Hopium - We might have a shot at Sewell

Oh boy we might get a LT, well whoop dee doo. 

Joe Thomas is one of the best LT to ever play and he never played in a playoff game. 

 

I’m all in on a QB over other positions but if we don’t draft one I’m ok with getting a franchise LT instead. The Browns never got a franchise qb until Mayfield. And that’s not from trying. They drafted so many qbs in the first round while Joe Thomas was there. Hopefully we are luckier. Hopefully Lance or Fields drops to us. Or we trade up to 6.

Im just saying LT is only important if you have a QB worth protecting.

The only thing he will accomplish is letting Teddy have longer to toss a 2 yard pass.

The bust rate for tackles high in the first round has not been kind to teams the last decade or so no matter how promising the prospect looks on tape. If we are throwing in the towel I would rather just take Pitts.

That's absolutely false. Tackles have the highest success rate of any position. Doesn't mean their all pro bowlers though.

In the top 10? Agree to disagree on that. I would rather add another offensive target or solidify our corner depth.

Sewell will probably be a bust. I hate taking OT in today’s NFL. Back and the good old days, it was the safe pick. You get a LT for 10 years, now majority of these guys bust. 

Dude you just have the absolute worst takes. Who’s alt are you? Just terrible…

you can find plenty of examples of game manager QB teams who did well, and even won the Super Bowl. We saw with Cam that even one hole in the OL can neutralize a great QB.

Sure, and you can find plenty of example of late round qbs panning out. Why don’t we just draft the next Tom Brady in the 6th! And maybe I’ll win the lottery! You can find examples of guys winning the lottery!

I don’t agree with his conclusion that sewell is likely a bust, but the data has changed a good bit in the past decade and top OTs aren’t as safe as they once were. That Eric fisher draft was a real poo show for OTs

He shows nothing of bust what so ever. I feel like he may be one of the best sure things in this entire draft. Anyhow, we need somebody to protect Teddy so he can throw us another 15 or so TD passes this upcoming season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
