Yeah, that is going to sting. At this rate, it may end up being in the 40 range.

I hope things turn around, but right now we don't have a 2nd round pick this year because we traded it for a bust QB and we don't have a 3rd round pick because we traded it for a basket case CB who can't even get a jersey. I mean, maybe Mr. "In on every deal" needs to put down the damn phone because this

After how many quarterbacks Cleveland has gone through in the last twenty years they aren't letting Mayfield leave town. It's funny seeing Panthers fans talk down on him. He's not even great but Sam Darnold has barely sniffed what Baker Mayfield did in his rookie season or last year and Sam was the most hyped quarterback out of that class.

If we had Mayfield, we're 5-1 and HYPED.

We can dream. Even without him they still won against a pretty tough Denver team. Why? Because they weren't worried about hurting Baker's feelings and didn't settle for a former XFL star. They brought in Keenum.

Well, that and the other QB Rhule and company thought was the answer... well, he sucks too.

I've been critical but I would like to see him have a good game today. Talking about the draft next week isn't where I'd like to be. But this talk of running the ball more and involving Shi Smith does sound like we're preparing to wave the white flag.

Really a question for the next General Manager here. Not sure if the guy we have now makes it past this season.

Maybe past October.

He might Madden trade spam himself right on out the door. 

Once we started out 3-0 against the worst teams in the league, it felt like we whipped a 180 and went all in on win now mode and now we're badly depleted on draft capital.

You're seeing the same thing I am, then. It's really easy to  confuse massively busy with competence. Right now, he's hit on Hassan Reddick and that's it for the droves of new add-ons here, from free agent signings to trades.

And that draft class is looking, well... I'd have to give it an incomplete. Jaycee Horn looked good until the injury, but we honestly would have done better with an LT or QB in the first. Terrace Marshall Jr. has been, well, okay I guess for a WR3, but he hasn't made any real noise. Cristensen has been on the bench (first/second round gradeables my ass), Tommy Tremble has been okay but really just a serviceable TE. The rest either haven't seen the field or have spent most of their time sick in bed with a nurse, yanno?

Fitt just might not fit. And it might explain why he wasn't moving up over with the Seahawks. A team that lucked out on a QB, could never build an O-line and stockpiled DBs... hmmm, sounds familiar doesn't it?

Serious question: if the damned Cleveland Browns don't want to give him a huge contract, then why should we?

He's not a true franchise QB in my opinion--actually in many peoples' opinions. He cannot put an imperfect team on his back and drag them to victory when things go a little bit south. You're not going to win because of him, you're only going to win with him provided everything else is going damned near perfectly.

Doing things the Browns don't do has historically been a pretty good roadmap.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
