I think they should take Barkley first overall as I doubt he’s still there at #4. Then they have options to pick their guy or trade down at 4. If I were to guess, I think they pick Josh Allen at 4, but if they like Rosen or Mayfield more, they should trade down.
Tyrod Taylor with Landry, Gordon, Njoku, Barkley, and Duke Johnson while grooming your franchise QB would be a great start for them.
Unless you think the four main guys (Allen, Darnold,Mayfield, Rosen) are interchangeable, the one they want isn't likely to be available when they pick again at 4.
Especially if want to win 10+ games in next 4 years. I know, sounds crazy but very possible.
If they take Barkley and then an OL at 4 (Quenton Nelson!) and then go heavy D the rest of the way they will have tons of building blocks.
Maybe pick up a QB in 3rd, and keep the best of Kessler or Hogan to round out QB (maybe one can go on Development squad for a year).
If you think ( and I don't see the "chosen one" this year) you can get a 10 year QB starter...you take him.
Just my two cents after watching Tom Brady make millionaires of coaches/GM's who hung around him and the Patriots the last 15 years.
If I were the Browns, I'd seriously consider taking Barkley at #1 and Nelson at #4. Heavily consider it.
Cleveland was always dreary in the winter.
trading their #1 or #4 pick, but they are still drafting a QB. I don't believe they feel Taylor is a long term solution.
Agreed that it is good for all parties, especially Kizer, but they are still taking a QB in the first round.
