Browns Thread: 'Twas fun while it lasted

Magical. Magical was the correct answer.

 

I’m really not sure how I’m going to conduct myself watching an NFL draft in which we don’t need a QB or have a Top 10 pick. Will be so foreign.

 

I'm happy I was so wrong about Baker

 

Ditto.

 

Can I still accept credit for my Cousins takes but also ask that we don’t pull up anything I said about our lord and savior Baker?

 

Wow. That’s insane.

 

yeah, that's an absurd stat. obviously a lot of that is baker/kitchens, but i think our offensive line's been pretty solid this year. would be interested to see how they rank. would still like to see an upgrade at tackle, but i don't think the line's as dire a need going forward as i thought it would be earlier in the season

 

Robinson has been a revelation. It would be a hell of a steal if he can keep it turned around, you’re getting a top 5 pick in the draft at OT for next to nothing.

 

Ed Oliver if he falls to us, yay or nay?

 

We are in a very strange position of not having a ton of glaring deficiencies. Previously we'd be like, well, we need help at QB, RB, WR, the defensive secondary, and the D line. But Joe Thomas is good! Now it's almost a matter of just drafting improvements to the good players we have. It seems like the one position we need the most is that elite WR.

Being a better team, and Baker being Baker means free agents are more willing or likely to come. However, I'm not seeing tons of elite FA WRs on the market for next year. I think we take the highest rated WR and go D line in the 2nd round or FA.

I have to think Baker will be pushing hard to look at Marquise Brown. DK Metcalf?

 

I like Brown, but is he a #1? Like you said though, drafting BPA isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

 

Hard for me to not be a homer, but after 2017 season, no way. He was beating everyone on pure speed alone.

This season, he's high pointing balls and fighting a lot more.

I think he's a lock for 2nd round but when he runs at the combine, he's going to confirm that he has elite speed and could sneak into the first.

Here's his game log. He tweaked his hammy in the first matchup against Texas and played decoy/sparingly for several weeks after that. Also, didn't play against Army so his 1300 yards and 10 TD's largely came in 9 games

We have no shot against Bama if he isn't good to go. If he's good to go, they'll be forced to play 2 high safeties or risk having Surtain lose his drawers in a fly-by. If he's not healthy, it could get ugly.

 

Combination of improved Oline play and Baker's ability to move in the pocket. Love watching him slide to one side or the other and find an open receiver. Noticed several times Sunday where he got rid of it as a defender was closing in, but not so close that he took a hit. So fucking refreshing after the Kizers, Taylors, etc of the world just stood in the pocket till it collapsed for a sack.

 

An intriguing FA WR is Tyrell Williams. Probably not a true #1 but I like his size/skills. Not quite 27 and probably shouldn't garner crazy $. Be interesting if the Chargers try to keep him with Keenan Allen making 10 mil, Benjamin 6.5, and Mike Williams near 6.

 

When your QB is a slithery snake.....

Tyrod played behind the same O-Line and got destroyed

 

How many gummies, brownies, etc. are you planning to sneak in?

 

you better not come back without a story about making out with a MILF in the parking lot.

 

I just think guys like that are the present and future of the league. The best offenses have multiple guys who can score on any play from anywhere on the field. And if our offense has a personnel deficiency, it's that. I don't know if he's a number 1 WR, but I'm also not sure that term means what it used to.

 

Tyreke Hill isn't even a true WR. Just ask Jalen Ramsey

 

The "Landry sucks" hill is a weird hill for this dude to pick to die on.

 

Guy is a pretend insider and clown. Not shocked with that garbage take.

 

He's been pounding that drum since the day the trade was made.

 

I don't think Landry is a "number 1" but he's damn good. He's got that attitude, but so does Baker. Winning games is only going to solidify how well they feed off each others energy and dominate on the field.

Bake hit him with that 50 yard TD last week that was in double (maybe even considered triple) coverage. That's 100% belief and trust.

One more weapon that doesn't have skillet hands will make them a nightmare to defend

Edit: obviously all that's with Chubb being dominant too

 

I think Tyrell is gonna get paid big bucks this offseason. This years FA WR class is weak as hell. Biggest names are Tyrell, Randall Cobb, Golden Tate, Josh Gordon (RFA), Larry Fitzgerald.

I'm interested in seeing if Dorsey targets Chris Conley. I love that kid. Other WRs that I'd be interested in. Enunwa, Robby Anderson (great deep threat - hate his off-the-field issues), Adam Humphries.

 

I’m going to the game tonight. I’ll probably cheer for you guys.

 

:swoon:

Pass D looks like garbage. We miss Ward badly.

 

Holy shit. Peppers made a play against the pass.

 

Went a long way, too

 

First play peppers has made since high school.

 

Great play by Peppers. Mayfield is having a rough second quarter.

 

It feels like Hue is back coaching again tonight.

 

Glad to see the Hue Browns are back.

 

that was a great baker drive

 

Outstanding drive off the TO

 

Fuku Corch

 

All the flags and stoppages almost make this unwatchable.

And the defense is really shitting the bed on this drive. Offense gave us momentum and the D just shitting it away.

 

NFL officiating

 

That was a good stop.

 

The offense can’t go conservative this drive.
