The least surprising move on draft day IMO? If the Browns trade up for QB Marcus Mariota. Priority No. 1 for the franchise is finding a QB

My point still stands: selling two first round picks in a winnable division, where talented offensive linemen, running backs and edge rushers would all add big value to the team at 12 and 19 is a serious risk for the second best rated QB in a relatively weak draft pool.

Tennessee would be favourite to come out as winners there, IMO.

i don't necessarily disagree

if Mariota is a franchise QB in the NFL that you can play for a decade, good move though

there are 32 teams, there are (tops) 15 franchise quarterbacks

this is why teams will do this sort of thing, each year.

then again, when Wnston's attorney says this

"he's ready to be an NFL player on the field. But he's not ready to be an NFL player off the field"

perhaps Mariota might end up going 1.

what a quote that is for the most investigated (by teams) nfl draft prospect ever

As a big follower of the Afc north it wouldn't suprise me if the Browns traded down after deciding not to chase a qb this draft.

JasonPhilCole (NFL/Beacher report) today listed the Redskins, Jets, Bears, Rams, Cleveland,& Philadelphia are all in the bidding for Mariota w/ TEN and their number 2 draft pick.

Is that Jonny Football dude no good then if the Browns want another QB?  Thought he was supposed to be a big prospect?

just coming out of rehab for alcohol problems

loved the party life, didn't like studying a playbook. with hindsight, a lot of NFL people will say they knew, so didn't draft him. that may be backfitting a justification in the light of subsequent events though, as evaluators often do in any sport

career not over, obviously, but no longer seen as a franchise starter

Rumour has it the Bengals might trade down with your cowboys tighty if Melvin Gordon is still on the board at 21.

gurley and gordon are the two first round QBs

Chargers at 17 might be the home for gurley

arizona at 24 and ravens at 26 might be the home for gordon

so logically if the cowboys want him they have to get above 24

however 6-7 of the top rbs in the draft have visted and its a very good rb draft

i would prefer not to trade up and lose picks and go with whichever of ajayi/yeldon/coleman/davis/johnson etc takes their fancy in round 2 or 3

lots of running backs will make a lot of yards behind our offensive line, not too many of our D linemen can sack the qb or many of our cornerbacks defend the top wide receivers. i hope we go defense in round 1

Ms Wozniacki has been seen out "socialising" with JJ Watt on a least a couple of occasions recently.

Time to bet on The Texans to finish bottom of the AFC South?

Jim Rome is nearly as annoying as Skip Bayless.
