Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
I didn't like that we got him at 22 either, but there are still some damn good lineman on the board. I don't get why one of them can't step in and start. I wasn't a huge Decastro fan, passing on Reiff stung a little. Other than that, meh.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
Because you just realized no matter what we just got an upgrade and QB who could be a starter for more than two years! If we grab Randle or Hill at 37 does this weeden pick at 22 even matter? No more Colt and sorry Colt you are a good kid. With Weedens Arm T Rich becomes Very Dangerous as a Receiver.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
What the Weeden selection really means:
This front office feels pressure, and that's what merits this pick. They think WIN NOW, and that's really not the goal. Weeden is not a guy that's going to win a super bowl, so what's the point? It makes no sense. The front office's backs are against the wall, I'm not trying to be a team that goes to the playoffs every year and ends up losing in the first/second round. I want a guy who can win it for us, and he isn't the one. He's 28, 29 when the season starts and this pick is just fucking stupid.
If we get Randle or Hill in the second, then move back into the second to take an OT my stance will lighten a little. This pick is just the FO feeling too much pressure to win right now, when they should be trying to win in the future.
STUPID.

if theres one thing we know about Heckert, he isn't afraid to reach for his guy if he wants him.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
The one thing I really like about Weeden is that he can hit the long ball and the short timing pass. He hit Blackmon on a TON of quick posts and longer bombs. He also made quick decisions and hit the running back quite a bit, which with having Richardson, is a major plus.
He just needs to throw better when getting hit. If he can improve that, then he definitely could be the franchise QB we need.
I don't see any reason why he cannot beat out McCoy.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
Exactly how I feel. If we were closer to being competitive, I wouldn't hate the pick because it could put us into contention..... but let's face it.... The Browns aren't even close to competing. They are terrible. By the time we may POSSIBLY be competitive, Weeden will already be 32-33.
Drafting Weeden would also make more sense to me if we added a free agent WR and/or RT to help us "win now."
It makes ZERO sense.
Draft approach seems to be "win now."
Free agency approach was "it's a process, be patient."
WTF

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
I would bet my house, left nut, and life savings that Weeden wins out. Like Jigo said, the guy will be 29 when the season starts. He won't be playing behind anybody.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
First a majority of the QBs in this draft would beat out Colt from day 1. One of the worst starting QBs in the NFL.
2.) I wasn't a fan of either pick but if anyone thought that Colt McCoy was a viable option that needed more time needs to get their head examined. Starting Colt would set this team back longer than missing on Weeden.
Waiting till next year to get your QB gets you fired.

Re: The Brandon Weeden Thread
Aside from "starting Colt sets you back longer than missing on Weeden"
That literally made no sense.
