2017 Draft Prospects Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Shefter is "hearing rumblings". That isn't a surprise -- everyone and their brother out there is trying to drum up interest and rumors, so the "rumblings" are out there.

In the actual video though, Schefter wasn't saying I've heard rumblings that Trubisky is in contention for the number 1 pick or something similar.

It was more my sources are telling me, he will be the pick.

Which represents a pretty significant shift in rhetoric, imo.
 
It sure is getting interesting...

I'm super scared we're going to Browns this one up.... again.

There's so many recent examples of mid round QB's turning into upper tier starting QB's in the NFL recently. That's why you do it. Because you have to keep taking shots until something sticks at this position. You can't expect to draft one guy and just have it work out. It's exactly like Sashi has been saying, we aren't just better than everyone at drafting. Which is why you take as many as you can until you find the solution.

I don't necessarily disagree with the approach, but to characterize the successful mid round quarterbacks as "so many" recent examples is overstating it.

The list begins with Russell Wilson. It probably continues with Kirk Cousins. And Dak Prescott had 1 good year. That's it. Now, in the stretch of 10-12 years or so before that there were very few who were any good at all. Aaron Brooks and Marc Bulger were the best of a small group who ever made any noise. Suddenly we have 3 successes but I'm not sure that's more than just noise. And yes even with these 3 successes they represent just 12-13% of all the quarterbacks drafted in rounds 3-5. Meaning if they spent 4 mid round picks on quarterbacks over the next couple years they ends with just a 40% chance of finding a good one.
 
Browns front office makes decision.

The only reason I can think of as to why they wouldn't announce the pick in advance is that they're still doing smokescreening.

With Trubisky the hot name going around in regards to us for a while now, I still believe that's the smokescreen in regards to 1.


























I hope

Also. 40% is DAMN good chances.... I'd take that all day.

Mitch's agent is working overtime, hanging around NFL water-coolers.

"That Trubisky is some kind of something. Boy, this Trubisky is all anybody's ever talking about. So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Trubisky is."
