To remove the need to take a quarterback at 1 and add flexibility to the selection at 4. Unless you are of the mindset that the answer is Taylor, or that you are trading for Taylor and still taking a quarterback at 1. I'm not a believer in Tyrod as the answer, and if Hue still wants McCarron so that they have an open competition to start the year I can't see them taking a quarterback at the top of the draft.
I don’t see Taylor, McCarron, or Kizer as “the answer”. With Miami and Buffalo angling to move up to select QBs, the prudent move is to take the guys they (Cleveland) wants at #1.
Or they can hurry and give one of those 1sts for Foles. It would be frustrating as hell if Tyrod can get essentially a late 2nd and Foles gets nothing, if the Eagles actually do want him gone.
And I agree with this. All I'm saying is this - if the Browns still move on signing McCarron, Barkley will be the most likely pick at #1.
Browns didn't have a true slot receiver on the roster last year. Now, they have the NFL's most productive slot receiver.
^^^ I just can’t see a team that has needed a QB since 1999 (2002, really - Couch was good) passing on one from this group. Take multiple shots while you can and be pleasantly surprised if a vet works out.
And, I agree with the sentiment in this post as well, lol. IMO, if they make the move for McCarron after trading for Tyrod it would be a pretty clear signal that they are OK with moving through this draft and potentially adding no quarterback. I posted about it earlier (today, I believe). I know it's a shit scenario for the Browns faithful, but it's tough to know what Dorsey thinks about the situation with Hue and what his immediate plans are compared to his long term plans. Signing A.J. would show the Browns are looking to get Hue his guy, add another vet and potentially not draft a quarterback till 2019.
