DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2017 NFL Season 2017 NFL Draft Anybody else really nervous?

Not gonna lie. I woke up thinking about the draft. Man...l'm worried about the browns screwing this up. I really hope they don't outsmart themselves with the first overall pick and just draft Garrett. I'm actually not worried about #12 because there's really no sure fire pick at that spot, IMO.

But I'm worried about situations like them trading back, or picking a QB with the first pick.

I feel the same way, although perhaps not for the same reasons you do. LOL

Heck yes, I am. I'm sick of this Trubisky talk. I'm sick of not knowing whether or not our front-office is just another group of thinking-outside-the-box, we're-smarter-than-you guys. Yes, I know it will take years to know that.

Why am even at work???

I'm extremely nervous. We have a huge opportunity to greatly enhance our team. We have a bad track record with selecting the right players.

Imagine how Sashi, Andrew and company felt waking up this morning? There must be so much pressure their rib cages are about to collapse.

What's your reasons bro? This is like group therapy lol

I really think that this talk about QBs is just that ... talk.

I have heard a rumor that the Browns are likely to take Garrett at #1, then try to trade down from 12. That actually makes a lot of sense, depending on who is gove, and who is available.

Nervous, no. I have no control over it.

Wonderous, apprehensive maybe. At this point, I just want it over.

Garrett scares me. I'd rather see the trade back, but I do agree with you on a QB at #1.

I'm sure I'm overthinking things, it's what I do, but I don't want a Renaissance Man as my #1 pick and cornerstone DE, I want a football junky with a mean streak. I just don't see that with Garrett.

I feel the same way. And to top it off, I have a important family meeting at 7:30 tonight, so that makes it even worse. JUST PICK GARRETT. Please. Thanks!

I would feel more at ease if the guys at Walter's was doing the selections...or some of the guys on this board!

Not one bit. They're going to do what they're going to do. If they go against what 31 teams and countless experts (?) think then they'll get what they deserve a year or two down the road. Maybe Mitch turns out to be Johnny Unitis V2. I won't hold it against them that they passed him at one. They MUST do what makes sense for this team at this moment in time regardless how Garret's career plays out.

Real antsy since I got up this morning. Let's get it on...

I was pretty confident until this morning. Now I fear Trubisky is the guy and we'll regret it. I just don't see it.

Biggest fears.

1) Passing on Garrett
2) Trading up for Trubisky
3) Drafting Trubisky in general
4) Drafting Joe Mixon
5) The Browns actually have 13 picks this weekend

I'm giong to add drafting Reuben Foster to mine

Swish, I hear ya, bro. I am trying not to think about it, but I am as nervous as heck. And I am trying to get a lot done here in case the govt shouts down.

I am not sure I can take it.

This sucks. Not knowing your FO will do the right thing. Bunch of bull$#!%.

- Yes (in general) on #1. Depends on how far down we go if a trade.
- Definitely yes on #2.
- #3 Depends where we take him, otherwise no.
- #4 I don't really want him.
- #5 Very doubtful we draft 13 players...

Just take Garrett. It's pretty low risk. Taking Trubisky could be disastrous

I agree...The QBs are all risky this year...I would wait for one to fall in your lap outside of round 1...take the sure bets whom will improve this team in the associated areas...Grab Garrett at #1...and I hope O.J. Howard or Jamal Adams somehow slide to #12 overall...

If given the choice between trading up for Trubisky, or not drafting a QB at all ... I'd pick the latter

Where's Kevin Costner when we need him!!!

Not sure I'm nervous...I have a feeling they are set on Garret at #1. To me this is the no brainer pick, because everyone has him as their #1. There is always the chance he is a bust but lets just say he does end up a bust, well everyone was wrong and not just us.

I think if we hear a QBs name announced with that first pick, than it will to me signal that there truly is something screwed up in the front office because that would totally fly against any logic, especially if they passed on Wentz last year.

I am super worried.
And I just don't have much confidence that we are not going to screw this up. Take Garrett and if you trade up from 12-only take Adams, OJ Howard or maybe Hooker

And I am tired of going to a home game in November and there are more opposing teams fans downtown than Browns fans

With the way the draft has gone since 1999, how could one not be nervous?

We have to wonder about our FO. I mean the fact is this is only their second year at their respective positions. Does that mean they'll flop? No, it certainly doesn't. But how can anyone simply put blind faith in a bunch of guys with such limited experience?

So yes, I'm nervous. I certainly hope that for the team, the coaches, the fans and this FO that they've grown and get it right. That's the best case scenario for all of us.

But hell yes I'm nervous! I believe anyone who isn't a bit naïve would have to be.

Agreed!

Been watching NFL network most of the morning and they have been talking about the Browns taking Garrett #1 and trading up to get Trubisky, during a commercial break I flipped over to ESPN and I see that Kiper and McShay are both expecting the Browns to take Trubisky at #1. If they're dead set on taking Trubisky I would rather it be the NFL network scenario.

Yeah...Just hoping they don't Brown it up once again. At some point they have to turn all these picks into legit NFL players.

Working on another baseball movie somewhere.

Are we ok with the browns trading up from 12 if they feel trub or Watson is THE guy?

Swish, as long as we get Garret, I don't care.

I would really rather not as I feel that there are better players available but I could live with it.

I'd rather not. I'd rather stick and just take BPA (non QB)

Why stop reaching in the first?

Adams! Hooker! Conley!

I'm not. I don't care for the cost of moving up, and I wouldn't pay it for any QB in the draft.

Garrett, Howard, Baker
