I'd still take Mayfield

Eli Manning has 2 Rings
Terry Bradshaw has 4 Rings
Neither one strikes me as chart busters- just win baby

Finally set to start my full mock today.  Per usual, I'm no insider, so this is who I would take, not who I think they would take.  Also, any former picks in parenthesis mean it's a mock trade, and not necessarily where the teams are actually picking

Browns have so many fricken needs. If I was them I'd trade the pick. If nothing great was offered, I'd just take Saquon Barkley. He is the type of RB the game is trending towards. Closest thing to Marshall Faulk since IMO. He will be what Reggie Bush should have been. Bush never had the upper or lower body or physical toughness to be an every down RB in the NFL. This guy has that and then some. And to top it off he's the most versatile RB to come out in at least a decade. Instant impact player imo.

[847badgerfan]

Yeah, Barkley has it all. He can catch, run, block and probably be a returner too.

I was very confused by your mock until I realized that the Browns had picked up Tyrod Taylor...

And I still have them trading up for a third 1st round pick and taking Lamar Jackson.  Kind of thinking they'll go with Taylor for the year, so fill a couple other holes, but when Jackson slid down to #14, it was too tempting not to jump up and get a top QB after all.  If you have 6 1st round picks over a two year span, that's a hell of a building block for a franchise.

Tell you what, I'd rather have Lamar Jackson in the middle or late 1st than one of the other QB's early. I think Rosen will be the best of the bunch and he's most ready to plug and play. I question Mayfield's size and maturity, not his game. I think his game translates a lot better to the next level than Johnny Foosballs ever did. Mayfield can really play. It's everything else you question. Whoever takes Josh Allen high is just an idiot buying into hype IMO. Darnold seems to me like Andrew Luck light. Not quite as good and the ceiling isn't quite as high as Luck but he also comes with a little bit of turnover-itis like Luck did.
I think the only QB I'd take in the 1st is Rosen. He's as close to a sure thing as there is in this draft. If I'm spending a high 1st round pick at QB, I want to be sure. Jackson probably has the highest upside just based on his freakish athletic ability and his cannon arm.

[ELA]

Yeah, I didn't put Allen in my 1st round, but I'm sure he'll go there.

[Mdot21]

Yeah, I didn't put Allen in my 1st round, but I'm sure he'll go there.

he's a top 5 pick according to all the experts. And it's nuts. He is just not that good at playing QB.

[MrNubbz]

On Friday local CBS radio affiliate hosts were talking about Allen.I forget the few guests they had on but they seemed well versed and were not high on Allen at all.Evidently he's a dink & dunk type not over the top strikes a lot.There were a few other things he got flagged on.With that said I'm afraid the Browns will grab him high.On second thought I forgot the Browns picked up GM John Dorsey in December.Larry,Curly & Moe before  were all Harvard Grads and had no KLEW on procuring grid iron talent.I've said this before collectively this board could hold it's own on Draft Day.I believe that.Who follows CFB more than us bouncing ideas back & forth so much it some times degenerates into a pissing match.Lot of eyes on the talent pool.I can tell you I shyt myself sometimes for instance Manziel and Weeden a few years before.He turned 29 his rookie season.Two years back they drafted 5 wide receivers and the two they let go had much better years than the 5 they picked up .There is one left from that draft.I was like the old man in Christmas Story cursing up a storm working on the furnace.There were holes all over that roster and these luminaries grab 5 at one position.F'up- move up

[OrangeAfroMan]

Good to see Hurst is evidently okay.
