1. BROWNS: JOSH ALLEN, QB, WYOMING
Crumbs of evidence are everywhere on this. Another one: Owner Jimmy Haslam has been asking around about Allen.
Jimmy Haslam out there (not) secretly asking about Josh Allen two weeks before the draft.
That seems pretty overt.
Who could be possibly be calling? What other information does he need? His team has met with him multiple times, they’ve seen him in sessions at least 3 times, had interviews, watched his games live, and have hours of tape.
What will Jimmy be able to uncover in a phone call a week and a half out from the draft? Smells like BS and another story being put out to help someone’s motives. The real mystery is trying to figure out who’s motives those are.
Right, and who could he possibly be calling? What other information does he need? His team has met with him multiple times, they’ve seen him in sessions at least 3 times, had interviews, watched his games live, and have hours of tape.

Well, Haslam does have a horrible reputation for not trusting his hired FO and seeking opinions from football minds around the league.Thats my whole thing, too.
It doesn't make sense. Is Haslam being deployed to call up random GMs and Owners and ask, "so, whats your thoughts on this Allen guy, eh? What a talent, huh?"
You're motherfu*kin' right we are.Are people so in denial about the possibility that we might take Allen that they think Jimmy Haslam is running misdirection plays for Dorsey?
You’re viewing this as pretty black and white with no ulterior motives consideredAre people so in denial about the possibility that we might take Allen that they think Jimmy Haslam is running misdirection plays for Dorsey? With a guy who isn't a consensus trade up target?
Smokescreens and 4D chess!Thats my whole thing, too.

So Allen is what is getting reported. Are you confident in definitively saying that Haslam has ONLY asked about Allen QB wise?
Maybe the people he talked to had incentives to only mention Allen? Why? I don’t know. But I think Jimmy Haslam reaches out about one and ONLY ONE prospect is pretty far fetched. Why not just get the scoop on the other options while on the line?
Well I certainly won’t argue with Haslam being monumentally stupid, but even though you like Allen, if you believe what you laid out then this team is pretty much doomed regardless with someone as dumb as that calling the shotsHonestly? Because this seems like something incredibly dumb that's right up Haslam's alley.
Despite what anyone says, I feel like Dorsey has to know who his guy is going to be at this point. And it wouldn't surprise me if, even if he hasn't shared it with anyone else in the organization, he's shared it with his boss (who you would think could keep a secret).
And it would be just like Jimmy to go around the league, insecurely asking everyone else's opinion on the pick even though he hired Dorsey specifically to make it.
