Oh boy we might get a LT, well whoop dee doo. 

Joe Thomas is one of the best LT to ever play and he never played in a playoff game. 

 

I’m all in on a QB over other positions but if we don’t draft one I’m ok with getting a franchise LT instead. The Browns never got a franchise qb until Mayfield. And that’s not from trying. They drafted so many qbs in the first round while Joe Thomas was there. Hopefully we are luckier. Hopefully Lance or Fields drops to us. Or we trade up to 6.

Im just saying LT is only important if you have a QB worth protecting.

The only thing he will accomplish is letting Teddy have longer to toss a 2 yard pass.

The bust rate for tackles high in the first round has not been kind to teams the last decade or so no matter how promising the prospect looks on tape. If we are throwing in the towel I would rather just take Pitts.

That's absolutely false. Tackles have the highest success rate of any position. Doesn't mean their all pro bowlers though.

In the top 10? Agree to disagree on that. I would rather add another offensive target or solidify our corner depth.

Sewell will probably be a bust. I hate taking OT in today’s NFL. Back and the good old days, it was the safe pick. You get a LT for 10 years, now majority of these guys bust. 

Dude you just have the absolute worst takes. Who’s alt are you? Just terrible…

you can find plenty of examples of game manager QB teams who did well, and even won the Super Bowl. We saw with Cam that even one hole in the OL can neutralize a great QB.

Sure, and you can find plenty of example of late round qbs panning out. Why don’t we just draft the next Tom Brady in the 6th! And maybe I’ll win the lottery! You can find examples of guys winning the lottery!

I don’t agree with his conclusion that sewell is likely a bust, but the data has changed a good bit in the past decade and top OTs aren’t as safe as they once were. That Eric fisher draft was a real poo show for OTs

He shows nothing of bust what so ever. I feel like he may be one of the best sure things in this entire draft. Anyhow, we need somebody to protect Teddy so he can throw us another 15 or so TD passes this upcoming season.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
