Cleveland can't possibly mess this draft up IMO. The new boss knows what he's doing and I don't think he'll go for a QB with picks 1 or 4 . This is the guy who drafted Fisher IIRC so he may want to find a replacement for Thomas and I don't think they'd pass on Barkley as he'd kill it behind Cleveland's O Line. 

Next year HAS to be the turning point for them IMO and if they get at least a 50% hit rate from their picks they could be dangerous.

I think John Dorsey will be under a ton of pressure to take a QB first overall in the upcoming draft. Aside from that (and the fact that Hue Jackson will still be coaching whoever we draft) I like your mock.

I think the top 2 QB's may not want to be drafted by the Browns!

I think Cleveland need to 1) get an experienced QB in - be it Cousins, Smith or Bradford and 2) get rid of Hue - you can't keep someone who has gone 1-31

I can't believe Hue is still in a job, to be honest.

I think you are completely right about what Cleveland need to do. What we will end up doing, of course, is trading for AJ McCarron and keeping Hue until the point next season when he inevitably loses the support of the team.

When the Lions are axing a coach for going 9-7 it makes it even more ridiculous that Hue is still there. 

After the 1-15 season I'm sure Browns fns would have been happy (sort of) with a 3-13 or 4-12 - at least it would show the green shoots of a recovery. To regress to 0-16 is a shambles.

The Browns will come good I'm sure . The record is bad but the performances were there . They are just like the Jags were 2 seasons ago IMO and just need someone in there to shake up the culture. If they hit on half their picks and find some team spirit that franchise will turn quickly . They have loads of money to blow as well where they can pick up so pro bowl level mercs.

The Denver D have been raving about him publicly. 

Yep, but if that happens my guess is Talib will be the casualty. :( Only a 1m dead money hit. Unless he restructures I guess but that would be surprising. Still a top notch corner.

Quote

“I definitely want to be back. I’d love to retire as a Bronco,” Talib said. “It’s probably the funnest locker room. I met real friends on this team. We got great memories — Super Bowl 50. Not even just the Super Bowl. Off the field, memories together. I love the guys on the team. I love the staff. I’d love to come back.”

To be fair , the rules of selection usually means the team will be bad .

The Niners will not be bad next season.
