Ladies and gentlemen, the Cleveland Browns

Browns considering Mitch Trubisky with #1 pick

Not to slam Trubisky, but is there really a good argument for him going #1 overall?

Watched him at UNC and thought he has the potential to be a franchise QB. Not saying he is a lock to be but I believe he will be in the right situation. Not sure the Browns are that situation lol. He is from around Cleveland as well. Would suck for Cleveland if he goes to another team and is very successful and they miss out on not only a franchise QB AGAIN but a guy from their area. The problem with UNC was not their offense it was their defense. Injuries did hurt the offense as well, however, like when Mack Hollins went down. Hollins was a legit deep threat and tall at that.

Cleveland had #1 and #12, in-between 3 QBs could get drafted. They should take the best player on their board, then have deals in place to move up form 12 to land their favorite QB. Panthers at #8, we've done business last year.....

 

Fyi panthers are going crazy about 4 out of 98, Cleveland has 4 out of 65 in this deep draft.

This is good news. The more qbs taken early the better for us.

Its been known in league circles that Cleveland loves Trubisky since at least mid November.

Its not just smoke and in their defense its not just post season inflation.

If he's a franchise QB, or even just a good QB, it's not a reach for a team desperate for someone decent under center like the Browns are. They've got to be praying they can pick a good one, then have a coach that can do something with him.

Even so, they are a couple of years away from relevance. But stars on offense win games, particularly QBs, and a passable defense can be put together on the fly and filled in later. Cam first, the next year Luke, for example.

Panthers still get Fournette/Howard.

Actually, I've been hearing a lot of Browns fans rather wanting the Browns to get a QB than getting Myles Garrett.

This doesn't seem too far-fetched at all.

I called this in the thread about who will fall in the first.  Again, if anyone can screw up a sure fire #1 overall draft pick, it's the Browns.

As a UNC alum, I honestly thought Trubisky was unimpressive.  He made a lot of boneheaded plays and to me, Williams had more command over the offense in his time as a starter than Trubisky did in his.

Trubisky over someone like Myles Garrett though?

You'd have to have a pretty impressive argument to talk me into that.

Shocking that a four year starter had more command over the offense than a first year starter, right?

Trubisky's accuracy is phenomenal.

I hope the Browns pass on him simply because I'm curious to see how he'll do in the NFL and Cleveland is an NFL graveyard and a dumpster fire of an organization.

Brownies love their hometown boys...hopefully if this happens, hes their next Kosar...

Garrett isn't turning that team around. A QB has a chance to.
