Man, they did have a playoff game/win recently but the Browns are still firmly the Browns. The Watson trade cemented it and this is just icing on the cake. They still have some good players from all the early 1st round picks they built up but damn they are terribly run.

We all owe them a tremendous thanks for jumping on that grenade for us. We only avoided that massive error because they outbid us. As bad as the Bryce trade looks right now at least it didn't also cap strap us.

Bryce has always been listed as 5'10 and his official Combine measurement was 5'10 and 1/8", so how did he lie about his height?

He was over 6’1” at the combine?

True although, it only would have cost us Iky, Bryce and a pick we traded for Bryce and a few other later picks. We did nothing with the picks we saved by not trading for Watson, lol. Maybe we would have felt forced to trade Burns to the Rams due to the cap and then we might have been better off, SMH.

How did we avoid that Watson disaster only to basically waste every opportunity we were given by the Browns?

Feel like the Jets are just purposefully fugging with us at this point.  

They like to rub it in.

He never specifically did—Bama however did list him at 6’0 194 when in reality he’s that 5’10 185ish.

Schools oftentimes fudge measurements. Not a big deal. Whatever a school lists a guy's 40 time at, you can very safely add at least a full tenth to it and then maybe you'll be in the ballpark.

Oh okay I didn't know we were talking about college.  Cause people still talk about Bryce Young's 5'10 height in here like it's a conspiracy, posting pictures of him standing next to so-and-so person (Mina Kimes, Drew Brees, etc.) and acting like he's secretly 5'3 or something.  I don't think anyone ever took his 6'0 194 Alabama listing seriously.  Colleges routinely overstate their players' height (see link), but for some reason with Bryce Young, it's a huge deal what his college listed him as.  And not only that...but Bryce is the one lying, not Alabama.
