Browns took themselves out of QB range, unless they're idiotic and use more picks to trade up.
Give Shedeur another year, with Watson as backup. Gabriel should not be on the roster next year.
Have Shedeur sit down with Deion in the offseason and rewatch his games multiple times, with Deion giving him analysis/feedback from a Hall of Fame DB's point of view.
Draft offensive line with the first 2 picks, even the first 3 picks. The tackles are beat up, Bitonio might retire, and Teller is gettting older.
Wow, I would be so mad with EDC if he passed on Bain at that point in the Draft.
Bain can play the outside and kick inside as a Raven. He has the power to set edge, gets ton of pressures, if he weren’t held so much he’d have another 5+ sacks.
madubuike we’re still awaiting an update on if the neck injury is a career ender.
Chiefs aren't drafting a WR. Probably going to lose Hollywood in FA, but got Royals and Thorton behind Rice and Worthy. A WR drafted wouldn't see the field as much. Need more impact from 1st rounder. Chiefs need youth at DT. Could make a case for RB, don't know about first round unless Love fell.
@Osmodiar Remember Anthony Richardson, a similar prospect, went #4 3 years ago. Someone could fall in love with Sellers' athleticism and think they can "unlock his potential"
I could see the Saints going QB for sure, but I don't see the Saints taking a 5-9 receiver, however talented he might be, in the 2nd round. They need size to complement all the vertically challenged guys already on the roster, unless changes are made to it between now and draft day.
Sellers has been a disappointment this season, and now he's QUESTIONABLE for a showcase game at Mizzu. Beginning to wonder if someone like Dante Moore, Fernando Mendoza or Sawyer Robertson will emerge as QB2/3 instead of Sellers.
I agree with the selection of Mateer as the surprise number one draft pick. He reminds me of a young Baker Mayfield who also transfer to Oklahoma and eventually won the Heisman. Maybe Mateer will follow in Mayfield's footsteps and be drafted by the Saints and be tutored by Head Coach Moore of the Saints
I think Jimmy Haslam, a Southern guy, will throw all his chips in to get Arch Manning, a Southern guy. Haslam has an obsession with overriding the front office on QB decisions.
But will Manning (the Mannings?) pull an Elway/Eli and say Arch will not play for Cleveland?
I think it depends on what the CLE front office/coaching staff looks like by draft day, and whether the Browns address the offensive supporting cast by then. As you mentioned in an earlier comment, the Browns interior O-line needs rebuilding. (I would add that LT is still a problem, as Dawand Jones should be at RT.)
If the Mannings are convinced that a new CLE brain trust has a plan, then why not the Browns for Arch? If Arch is the real deal, then he might embrace the idea of carving out his own legacy in CLE.
@Osmodiar Hell will freeze over before the Manning's will allow Arch to go to Cleveland of all places. Plus, he would be in the same division of Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson who will elite for the next decade. Without a doubt Haslam will try however his feeble attempts will be futile at best.
I got an email from a reader and was asked to respond to you guys.
There is buzz about Manning going back to Texas for 2026, but it's fluid, and players go back and forth on the decision every year. Thus, it's definitely too early to make any firm judments.
As for the Browns, they went 1-15 in 2016, and Andrew Berry was part of the braintrust that passed on Trubisky, Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson for a DE with the No. 1 overall pick. They passed on Watson twice in that draft and could have moved up a few spots from pick 12 for Mahomes after taking Garrett. So they realistically passed on Mahomes twice. The year before, he was part of the braintrust that passed on Carson Wentz after going 3-13. Based on his track record, taking a QB is not a guarantee.
@Charlie Campbell If the Browns pick in the top 4 I guarantee they take a QB. Several teams passed on Mahomes. And you're using Wentz and Watson as proof? Ouch. Passing on Watson wasn't the error the Browns made, trading for him was. And Wentz was a bust.
Given the fact that Manning QBs have historically stayed until their Sr. years and Arch's relative inexperience, I can understand omitting Arch from this mock draft. I also believe that Sellers could emerge as the top prize (with Fernando Mendoza a darkhorse), as guys like Nussmeier (undersized/iffy decision-maker) and Klubnik (questionable arm) might be closer to Day 2 than top-of-the-draft prospects.
I personally think TEN remains the least-talented team in the NFL (they're STILL talking up Treylon Burks lol) and will again bat leadoff in the '26 Draft. (Cam Ward will be a bust, but TEN won't pull the plug after just one season.) If I'm right, CLE has to be the front-runner to move up to 1.01, regardless of Berry's history. Also of note: Chances are good that Berry will be unemployed by the time the '26 Draft rolls around. Any new regime's top priority will be ending the decades-long shit show at QB.
