And with the first pick, the CLEVELAND BROWNS select...
A quarterback that will wash out in 3 years???
The best RB prospect to come out in a few years???
A quarterback that will finally end the Cleveland QB curse???
But with the 4th Pick, maybe they do what would be a dream scenario...
They man up and draft Saquon Barkley at #1 and then they trade #4 to Buffalo for 12+22 and then draft LAMAR JACKSON at #12, who is PERFECT to develop for a year or two under Tyrod Taylor. And at #22 they take the proverbial "Best Player Available" and add to a really great stable of young talent mixed with vets like Taylor, Carlos Hyde and Jarvis Landry and the returning Josh Gordon. They pull this off right and they won't be a laughingstock for very much longer.
I'd also love it if they took Barkley at #1 and either Nelson or Chubb at #4 after the Giants, (and the rest of the NFL) totally FREAK THE **** OUT! If Cleveland takes Barkley, the Giants either trade out or take Nelson for the OL. If they're staying with Manning, they're getting him help this year and not draft a QB in Round 1. The Jets then get 1st crack at the QB's or at worst, 2nd crack if the Giants trade out. Then Cleveland is left at #4 with at least 3 solid QB options and the chance to make a VERY lucrative deal and STILL land Jackson, who fits them best in my opinion. They can get a solid developable QB in Round 2 or 3 if they deal down as well. This would be a BALLS move by Cleveland but unfortunately, we all know about Cleveland's balls.
