mastershake Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The next franchise QB is paramount.. we don't get to pick this high often... we're not the Jets or the Browns.... we need the new QB who will anchor the position for the next 15 years... Agreed. That's why I say, we're rarely in a top 5 position...so if we think a potential franchise QB is available when we pick (assuming we're top 5), I think we have to jump at taking him.

Tempest Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 That's usually left up to the salary cap gurus in the FO (man I'd love to work for the Giants finance dept) You really should send in that resume, I want tickets when they hire you!

Nas Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 But if we have that already? I think this team is in position for an immediate impact player I don't think we have enough of a sample size on Webb given he wasn't a first rounder... I think he's a Russell Wilson... however I want to cover the basis and take advantage of a bad situation. And if both Rook and Webb pan out, then we have an RG3/Cousins situation... a good problem to have. We can try to land a blockbuster LT in FA (if there's one)... and nothing says Flowers doesn't turn it around either... and our problems at OL are not just at LT... so when you fix the other positions and get an offensive mind who knows when and how to give a struggling LT some help, it will do wonders for your offense.

BlueInCanada Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We don't know what we have. Therefore if a potential franchise QB is there when we draft, we draft him. I've always been under the idea that you should take a QB every single year int he draft, heck even if it's a 5th round pick. You never know.

Agree and Flowers has actually come around and theres nothing they can do with him until probably next draft. We wont find an upgrade from Flowers in free agency or the draft. Honestly theres not been good OTs taken since Tyron Smith in 2011, so drafting OT is a risk. Most called for Tunsil over Apple two years ago(including me) and hes struggled. IOL should be the focus its easier to find a guard than a OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Man, if only the Browns had won that game. It would be great to trade back a spot with them and pick up their extra first rounder if we end up ahead of them in draft positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take Rosen then take Jackson, if we take Jackson they take Rosen. It's kinda like the Colts/Redskins those years ago, with Luck and Robert The Three.

I haven't given up on Ereck Flowers playing at the offensive tackle position. The decision on Flowers is up to the next general manager and head coach.

Remember what we gave away to get Eli... and that was in a draft with Roethlisberger and Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on how much the Browns would want for their guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Nas- Yea I'd definitely like to see ODB get traded. He is gonna be the highest paid player in the league. We wont be able to afford anything after him. Same as every other team who has the most explosive highest paid player ever on it. NTM the fact he is a total head case. This was his third year and his immaturity has only gotten worse. Trading him could make this draft the greatest of all time. You think the 9ers would give a first and second for him? I do. If not them, someone in the top 10 would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not them, someone in the top 10 would. I don't see ODB as immature... Yes he displayed a few attention grabbing moves here and there but on the whole I think he'll be wiser with a more stable FO, Coaching, and Team leaders around him... I understand the money issue but Eli will be coming off the books in 2 years and I don't think any team would pay ODB more than they'd pay a franchise QB... We'll see how those things play out... But if someone is willing to give up a 1st and a 2nd for him (which is highly unlikely), then why not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I dont see how beckhams Immaturity has gotten worse. Two years ago he was head hunting, last year he has a month long love affair with a kicking net. This year...he has one bad td celebration? He wont be the highest paid player in the nfl either. He will prob get a contract paying him 57-60 mil over the first three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayD Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 By proving him right? At least as far as he is concerned? I don't care what anyone says, if you think he is walking away from the table not the highest paid WR in leagues history, you are crazy. Hasn't even hit his prime yet. Welcome to salary cap hell.

Herc Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Highest paid wr yes, not highest paid player. And he deserves it too. Hes a top 2 wide receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two firsts for the top spot overall instead of two firsts, a third and a fifth. Again, just talking out my ass here... I don't think the Browns are going to be worse than us.
