I found this on CBS Sports.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/why-giants-and-dave-gettleman-control-how-the-first-round-of-the-2018-nfl-draft-unfolds/

I am more inclined to believe the Browns still control the draft.  They have 2 of the 1st for pick.  What they do will dictate what the Giants will do.

If they Take Chubbs or Barkley with the first pick.  This leaves Barkley open for NYG.

Barkley has to be the first pick.  He just has to be.  I know it's  the Browns,  but even they can't find a way not to take Barkley.  This is a KISS moment if I've ever seen one.  

 

 

 

I also expect them to make a run at AJ McCarron.

I think if you looked back to prior years, you'd find an article explaining how the team with the #2 pick actually controls the draft on almost an annual basis.

The theory generally goes that once the team at #1 has a consensus pick or narrows its focus or indicates they won't trade down or blah blah whatever, the #2 team is sitting in the driver's seat. I didn't read the above article, but it won't surprise me if it's based on some variation of that theme.

I guess every year or so this notion hits some analyst like a revelation and they believe they have a new idea, so then off we go again.

Heck, I think one that's those articles might even have been written about us the year we had that pick.

If the Browns get a FA QB, then Barkley is the shoe-in. However, the two options that they've fuged up on with Alex Smith and Captain Kirk really rule out that happening. I just don't think anyone wants to play up there and they may not have a choice but to draft a QB. They should be breaking the bank for Kirk. Or just sign Kaperneck and get it over with.

Scenarios based on the Browns doing the right thing or the smart thing rarely pan out.

You're pretty spot on about how the article reads.

In most years but because they have #4 I think they have more power on the way the draft will go.  Most mocks have them taking Darnold.  However, if they take Barkley that shakes up the top 5 all together.  Plus at number 4 they still will get a "Predicted" Franchise QB.

Is this a giants forum? Gettleman has too many fanboys for doing nothing special 

Read the article.  It isn't about Gettleman it is about how the draft might fallout based on the Giants move.  This is the offseason and though it won't affect us to much it is a conversation about the draft.

IF you don't like the thread.  DON'T COMMENT...  It is pretty simple.

Long time Brown's reporter Tony Grossi has been arguing vehemently against them taking Barkley. He believes the Browns absolutely must get the right quarterback first because they've screwed it up far too many years in a row..

He may have a point.

Draft Barkley, trade back in the first, get a tackle and a guard. Throw everything at Cousins. If that doesn't work get Keenum (or bradford and start praying for health). 

Defense gets Peppers back and year 2 and 3 for Garret, Nassib, Ogbah.

This team is seriously that close to playoffs if they get their head out of their ass.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
