Consider...

In return for the #6 overall pick that the Falcons used to draft Julio Jones, the Browns received First Round Pick #27, Second Round Pick #59 and Fourth Round Pick #124 in 2011 plus First Round Pick #22 and Fourth Round Pick #120 in 2012.  Cleveland later traded up from #27 to #21 via the Chiefs (who actually wound up picking 26th because the Ravens let their time expire).

With those picks, the Browns got...

- DT Phil Taylor (2011, #21)
- WR Greg Little (2011, #59)
- FB Owen Marecic (2011, #124)
- QB Brandon Weeden (2012, #22)
- LB James-Michael Johnson (2012, #120)

What happened to those picks?

Johnson was waived by the Browns prior to the 2013 season and picked up by Kansas City, where he still plays.

Weeden wound up benched in 2013 and released in 2014.  He's currently backing up Tony Romo in Dallas.

Marecic was also cut prior to the 2013 season.  The 49ers picked him up but he never played for them and was released again just a few months later.  He decided to retire from football and go to med school.

Little started out decent but declined and wound up released in 2014.  He spent time with the Raiders and Bengals, where he still is at the moment despite having previously been released.

And Taylor was dropped today.

 

The life of a Browns fan must be really tough.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
