How Does Johnny Football Figure Into This Years Draft?



With the NFL Draft fast approaching your Cleveland Browns are faced with another slew of challenges (and by challenges I really mean a giant shit storm of problems).

It is beyond obvious that GM Ray Farmer is clueless on how to build a team through the draft and all the corner office suits are so inept at there positions that we can't even get any decent free agents to visit let alone sign here.

The Browns are currently picking 12th and 19th in the first round. Depending on the mock draft the Browns could be doing anything from trading up with Tennessee to draft Marcus Mariota or just turning in a blank card on draft day.

For once, the Browns should only do one of two things. One: Stay at both 12 and 19 and draft the best available player or your "big board" at those spots. We basically suck at every position but LT, C, and one CB spot. Bolster your roster from top to bottom, add depth, play makers, make smart decisions. If the QB you want is not going to be available, don't force another to be the face of the franchise. Farmer beyond royally screwed us on Gilbert and Manziel last year. I can't even begin to gauge how may years this set us back...again. Two: If you are going to get an offer for the 12th pick to trade down it better be a good one. We currently have 10 picks now but an extra two couldn't hurt.

Getting Brian Hartline and Dwayne Bowe are OK additions but they are not long term answers and are not the "big play" bodies we desperately lack on this roster. Let pretend we are the Lions from a few years ago and just start drafting a WR with our first pick each year. Remember Charles Rodgers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams and Megatron?

I will say even though head coach Mike Pettine was far from the organizations top choice to run this team I feel he is the right man for the job. Too bad he probably wont last to year three of his contract because of Big Jim and his God Complex. Sorry I meant Jerry Jones complex.

Next post I will share my wish list for draft weekend.

2018 NFL Draft Cleveland Browns Preview

***UPDATE #2*** Per RotoWorld and Jordan Raanan of ESPN: Rumor has it that the NY Giants are only willing to spend the 2nd overall pick in April's draft for a QB if it were going to be Sam Darnold. Read More    Browns also made another move in for the secondary by signing CB EJ Gaines. Read More. **UPDATE** As many of you have probably already scene. The NY Giants traded DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Really, three things could happen here. Giants draft a QB or Barkely. They could still trade out with Buffalo or another sneaker team that no one is aware of yet. Finally, and what seems to now make the most sense, they draft DE Bradley Chubb in place of JPP's vacancy.   Who will be the one? Just weeks away from the 2018 NFL Draft and our beloved Cleveland Browns find themselves again picking high in Round 1.  At this point, with the New York Jets trading up to the #3 spot it looks like this draft could be shaking u...
