Panthers wanted Trey Lance in the first if they were going to take a QB. Also they had Kellen Mond ranked higher than Justin Fields after working with him in the senior bowl ,he was going to be the our first pick day 2 if not picked by the Vikings once that happened it started the whole trading down game because then it was about getting Sam weapons and protection because at the point they had to be all in. I hear this from a source who is close to one of the members in the war room. Also he said the bears was the only team close to offering what the Panthers wanted for the 8th but moving to back to the 20th would have had us picking a decent player but maybe not a player that could come in and have same projected impact as horn.....a lot of it makes sense but again maybe we may never exactly know how it went down.

They did joke about pickled eggs in Fargo.  When I heard that, I thought, "And there it is--the dead giveaway."

I like the way it turned out.  Darnold is going to ball out.

Every team wants players that other teams get.  No evidence behind your theory, but it is your right to share it.  Thanks.  I love this part of the draft--the after the fact drama etc.

Mond was taken at the top of the third round and we traded UP to select Christensen 4 picks later.

No dice.

I think it makes sense we were waiting for him to drop to us and be patient or move up when he was a bit closer, but our first day 2 pick was on Terrace when Mond was still there. So yeah I have hard time buying it too

Yeah that made no sense. We had already  traded down our first pick of the second day.  Mond, as you said, was taken after that.

If we wanted a corner, we could’ve traded down with Chicago and still ended up with Farley or Newsome.

Yeah I get Horn is the #1 on our board but it’s hard to know Chicago offered us next years 1st. That’ll be a top 8 pick next year

i think the moment we gave darnold the 5th year option was the moment that we were officially out of the QB market...although i suspect that we were probably out of it before but let the thought linger in the air as a smokescreen.

Chicago gave NYG their 1st next year. If an offer was given to Carolina, I’m sure next year’s 1st was on the table. 

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. It’s tough knowing they offered next years first plus some and we turned it down. Not saying we made the wrong choice, who knows but that Chicago 1st next year could potentially be Sam Howell if darnold ends up not working out… they should be pretty bad this year

      You know what's worse about the QB situation?

      I liked Sanders field reading abilities in general but his ceiling is fairly low and his shenanigans as a pro are, quite frankly, bizarre.  I don't think he is doing himself any favors by being a distraction while also being buried on the depth chart. Don't get me wrong, the media would attempt to make him a distraction regardless but it's not smart to feed into it when you aren't having a role at all. This can also be said of XL, BTW. We are no stranger to this. It's a lot easier to excuse Cam dressing like a deleted scene Harry Potter character at press conferences when he is looking like a man among boys on the football field.

      I hear Huddlers throwing things similar about Sanders whenever his name comes up, but to put it bluntly, we don't know that to be true. What we do know is that plenty of Browns fans thought that Sanders had the best camp out of the bunch, notwithstanding not being given the opportunity to play with the ones. What has been reported is that Dillon Gabriel is Stefanski's guy, and Andrew Berry thought that Sanders should be prioritized (even if it meant that he would eventually trade Sanders due to Sanders having more value). The fact that many Browns fans preferred (and prefer now) Sanders, and that there was a split---or difference of opinion between Stefanski and Berry, isn't really up for debate. It's true.  What this all means, at the end of the day, is that we don't know how Sanders compares to Hooker or anyone else because he really hasn't had an opportunity to play for whatever reasons.

      I don't think with a roster this bad we should be spamming picks at subpar QB's for development purposes. When the roster is a little more fleshed out, I would fully support that. Also, with our persistent evaluation problems, I can only imagine who we would have likely overdrafted in the past few years.
