Seems like a good fit. None of the QBs in this draft really jump out at me, so I'm thinking the top talents probably need to go to a team with a good O-line.

To my knowledge the Bills fit the bill. :drum:

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports the Browns will "try to trade for" Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason.

The Browns hold the Nos. 1 and 12 picks in the first round of the draft, giving them ammo over other teams that may be interested in acquiring Garoppolo. It's highly unlikely Cleveland would give up the top pick, but the 12th pick and a third- or fourth-rounder would probably get the deal done. This isn't the first time the Browns have been linked to Garoppolo and likely won't be the last. Coach Hue Jackson has said finding a quarterback of the future is his main goal.

Read that, first thought I had was, well, that's why the Browns consistently suck

The Bears, Browns, and Texans have all shown interest in Jimmy Garoppolo.

I've heard the Bears' talk on him back in week 17. Garoppolo is from a Chicago suburb.
And I recently saw a rumor that the Bears might release Cutler.

The Bears have had such bad luck with QB that I'm not sure who they should target. Landing here could be the kiss of death. Like Sam's never-ending bizzaro league.
I do like the moves that GM Ryan Pace have made so far. He seems to have a good handle on recognizing talent.


On another note I see that the Bills may be interested in Tony Romo. What does that say for Tyrod Taylor?
Romo says he wants to go to a contender like KC.
I can't see KC making an offer.
Houston says they may be interested but Romo said he doesn't want to go to Houston?


BTW, every time I hear them talk about Jimmy Garoppolo or Jimmy Butler, I can't help but think of Jimmy from Seinfeld (who talked in third person).

Anytime I hear about Jimmy Garoppolo, I immediately think of Jeanine Garafalo.

any team needing a QB would be wise to attempt to go after Garopollo over using a 1st or 2nd round pick on a college kid.
gonna agree with the pundits on this one, this is NOT the draft to reach for a QB.

Kizer and Trubisky seem relatively safe..wouldn't get real excited by either, but wouldn't be afraid of either completely busting, even if neither ends up being a stud. Watson is likely the guy that'll be the big reach..and has the most potential to be amazing, yet huge bust potential

Kizer and Trubisky

Waitaminnit...aren't these those guys who'll get you the best injury settlement bar none?

Sure, sure, I've seen those commercials...usually around 2 AM. :)

Stupid, short sighted reactions. Atlanta burns again.

Falcons fired defensive coordinator Richard Smith and defensive line coach Bryan Cox.

Even after Atlanta's Super Bowl meltdown, the moves are very surprising. Smith's young defense improved steadily over the course of 2016, while Cox's defensive line harassed Tom Brady relentlessly on Sunday before running out of gas on a whopping 93 defensive snaps, not including six penalties. Dan Quinn presumably had misgivings about both before the Super Bowl, because Smith and Cox's units played about as well as could have been hoped. With Kyle Shanahan gone to San Francisco, the Falcons will have two new coordinators in 2017.

I think Kizer and Mahomes and maybe even Trubisky are way more exciting than Watson and have more upside.
