I had the exact same thought, Dave.  I think we are going to draft Pickett.   We could have gone after Baker (no), Jimmy G (no), Minshew (no)--not a lot of options left.  If we are certain, then sign the LT and lets roll em.

You and I have always seen pretty much eye  to eye and you're much more in tune to college players than I am.  

What's your take on Pickett?

Well this feels familiar. A team alienating a cornerstone player and signing an inferior player. 
Maybe it’s just me.

In no way does this stop Atlanta from drafting a quarterback this year.

When you consider all these teams which have signed QBs, the Panthers don't actually need to draft a QB at 6, they could trade down and get one

Who knows with Rhule. He may be loving on Pickett right now. So the Falcons are probably out of the QB draft this year. Saints still eyeing Willis if u you read the tea leaves (back up Winston and sit for a year or two). Leaves J.G.dont want. That leaves Baker...or draft picks.

The Browns need to know that we are not going to eat the salary.  An even trade for QBs--both at the same salary on fifth year deals--gives the Browns a backup in Darnold and Baker to the Panthers.  We still draft a QB... All we are doing is giving the Browns a QB who is not butt hurt and we are taking a problem off their hands.  We could throw in a seventh rounder to make them feel better.

Seems like a decent stop gap and mentor for Willis… everyone knows we are snagging Pickett so there’s going to be a fight for Malik.

[Mr. Scot]

Damn, that didn't take long

I was on a phone call for like 15 minutes. Look back at the internet and I see this.

At this point, a reasonable trade for Jimmy G and drafting Willis sounds like a good idea imo. Jimmy G would play well in this offense especially if he used CMC like Debo. Let Willis develop for a year. This is a playoff team with Jimmy G at QB next year.

They signed Brissett yesterday as the backup

I think the Browns are content with Brissett as their backup at this point.

Yeah that's not happening. Not after former head coaches publicly outing offers from ownership for purposely losing.

No, but it might make them less likely to trade up for one.
