Has all the makings of the Johnnie $$$$$ Football 2.0 draft. Would just be soooooo Browns. IF this draft flames out like the last gazillion Browns drafts have gone, I think they should go full George Costanza. Whatever they think they should do, just do the opposite. How could the results get any worse?

I liked Barkley at #1 and Chubb at #4.

hope Mayfield works out but it seems high risk.

Was hoping for Barkley and any q.b. We got the qb but not Barkley. Can’t be too bummed though because we needed a corner and we may have gotten a steal in chubb. Some might say baker had off the field issues but he doesn’t seem like a bad guy. I like his high energy and think he will galvanize the players around him. I am worried that high energy and maybe ego will frustrate him if he sits on the bench. Which I would like to see him do. We have seen guys like Rodgers and Jimmy G benefit enormously by sitting and learning. I also thinks it shields them from injury. With Tyrod I would like to see us do this with a year or two with baker. I worry that his energy as well as the pressure from frustrated browns fans will push him to start sooner than he is ready for.

I think the Browns got the two players they wanted. They're just not the same guys most fans wanted them to take.

I was OK with the pick of Mayfield at 1, although I preferred Darnold, who's a good 3-4 inches taller than Mayfield. Mayfield's height is the only thing that has me concerned; he has the obvious talent. Problem is, 6 foot QBs are the exception and not the rule. Not sure I would've picked an exception with the No.1 pick, but we'll see how it works out. Mayfield was apparently on more than the Browns' radar as Peter King's MMQB column today says that the Cardinals offered a trade for the Browns for the No.4 pick but only if Mayfield was still on the board.

There's no way in you-know-where I would've drafted Barkley at No.1. In fact, there's not a running back out there I would ever pick at No.1. Great running backs don't take teams to the Super Bowl in today's NFL but great QBs do. (Not saying Mayfield is a great QB. I'm saying the QB position is far more important in today's NFL and is worthy if the No.1 pick, RBs aren't). In fact, in time I think the Giants will regret not taking a QB instead of taking Barkley. Manning is long past his prime at 37 years old and in fact had a miserable year last year. He's one hit away from retirement. When you have the No.2 pick in the draft with franchise QBs still on the board and your starting QB is 37, you draft the franchise QB. End of discussion. When was the last time the Patriots had a game-changing RB? Did a RB take the Eagles to the Super Bowl championship this year?

You have to have a game-changing QB to win, especially with the way the rules are set up. Everything else is secondary.

Don't disagree about Manning being one hit away from retirement.

As far as his abilities,you can't really count last year.
They had an O line that was like musical chairs,due to injuries.
Same with their receivers.

From listening to the Giants GM,they seem to feel that Manning has at least a couple of more productive years.If not,they also seem to feel that Webb can do the job, and that none of the QB's in the draft would have elevated the QB position from where it is now,at least ,in the short term.
The Giants had a mini-camp right before the draft so they did have a chance to give Webb a good look.
Something none of us fans have.

Then again,a lot of Giants fans,me included,would love to see Trace McSorley come here.

The Giants have said they expect Barkley to be a leader "on and off the field".
Leadership,especially with players like JPP,who's now gone,and Beckam,who most fans want to be,has been lacking.

Heading into the draft I had us bypassing a QB to take Barkley at #1 and Chubb at #4. Similar to what others said above, my rationale on that was based on the fact that I am comfortable with Tyrod Taylor and I also think trying to predict which QB-prospect is likely to develop is harder than predicting which prospect at other positions will be successful.

However, I was really torn on those choices. Of the QBs, I liked Baker slightly more than Darnold and Rosen, but I would've been OK with any of the three. I firmly believe the Browns have gained access to more and more player data than I do to evaluate players the past few years. In trading for Tyrod Taylor and Jarvis Landry, then drafting Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward, it's clear the Browns are making informed decisions rather than letting consensus from the masses sway anything. I would've been good with whatever they decided. Excited to see it all play out.

I don't know if I am qualified because I'm not exactly a huge fan anymore thanks to two decades of misery, a felonious owner, abysmal stadium experiences and unwatchable football. I'll still rise to the bait here and declare this to be to worst draft in the history of the franchise. Mayfield is not an NFL player and even if he had an iota of a chance to be one, his tiny ass will get shredded thanks to a porous offensive line and very few playmakers. Even if they wanted Manziel II, he'd have been there at #4 because no one else is stupid enough to take him top 5. Skipping on Barkley and Chubb to get an immature, man-baby gnome and an overrated corner is inexcusably awful and I'm confident it will go down as the worst draft ever.

I thought I'd put him down as "undecided"!

[First heard that comment when a political candidate [think it was Hubert Humphrey, but not sure] at some kind of a townhall meeting was being just ripped to shreds by a citizen. After listening to the guy's tirade for five minutes or so, the politician responded with, "Thanks for your comments, I'll put you down as undecided."]

The Cleveland Browns always make the NFL Draft interesting. That is because they are the perfect reality show franchise, which takes dysfunction and incompetence, year after year, to new levels of utter insanity; in fact, one is always left feeling better not only for their own favorite NFL franchise, but due to the fact that one can be the greatest screw up in the world and still have a better track record than Cleveland. The only surprise this year is why, considering the decision to draft the overrated Mayfield, the Browns didn't try to convince another great Oklahoma NFL prospect by the name of Brian Bosworth to come out of retirement and thus be the anchor of their defense.

Mayfield may not have been a bad pick.

As I posted before,there was lot of talk,right before the draft,that the Jets were going to take him.

Yesterday a story came out that, if the Browns took someone else,The Patriots were ready to move heaven and earth to move up to the second pick to get Mayfield.

Their problem would have been what they could offer.

The thing that does have a lot of people scratching their heads is why the Browns didn't take Chubb at #4.

For those of you who get ESPN,they did a series called "Hey Rookie,Welcome To The NFL".
It followed Barkely and Chubb from pre-draft training to draft night.

Very well done.
Both seem like nice guys,from strong families.

The only thing I am confident about is that no one, least of all any random fan, knows with any degree of absolute certainty how this draft will play out for any team. I have guys I liked and guys I don't like, and I think my opinions are more informed than the average fan, but I still accept there's too much at play here for me to really know what's going to happen.

These are young 20-something year old kids. What a kid is at 21 or 22 isn't what he is at 25 or 26 let alone 30 or 31.

I think most will agree Bill Belichick is probably the greatest NFL Draft guru in the NFL or at least he is Top 5 and certainly Top 10. Bill Belichick has missed on more players than he has hit on.

It's a crapshoot. The worst Browns draft ever is hitting .100 instead of .200. Thankfully the Browns gave themselves more at-bats than everyone else so even if the bats go cold we are going to have some guys on-base.
