I like what i've seen from Kaaya. I feel like he's worth a 2nd round pick and could be a decent starter early on. Too bad he's fron the ACC and probably trash

I really like Kaaya and have him as my best QB right now which is sad because I think he's a late 2nd rounder in most drafts.

Rotoworld is saying that the 12th overall pick and a 3rd or 4th should get it done.

There is no way Jimmy G is worth a first rounder. Jimmy G+another draft pick is most likely. People were flipping out when Bradford was overpaid for and he was at least a competent QB this year, there is no history with Garrapolo. If I were Cleveland I wouldn't overpay at all, make someone else do it and get Romo or Cutlers corpses draft and develop QBs.

If they feel he's better than anyone in this QB class, he's worth a first rounder. Remember, Cleveland has #1, #12 and #33 so they could easily end up with 3+ 1st round picks after trades.

Part of the reason he's would be worth a first rounder is if he were cheap for another 2 years. He only has 1 more year left. Whereas you could pick a building block at 12, for a team that has so many needs, and keep them for 4 years cheapish. It's going to be way better to hope and try to sign Garrapolo to a FA contract.

The best ways to approach it would require a little hope, but really HOPE that the Pats hang on to him and then he hits FA. He would probably get a massive deal. Or that he goes to a new team and walks. I mean really at this point Kirk loving Cousins would be a better option. Wait for him to not get paid by the Redskins. I just think it's stupid to trade that much for a guy that has shown so little.

On the other hand, are they just supposed to roll with RG3/Kessler and probably lose 13-14 games or roll the dice on what might be a good starter? Same difference as drafting someone, and the Browns have a ton of cap space so the salary overhead isn't a huge concern.

If the Pats believe he's a good starter they wouldn't let him get away. That or it would cost a lot more than the exorbitant 1st & 4th or whatever they're claiming they want in return as an opening position.

Yeah Brady looks like he can play until he's 50 right now but so did Favre the year before it was over.

No QB with 1 year on his rookie deal is garnering a pick in the teens. Even the Browns wouldn't do that. Garoppolo has also arguably proven the least of the available trades.

Maybe 31/32 + G for the 12 and a mid round pick would be an OK value.

Brady is on serious chemicals and takes his conditioning way more seriously than Favre ever did.

Do not trade for Jimmy G. The 12th pick could get you a good starter on defense or the o-line. If I'm the Browns I would much rather take my chances on whoever is around in the 2nd at QB whether its Kaaya, Kizer, or even Allen from Montana.

Speaking of QBs, is Patrick Mahomes any good? I've seen his name pop up in different discussions but I'm also seeing him rated as just a late round project with terrible mechanics.

Reaching for a QB, be it Garappolo or someone in the high/mid-first, seems like a wasted opportunity for the Browns. See which raw QB with potential is available in the 2nd or later, pick up BPA in the first, and use 2017 to continue accumulating assets and rebuilding Raiders-style. The QBs in the 2018 draft surely can't be a worse batch than this years, and they have so many holes that they can't afford to use multiple picks to move up for a project.

He's the toolsiest of tools guys, I love him as a developmental pick. He's probably going to rise up way higher than he should go and not get the chance to sit and develop though, he's going to need time. In addition to everything air raid his footwork in particular is just completely awful, and his arm is good enough that he sees no problem throwing off his back foot across his body, which isn't going to fly at the next level and frankly got him into trouble at Tech way too often.

There's a quote I can't find right now from Patrick Mahomes Sr (his dad, who is a character himself) about one of Aaron Rodgers ridiculous throws: "Holy poo poo there's only two guys on the planet that can make that throw, and I'm proud to say my son is one of those motherfuckers." He might be more right than wrong, the problem is Mahomes is willing to try that poo poo constantly with not great mechanics. The good news is most of his stuff is in theory fixable with good coaching and time to learn.

e: Put it this way, I want the Chiefs to draft him, but if they do I want Alex Smith to finish out his contract that ends after 2018.

Their past scouts and GMs made some woefully bad decisions when it came do determining the "safe bet", and reached on Manziel and Weeden among other poor selections. However, it would be too results-oriented to look at that and conclude that it's time to gamble their assets on Jimmy f'n G. If they go BPA and other teams reach on the meager list of QBs (as it currently stands, we'll see how the hype goes in the coming months) then they'll trot out another reclamation project and 3 of the top 33 picks (barring some trades).

Brady Quinn was widely considered a safe bet and that didn't work out so well either.

With so much draft capital I don't see how anyone can throw bones at the Browns for trading a mid round first for a QB if they believe in that player.

I guess the quibble is: on what is their (hypothetical) belief in Jimmy G based? Sure, he looked good, in all two games he's played in. Even Matt loving Cassel started in 15 games before the Chiefs traded for him.
And his price was a 2nd round pick(the Chiefs also got Vrabel).

You watch mahomes and he could do basically anything. That tech team was good because of him and bad because their defense would give up 50+ points regularly.

quote:

Appearing on ESPN's NFL Insiders Thursday, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said "our top runner cannot be our quarterback."

Jonathan Stewart was technically the Panthers' "top runner" in 2016, but remained injury prone and mostly a grinder. J-Stew has averaged 3.94 yards per carry over the past two seasons, and is going on 30. The Panthers need new juice in their backfield, and could be a candidate to select a running back on Day 1 of the draft. Rotoworld's Josh Norris mocked the Panthers LSU's Leonard Fournette in his first mock draft last month.
