I like Rosen much better than Darnold, I wouldn't take Sam with the LAST pick in the draft. Baker is NOT Johnny Manziel. Manziel was a no class, first class idiot. His failure was as certain as the sun. Mayfield is competitive... But, he's not stupid. He'll work hard. And Doc, I promise you: NO ONE will ever wipe that smirk from His face. It's permanent. He's just wired that way. You can wipe him out on one play, he's right back at you on the next. I think he's going to be a good NFL QB..... Just as soon as he leaves Cleveland. :-) He is short and ..... He is accurate Baker is 1" TALLER than Drew Brees. Time will tell whether he can ever look anything like Drew in the NFL.

Cleveland 'Browns' it up again. I'm a Buckeye fan and even I think Ward was a stretch at 4. He is a kid from Northeastern Ohio so maybe that factored into it, I don't know. But they could have had Bradley Chubb - who has been compared to mix between Mack and Von Miller - but took Ward. I also think they should have taken Barkley #1 and a QB at #4 - they still may have gotten Baker depending on who the Jets preferred. The Giants weren't going to take a QB. I know people say you shouldn't waste high picks on RB's - all I know is backs who can also catch the ball are a premium and generally lead to a team that makes the playoffs - Bell at Pittsburgh, Elliott in Dallas, Gurley in LA, Kamara in New Orleans - Barkley is rated higher than any of them. Plus it takes pressure off the young QB - look what Elliott's presence did for Prescott his rookie year and how 'well' he performed when Zeke was suspended. I think the Browns whiffed but I don't like the Browns so I'm somewhat happy! I thought the Browns did ok...they are trending up. Wouldn't surprise me if they were 8-8 next year tough to gain ground in such a competitive division You were ahead of the curve on Jacksonville and I tip my hat to you for that. If Cleveland goes 8-8 this year I will eat my hat.

I agree Baker does not look like Manziel. He is short and not very fast so his mobility won’t work as well in the NFL. He will have to adjust to getting the ball out of his hands quicker. He is accurate and accuracy seems to be something you have or you don’t. I’m sure constant coaching helps them all with the finer points but Baker starts ahead of the pack which is great. Cleveland will need to shore up the OLine with Joe Thomas getting long in the tooth or Baker will be another name on their long fail list. CB was just as critical as QB so they were forced to pass on Chubb. Denver was smart to scoop him up without hesitation. Cleveland 'Browns' it up again. I'm a Buckeye fan and even I think Ward was a stretch at 4. He is a kid from Northeastern Ohio so maybe that factored into it, I don't know. But they could have had Bradley Chubb - who has been compared to mix between Mack and Von Miller - but took Ward.

I think the Browns whiffed but I don't like the Browns so I'm somewhat happy! Cleveland drafts remind me of swimming to the bottom of the ocean to put a patch on The Titanic. Twice they pass over the best defender in the draft. Two chances to put together a DLine which would strike fear in opposing QBs. Oh well, keep patching that wreck.
