2014 Browns Official Draft Thread

No the bet was Manziel would be available at #35 and the Browns would pass on him a third time...that one was paid off when they drafted him...

 

Yep . . . I bet him that Bortles would be drafted before Manziel for a six-pack of long necks. Then it was modified to a twelve pack if Bortles was drafted before BOTH Manziel and Bridgewater.

Irish went down for the count at pick #3.

 

Okay my bad. I'm legitimately happy for you Irish. You wanted him and you got him and Farmer knew exactly what his value was. Personally I would have taken Watkins but an extra 1st is pretty darn nice. Enjoy this.

 

Yeah I never saw that bet. I thought I saw a bet with someone else about Bridgewater not being drafted in the first round or something like that.

 

My other guy is still sitting there too...Marquise Lee would make a nice complement to Gordon..so would Adams...but I think I would really like Borland top shore up that defense..

Man, the Browns are looking up...

Dansby
Whitner
Gilbert
Manziel

I do believe Johnny will be given every opportunity to learn. I don't think for a second Hoyer will be cast aside, he will be given the opportunity to lead this team in 2014. BUT, I don't think they will be able to sit Johnny in the end...

 

You know something, Beach?

I like you and Mano and BB. But the rest of those smug, condescending asswipes on your board can kiss my lily white ass!

 

If he doesnt play this means nothing....what a joke move to put him on bench when they moved up 2 get him

 

Don't take it personally Lym. It's the rivalry. Guys in here take shots at the Steelers. I expect it. Farmer did well today. I'm a huge Watkins fan so I would have gone that route but hard to argue with picking up another 1st round pick. That's huge.

 

OMG give it a rest. The guy is under contract for a minimum of 5 years. It's not the end of the world if he doesn't start Day 1.

 

Here we go. Our first post-Manziel drafting debate . . .

o Pettine is already on record that he would not start a rookie QB. And he made that comment knowing full well that Manziel
was targeted in the draft.

o Like it or not, Manziel WILL have a very large target on his ass this year.

o Exactly what has Hoyer done (other than get injured) to lose his starting job?

 

I do take it personal.

What rivalry? According to those very same asswipes - there is no rivalry with the Browns. The Steelers rivalry is with the Ravens.

You try living with 15 + years of that crap!

 

We all fell in love with WAtkins, but bottom line is, top notch CB was a much more pressing need than #2 WR....The fact that we got Gilbert, who I just fell in love with at the combine, and still were able to come up with the best QB prospect alone would have been considered a big success. Throw in the addition of Buffalo's #1 next year, and it really makes it a spectacular first round for Cleveland. Nobody thought we'd be able to hold on to #35 if we passed on QB at #4. We not only held on to it, but we added a huge pick to next years arsenal....

 

I have. I'm an O's fan and have been listening to JackTard Yankees fans for the last 15+ years. It is what it is and it's not changing until the Browns start winning. They are definitely more talented than they've been in a long time. We'll see how good a coach Pettine is.

 

Makes perfect sense if Gilbert is the stud some believe he will be. Not hating, just stating my preference. I think Sammy Watkins will be the best WR in the NFL in two years. I don't believe you can put those kind of expectations on Gilbert. Only time will tell.

 

Hoyer is a fn bum thats why.....journeyman QB that stunk at Mich St

 

Man I wish I knew u personally cause I wuld bet anything u wanted on that statement w Watkins being the best WR in 2 yrs LOL

 

I put it in Tim's locked thread. I'm not going anywhere.

 

I know most Browns fans from my generation have to appreciate what 2 lock down corners can do for a defense....I heard a rumor earlier in the day that we were going to do exactly that trade with Buffalo, so we could take Gilbert. lol! Helluva tip but, I didn't believe it. lol! I Never dreamed Manziel would slide that far either. Really didn't.

 

Watkins wont even b the best WR in this class let alone best WR in 2 yrs

 

I heard the same thing, but again, didn't believe it..I was actually a little down after that pick, simply because I wanted Manziel. I am rejuvenated. I wanted Manziel, Lee and Roby...I got a head and shoulders better CB, Manziel, Lee is still on the board for #35 and a 2015 first rounder to boot...This has been a dream sequence of a night. I know most of you don't believe in Manziel, but I think we will all be rejoicing two years from now...
