Tony Pauline doesn't see a quarterback at #6

It seems unlikely that we will take a QB at 6th imo. Even if there is a run on OTs we'll still have an excellent non-QB prospect fall in our lap, and at that point we might be able to trade down or select him. Passing on Fields last draft could be a preview of what's to come in the 2022 draft.

The 2023 draft is going to be loaded with better QB prospects than this draft from what I understand. Letting Sam have his last shot at becoming our franchise QB in 2022 is actually a good idea. Sam will have a better understanding of our system, and an improved o-line. If Sam runs the 2022 season into the gutter, then we'll be at a high position in the 2023 draft to select a great QB prospect. That's how you can end up in the Super Bowl in a few seasons with a great QB still under his cheap rookie contract. And If Sam goes out and kicks ass in 2022, then we have our franchise QB.

People kill me with these the value is here and all this. Guess what. Value is for people who have enough all ready. You don't go shopping for a luxury car when you riding a bike. We know the tackles are safer and probably better but if you don't have a guy to build around that value doesn't really matter. 

The value of a qb isn't just in that. Your valuing that qb vs all the other guys you  can sign on his rookie contract vs a tackle.

If he couldn't get it done with all that talent in Cleveland. I don't want to see what he does with less here.

Exactly, no one wants to see this. Chance your QB whether at 6 or 16, it literally does not matter if they hit.

What does “getting it done” mean though? Besides this year where he was hurt the entire season he definitely got it done by browns standards

He hasn't been getting it done which is why he is on the way out. Obviously you don't let a guy walk who was winning or you had confidence in winning you playoff games.  He hadn't been getting it done enough I suppose.

Even if Baker was performing at an Alex Smith level in KC, if a talent like Watson comes available, you go after him. Watson can likely get you to a SB repeatedly, and that's what the ultimate goal is.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
