And Stanton -- him and Beck were my favorites (other than Troy of course :biggrin: )

Stanton, I hope you are kidding. I would not want a young QB on my team with the kind of immaturity issues that he has. He has skills, but his head is a mess. He had so many on the field meltdowns, it was comical to me being a tOSU fan. He will not succeed in the NFL with that kind of mentality.

psst heres a secret, the team was going to suck this year anyway and tank until romeo got fired.

a good RB isn't hard to find (look at all the guys that switched teams this year) bentley is done though, although we just gave fraley an extension

the defensive line is still poor but our CBs are solid now with wright and a young pair of safeties. LBs are very young with a lot of upside.

phil realized that we would be drafting a QB in the first next year and took quinn at 22 (amazing value + we don't have to pay him top 5 $$$).

quinn is better than any QB coming out next year, phil made the right choice.

:lol:

Well since Savage won't be here after next year either, I'm guessing the new GM will have to figure out something quickly once he's here, whoever it is....

I just can not understand why some on this board think they paid to much for the clear #2 quarterback in the draft and in my opinion, better than anyone in next year's class. Please do not give me how much the pick next year is in points....who the hell cares....I want to see positive steps towards building a franchise. The reality is that no one can see the future. Quinn could be the man or not be the man.....

I guess my point is after watching Butch Davis waste picks on average players, I feel like they made some moves that were in my opinion not high risk to get 2 of the top 5 players in the entire draft. How can anyone not be happy with that? Its possible the Browns finish 8-8 next year and that would put them in the middle of the first round, if that happens, they just got a franchise quarterback and gave up almost nothing. What is their to complain about with the way Cleveland is drafting? Nothing in my opinion.

One last thing.....if anyone here thinks Frye is the answer long term is just crazy......watch the games......

I was fine with the Joe Thomas pick. He's what they need.

I'm ok with the pick of Eric Wright, but I think they reached for him.

This isn't about some stupid value chart, but I don't see how a team with this many holes across both lines, in the offensive and defensive backfields, that going for a QB was anything but a desperation move.

Taking the #2 QB in the draft is not desperation, given the current quarterbacks on their roster....it is a no brainer in my opinion. They didn't reach for Wright, he was a projected second round pick, they took him in the third round. I think they addressed the secondary taking two corners, fill in the defensive line with a few FA and they will be greatly improved.

After years of bad picks, how can any fan of the Browns complain? I am amazed some people are critical of their draft......

Given their history, I don't know how anyone can be extremely positive about any draft...but that's just me...

And not to nitpick, but they got Wright with the 53rd pick in the 2nd round, after trading up again.....
