Good stuff Bill. But of course, nobody asked the obvious: who are the Browns picking? C’mon, we know you know. Might as well come out with it already!
All right, Dawg E, here you have it. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will walk up to the podium and announce to the entire world: “With the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, Cleveland Browns select . . . Myles Garrett – Defensive End – Texas A&M University. There, I said it. Now that they do with the 12th overall pick is still anyone’s guess – including trading up to get their QB (Mitchell Trubisky) or trading down to – yet again – acquire more picks.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
Had a quick chat with Dune today. He and I agree that the Browns should grab Garrett with the first overall pick, and use that 12th on an awesome defensive player. He suggested Reuben Foster and that doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me.
You know, it is conceivable that the Browns could trade back into the first sometime after 12th. I think that Foster at 12 may be wishful thinking, though. Probably going to be off the board by then.
A couple things do concern me about Garrett. (1) He comes like too nice a guy to want to demolish the opponent. Not sure if he loves the game because he seems to diversified. I remember a player drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals back in 1970 with the 7th overall pick named Mike Reid – a DE out of Penn State. For five years he was a dominant player for the Bengals, then retired suddenly because he was burned out between the ears.
He later surfaced in the music world, writing and composing eleven number one hit songs like Stranger in My House” (recorded by Ronnie Milsap).
Anyway . . . my point is that, if his hearts’ not really into football, what are we getting if we draft him?

Love of the game is important especially in a 1st overall pick. Think of all the guys with crazy talent that just didn’t care enough about the game. Shit, look at the Browns 2014 1st round. 30 of the 32 guys drafted in the 1st round of that draft are in the NFL. The other two were drafted by the Browns. Despite their immense talent, Manziel and Gilbert didn’t love the game enough to put the work in (and/or keep the drugs out) to last 3 years in the NFL.
That said, I haven’t heard work ethic issues with Garrett. Usually those things creep out. As soon as I hear a guy deny work ethic issues, I know 100% he has work ethic issues. Garrett hasn’t had to deny it yet.
Plus I get to write Soups sigline when we draft him.
I’d love to say “you guys have no idea how much I’m looking forward to actually fucking doing that”, but I can’t, because you DO know.
Oh God, you know.
Fuckin dudes gonna get an internet message board version of a Tramp Stamp. Just a 24/7 loop of that scene in American History X where Ed Norton Jr. gets pounded in the shower and his eyes bulge right before he gets knocked the fuck out.
Every day.
All day.
For a year.
Jesus.
My abilities to derail a thread when drunk are……….damn, impressive hahahahahahaha.
Still laughing at my New Jack City clip. Who does that?
I’d never derail a thread. Completely rude. Not a surprise @shooter did it.
Anyone been watching the Cavs? Blowing late leads is scary.
Freedom!!!
You can blame the alcohol, but you’ve derailed plenty of threads while sober too.
