I feel like the Cleveland Browns before the draft

Posted by Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud (aka JoeMetz) Aug 18 '18, 10:17

a ton of early capital.

Now, to avoid feeling like the Browns after the draft.

Responses:

I really appreciate your doing that. It was on our to-do list for this afternoon. -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:28 1
- Indeed, thanks Will. It gives us a few more hours of being ruiners before David snaps. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:30
If I had the time, I think an interesting article would be a comparison of Cleveland's drafting this decade and Detroit the previous decade -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:21 12
- I pick Detroit's for actually being 1st round smarter - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:32 2
  - Charles Rogers over Andre Johnson was their crippler, but it would have been hard to pass on the local kid. - David Aug 18, 10:36 1
    - Even then, it wasn't even that indefensible -- Rogers was pretty damn good in college and did okay at the combine. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:38
- There's no comparison because Cleveland's had a historic number of high picks. - David Aug 18, 10:29 8
  - Okay. I keep thinking of that article title "Cleveland is the best 0-16 team in NFL History". And I want to compare the two. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:31 7
    - For years, analysts swore that Cleveland taking draft picks instead of Julio Jones was the smart move. - David Aug 18, 10:33 6
      - See, right there is something to discuss, the symbiosis of the WR/QB tandem. Julio, while truly great, still benefits from Ryan more than he would - crash davis Aug 18, 10:36 2
        
        Mike Evans and Johnny Manziel at A&M. We know who was responsible for that success now. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:39 1
        
        I feel if Evans was on a Steelers-like team instead of the Bucs, he and not Antonio would be the consensus 1st pick -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:41
      - It's also one reason the RG3 trade wasn't quite as bad in hindsight...the Rams didn't launch shit from it. - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:36
      - Right, the one year they managed to get paid for Sammy Watkins, they turned the picks into Justin Gilbert and Manziel - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:35 1
        
        Justin Gilbert is one of those guys where you basically had to not follow college football to draft him. - David Aug 18, 10:37
