Banking on Taylor holding down the position for a full 16 games is risky enough. Whether it be a benching, or an injury, I think the QB2 is destined to see the field sooner rather than later.

Why? He started the majority of the last 3 years in Buffalo, and his benching last year had nothing to do with his performance, and it was quickly shown to be the wrong move. Also, having a QB get injured resulting in a rookie starting is hardly the mark of just the Browns. It happens all over the NFL. The problem last year is that they had no talent at QB to start over Kizer. If Taylor was there, Kizer would likely have no started a game.

He hasn't proven anything yet except that he tested well at the combine.

But if you had the choice between Darnold, Rosen & Allen as your QB2... You would take Allen, the much more raw candidate out of the 3, and not consider that a "Browns thing to do"?

My point is... If the intention is to take a QB at #1 overall, then why not take the best candidate for the job?

 

[Clayton]

Rumors had Dorsey going after Paxton Lynch and he did trade up for Mahomes.

Dorsey likes a project and upside. I just think Darnold also fits his mold and he'd get less backlash picking him.

 

[Iggloo]

I fully expect it to be Darnold. And yes, he will sit his first year, or half of it. That's actually a smart thing to do for most rookie Qbs. Throwing them in is a mistake.

I don't think any of these QBs should be considered anything but "raw". They've all got flaws that should keep them out of any starting lineup for most of the season. I'd personally rather take Darnold, but I understand taking Allen. He's going to have a year to sit and learn. His ceiling is the highest in this draft class, without a doubt. Honestly, I trust Dorsey. He's got a proven track record and if he likes what he sees from Allen, I'm fine with it.
