They will get at least a couple back when they trade Baker

What, the third and fifth?

I’m no Mayfield fan but he plays a position that is overvalued. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them get a first for him.

One year then a free agent. Limited teams interested. Colts don't have a first. Coming off a terrible, injury marred season. Not the greatest set of circumstances.

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying that QBs are often overvalued. I saw my Birds get a 1st round pick for an already exposed Sam Bradford.

 

[tlance]

was no doubt only reason not to pick Browns was weather....I wonder if players put the full court press on him?

and, yes, no doubt we are screwed if it doesn't work out. People say this a lot and are exaggerating but we really would be set back 3-5 years.

Honestly, I said this with Baker back when extension was being discussed with him, it applies to Watson too.

If it doesn’t work, so what.

The current core probably has 3-5 years to be good anyways. Might as well bet on the personnel you got and land the best possible QB.

I wouldn’t want Washington to deal for Watson because I don’t think we are close enough to winning.

It is a gamble worth taking for Cleveland IMO.

It won’t be 2 firsts, but it will be better than that.

They didn't want Baker either tho, he wasn't part of the deal i think lol

he was not...they didn't want any players

 

[dtgold88]

How are you feeling about this? I recall you on the Rivals board in an attempt to defend the Cleveland front office that passed on Watson making the argument that Baker was comparable.

I defended passing on Watson because of a player we might get instead the next year?

I defended passing on watson because at the time the plan was get their QB in the 2018 draft which most thought was a much better QB draft....and they did get the #1 pick in that draft so the plan worked if they took the right guy.

But my thought this entire time was I trust this FO and still do. It's not a slam dunk for reasons mentioned and has risks.

 

[dtgold88]

...and here's how the Browns got back on his radar

yep. and?

Seen everywhere from 1st to 5th. Think we should do much better than a 5th. 1st would be a surprise but not a shock. My guess is 2nd and 4th.

Of course not...which was why the Browns made this move.

No question a gamble we needed to take if no belief in Baker....maybe even if they did believe in him (but not nearly to the level of watson).

Just hoping the suspension isn't too long but who knows (hopefully AB does).

The Bengals and Browns are going to battle it out for first place in the North.

The Ravens will take a step back and finish in 3rd and the Steelers will be in last place.

lol

Hope he gets fined.

The refs didn't cost USC that game...scoring 20 points in the first half and committing a foul with 3 seconds left when your big has the shot blocked cost USC that game.

Damn John CLayton passed away

Again, Rodgers and Adams seemed to get along quite well from public perception. I haven't seen too many people outside of Greg Jennings criticize Rodgers. I also don't see Adams being too pissed off with Rodgers when he has arguably the best QB in the league throwing to him. Adams' ire seems to be more with the organization as they seemed to have tried to short change him and it's likely he sees how the Packers were ran in terms of free agency and drafting where they haven't been the best. Again - Rodgers' play, you could argue, actually propelled them well beyond their capability. You put in an average NFL starting QB in place, and they're likely more middle of the pack in that division.

I agree

and i know Adams is a great wide receiver- but i wonder if he is just this amazing top wr. Playing with Rodgers can make you look pretty damn good

I mean I have no doubt Adams is awesome- but 28 million a year awesome? Best receiver in football awesome? i have my doubts. Giving a receiver that money seems kinda nuts.
