My team is owned by Dan Snyder, so I feel your pain. All the Browns have to do is pick Barkley, Chubb, Fitzpatrick, Nelson, Payne, Kay, James or even Darnold or Rosen and not draft Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield. How hard can that be?

We're actually really good at guard :smith:

Adding Barkley, Fitzpatrick and Chubb would be huge though, and the Browns can likely get two of those three. Garrett and Chubb would be a nice tandem.

Browns should just draft QBs

Two former Cleveland coaches (Belichick Saban) have won 11 national Championships since the media and people of Cleveland chased them away. Imagine what would have happened if the media, people and owner of Cleveland had stuck by their guys and today there were not a Patriots dynasty but a Browns dynasty.

If you think about it, maybe 1 win in 32 games for the Cleveland Browns is actually a very impressive feat few coaches could pull off.

I was at a conference all weekend so I couldn’t watch live, is there recorded video of the parade anywhere?

Also has anyone from the Browns organization recognized the charity aspect of the parade in any way or offered a donation?

No, the closest we've had is some players bitching about how REAL FANS wouldn't do this.

They have two picks in the top five in what is a pretty strong draft. The probability of not loving up those two picks is pretty good by chance alone.

The last time they had two picks in the first round and decided to use one on a QB, everyone also thought they wouldn't gently caress it up completely

They proceeded to pick Gilbert and Manziel

Don’t forget they traded down and then up to get Gilbert. Odell Beckham was drafted right after, with the team fully aware Josh Gordon was getting suspended the next day for a year.

The Browns had multiple first round picks in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2017. In two of those years they spent a first rounder on a QB, and in a third they spent a second rounder on one. In 2016 they technically didn't have two first round picks, but they had the 32nd overall due to the Patriots forfeiting their pick, but in any other year the 32nd overall would be a first round pick, so this is their 5th straight year with Might As Well Be 1st Round picks.

They went 0-16 last year.

This is exactly why I never buy into the "look at all the draft picks they have, what a great situation for <new coach/GM> to come into" garbage. None of this matters, because regardless who is out there to pick, the wrong player is always chosen.

Did they? I thought the whole story going around at the time is that the NFL screwed us by not announcing the Gordon suspension before the draft. I guess the team actually knew and was too stupid to act on it is what you're saying?
