weepaws 2,460 Posted March 9, 2018 Plus they picked up Landry. This move is an interesting one for the stock of both J Gordon and Landry. I don't see Taylor being a QB that can support both of these WRs. Plus they have a good young Te. Mmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted March 9, 2018 I think Tyrod is a better QB than he's given credit for, but not sure he's the QB you want to man this offense. With the addition of Landry, a more polished passer would utilize the WR weapons better imo. Not sure it makes complete sense when i type it out, but I think Tyrod is a better fit for an offense that's missing some pieces and needs a spark out of the QB position.

browns16-0 30 Posted March 10, 2018 Him and Landry should be connecting on a ton of 4 yard pass completions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 608 Posted March 10, 2018 John Dorsey wheeling and dealing. It sounds like they just gave up a 3rd round pick for Landry. I don't see how this can increase Landry's fantasy value even with Tyrod Taylor at QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 608 Posted March 10, 2018 Cleveland is acquiring Tyrod Taylor from the Dolphins and shipping DeShone Kizer to the Packers... and the new year doesn't start until March 14th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
browns16-0 30 Posted March 10, 2018 John Dorsey wheeling and dealing. It sounds like they just gave up a 3rd round pick for Landry. Actually a 4th (originally acquired for punter andy lee) and a 7th next year. Absolute robbery for the Browns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted March 10, 2018 Wonder what this does for the stock of the Dolphins players like Parker and Stills at the wr postion now that Landry is gone. I don't have a lot of faith in Parker, I really don't think he has the heart to be the player he should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vino 21 Posted March 10, 2018 I wonder if this means that Cleveland will be picking up Saquon 1st now and a backup qb 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 1,879 Posted March 10, 2018 I wonder if this means that Cleveland will be picking up Saquon 1st now and a backup qb 4th. That was my 3rd thought1. Why would this team want Landry for only one year? 2. why do they want Taylor at all? 3. If these are the case, then probably Barkley at #1 but not a good fit for a QB at #4 unless they tell him to ignore what Taylor does. This is crazy. Does Duke Johnson then become useless in the passing game? Why even have him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If these are the case, then probably Barkley at #1 but not a good fit for a QB at #4 unless they tell him to ignore what Taylor does. This is crazy. Does Duke Johnson then become useless in the passing game? Why even have him? Yeah, I know what you mean about Tyrod. Although McCoy had a good year. My thought is that they were going to get Darnold 1st. But now, if they get Saquon, I don't think the Giants are going QB 1st round. Same for the Colts at 3, so unless someone trades up to the Colts pick and takes Darnold, he just very well might be there at #4. And, Tyrod is not the definitive starter (not that we know, lol) so Darnold could very well win that position over (Although I'm a USC fan I still think he needs more experience), which could be good for Barkley. Even though I'm not a Cleveland fan, I've got to say that it's pretty fun watching them finally do something. Good question about Duke. He's probably at home wondering the exact same thing. lol.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 10, 2018 Does this mean that Peterman is the qb? Buffalo better draft someone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted March 10, 2018 I think dealing Taylor is a sign of Buffalo going QB. I do think the Browns will now draft Barkely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vino 21 Posted March 10, 2018 hmm. Does Buffalo now come into play with Cousins? lol . Keep Peterman at backup and Cousins donns the red, white and blue. I don't think it will happen but it's interesting to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted March 10, 2018 It's very interesting or even Keenum. But I think they might just look at QB in the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vino 21 Posted March 10, 2018 It's very interesting or even Keenum. But I think they might just look at QB in the draft. Forgot about Keenum, very true. Buff is sitting at 21st. There's approx 6 teams with def QB needs above them. I want to see if Buff or Arizona (if neither get Keenum or Cousins) moves into Indi's spot. Which could screw up Clev's plans if they want Darnold at 4 (assuming they take Barkley 1st). All these new scenarios with just a couple trades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted March 10, 2018 You think the Browns will still draft a QB even after they picked up Taylor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vino 21 Posted March 10, 2018 You think the Browns will still draft a QB even after they picked up Taylor? Absolutely. It's been too long for them at that position. I think their MAIN priority now is either to get an immediate starter that's better than Taylor (Cousins/Foles? They didn't give up a ton for Taylor and they have $) or get a qb competition going. No one can read the mind's of the Browns, so.. lol. If they don't get Cousins (not that they're trying, idk) then every other QB in draft or FA is a competition waiting to happen and that's EXACTLY what they want (a competition between 2 QBs they have strong feelings for. Not Kizer who won by default so to speak). Keenum, McCarron, Bridgewater, etc. I think any of those are their top priorities if the $ is right (and it might be for a couple of them given their recent history). They've brought in the offensive weapons and I think they want, at minimum, a QB that's been around a bit that can feed the ball and just not turn it over (ak Alex Smith/before last year and I don't think they're 100% on Taylor). Whoever doesn't win the job, well, the other is a solid backup. If they DON'T land any of those then the draft it is and Taylor vs Darnold/Rosen/Baker it will be. I talk about "Keenum, Bridge and McCarron" loosely, theories. They DID get Taylor, so win for them. I think at minimum, if Darnold, Rosen or Baker, was their previous #1 choice, they still go with him @#4 to compete against Taylor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murf74 461 Posted March 10, 2018 You guys cant possibly think Taylor was picked up to be their qb of the future. He was taken to be stop gap starter until their new draft pick is ready. A good move by browns although I wouldnt want my young QB watching Taylor for ANY tips on how to play NFL QB. He does nothing well besides run and throw 2yard passes to RBs and TE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 10, 2018 Is the one anomaly year of Keenum actually respected as potential starter material for a franchise? I'm not saying he is the worst, but it seems that he gets more respect than Nick Foles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see that being the case, but once again this is the team that drafted Johnny Football. And I totally agree with your assessment on the situation, of all the qbs avaliable why Taylor, I wouldn't want him to be teaching my rookie QB. Thanks for the post m Proverbs 11:7.

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted March 10, 2018 seems like keeping Kizer to learn behind Taylor would have been a smart thing to do, then adding Barkley and another impact player at 4 seems wiser 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,891 Posted March 11, 2018 A 3rd round pick seems really rich for Tyrod. I like this move better than signing a guy who is going to demand a multi Year starter type deal like Keemun or even McCarron though. Gives them an immediate upgrade at the most important position on the team and a bridge to their rookie. The Browns need to draft their franchise QB at 1 overall now.
