Just a quick search...

I don't know the validity of these...

Mayfield 11th

Mayfield 5th

Mayfield 9th

Mayfield 2nd

Mayfield 9th


I think after the season plays out and if Oklahoma wins the title Mayfield will be mocked as high as 1. But he'll definitely be top 5.

I sort of like the theory, but since FA happens before the draft, are you just looking to sign the best of who's left, and not go after an Alex Smith/Case Keenum type player? I wonder if McCown will be available.

Wanna make a wager on the top 5 pick part?

I don't gamble ...

I think the Mock sites algorithms are wacked.

Damn, put those Top 6 in a permanent sig.

That's INSANE.

It's December. It's expected.

Just unfortunate we are in December, and already doing mocks.

I've always said it.. The off season is the best time of year for Browns fans.

Dude, do you really think Josh Rosen will last until pick 9? Lets use the 1st pick on our QB and quit screwing around.

if we do anything other than pick a QB #1 overall fire Dorsey and keep firing idiot GM's until we find one thats not dumb. I don't there's even the slightest chance we aren't picking a QB at #1 overall

Accepted this trade:

Cincinnati
Round 1 Pick 1 (1)
Round 1 Pick 10 (10)
Round 2 Pick 10 (42)
Round 4 Pick 10 (106)

Reason assuming that Rosen agents makes it clear he doesn't want him to be a Brown and that Darnold goes back to school

Nope, but he was with this draft (https://first-pick.com/Default.aspx).

Why waste a pick on QB who doesn't want to be here....and he's already had concussion and injury problems IN COLLEGE....please pass on the guy with the pacifier in his mouth....GO Browns!!!!

This was done before he said that.

Well there's not a quote anywhere that confirms he ever said that.

He never explicitly said he doesn't want to play for Cleveland. He said he'd rather get picked later by a better team, which implied that he doesn't want to play for Cleveland.

Who wants to mortgage their career on an organization like the Browns? If anyone says they do, then they should put their money where their mouth is, quit their job and go work for whichever company is rated the worst by the Better Business Beruea. Tell me how well that'll work out for them.

He didn't say that either. Here's what he said:



He was talking about going to the team that was the best fit. There's nothing wrong with saying that, particularly in light of a direct question. Everyone is making way too much out of this off the cuff answer to a loaded media question designed to shart-stir, IMHO.

They think putting words in peoples mouths will help them make their argument for someone else.

Wonder how many times more you'll need to point this out between now and the draft.

Oh ... a reminder that Baker Mayfield has no off-field issues. In case you forgot.

That's fair Pit, I was just replying...I should have said "This was done before it was rumored he said that." or something like that

I just ran another, these things kinda make me laugh. I want to see the draft of the person who got 30k points.

Round 7 Pick 1: Anthony Winbush, OLB, Ball State (B+)

Really wanted Malik Jefferson at 2.4 but he went at 2.3, d'oh! I think he'd really help our LBs, coverage wise.

I still feel we need another option at DE so will have to read around and watch some film for a mid-round upgrade.

I saw one on the Browns Wire predicting we take Conner Williams, LT (TX) at #4. I haven't watched any Longhorns football...is he that much better than Orlando Brown?

Last year, absolutely. This year, he stunk up the field. He'll be an interesting prospect this year.

No trades, decided to take Barkley over Fitzpatrick at #4, then just took names we've talked about where they looked right.

Your score is: 21907 (GRADE: A)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 1: Sam Darnold, QB, Southern California (A)

Round 7 Pick 1: Dimitri Flowers, FB, Oklahoma (A+)

Pick 1 - Sam Donald
Pick 4 - Josh Rosen
Pick 1 (Round 2) Lamar Jackson

And a few later round qbs...maybe then we solve our most glaring issue since Tim Couch didn't have an offensive line.

'2018 NFL Mock Draft: All 12 picks for Cleveland Browns'

http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ss...ncart_big-photo

Posted January 12, 2018 at 03:45 PM | Updated January 12, 2018 at 04:44 PM

By Chris Fedor, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have put the finishing touches on their new, rebuilt front office over the past few days. Now it's time to go to work.

With a treasure trove of draft picks and a plethora of cap space available, this 2018 off-season is one of the most important in recent memory. It's the off-season former executive Sashi Brown and owner Jimmy Haslam have been pointing to since constructing a long-term rebuilding plan.

The 2018 NFL Draft is months away. There's lots of time for things to change. Players have individual workouts, the scouting combine and other ways to showcase their skills. There will be "risers" and "fallers" throughout the process and the cloudy quarterback picture might start to clear up eventually.

But this All-Browns Mock Draft is a look at what they can get done with 12 picks, looking to fill needs.

The projections for this exercise were made using fanspeak.com's 2018 NFL Mock Draft simulator along with Matt Miller's Big Board from Bleacher Report, which was last updated on Jan. 10. To make it as realistic as possible, keeping great players from being available in odd places, I set the algorithm to "difficult," trying to make the picks much tighter and the challenge more formidable.

Round 1, Pick No. 1
Josh Rosen, quarterback, UCLA

This should be Baker Mayfield, who is the best QB prospect in the draft. But it's hard to envision a new general manager -- even one with John Dorsey's league wide reputation -- pulling the trigger on an undersized signal caller who goes into the exception category. The Browns opt for Rosen instead, perhaps even to swap with the New York Giants or Denver Broncos so Cleveland can move back for Mayfield. Rosen needs less polishing than USC's Sam Darnold, who has only been playing quarterback for about three years after switching from linebacker in high school.


Round 1, Pick No. 4
Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive back, Alabama

Cornerback? Safety? How about defensive cornerstone. That's what Fitzpatrick turned into while at Alabama and there's no reason to think he can't make the same impact at the next level.

If the Browns can't figure out how to best maximize Fitzpatrick then there are even more problems with the coaching staff than it seems. With Fitzpatrick in the mix, the Browns will no longer need to play 2017 first rounder Jabrill Peppers 35 yards away from the line of scrimmage, helping two defensive back spots with one selection.


Round 2, Pick No. 33
Isaiah Oliver, cornerback, Colorado

While the Browns morphed into one of the league's best run defenses, they ranked bottom half against the pass. Jason McCourty, one of the team's best players this past season, will be 31 when the 2018 campaign begins. Jamar Taylor isn't an NFL-caliber starter. If Dorsey doesn't attack this spot in free agency, Oliver would be a nice addition. Tall, long and speedy, Oliver would give the Browns a talented youngster to develop into a potential No. 1 corner.


Round 2, Pick No. 35
Ronald Jones II, running back, USC

When Dorsey arrived in Kansas City, he inherited Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, seeing the value of a foundation back to take pressure off the QB. This past draft, he plucked Kareem Hunt in Round 3. With Isaiah Crowell's future uncertain and head coach Hue Jackson having no clue how to keep Duke Johnson involved for all four quarters, Jones makes plenty of sense. A tough, big-play back, Jones rushed for 1,550 yards and 19 touchdowns this season en route to All-Pac 12 First-Team honors.

Round 2, Pick No. 63
Anthony Miller, wide receiver, Memphis

Snagging Rosen with the top pick puts pressure on the front office to give him weapons to succeed. Miller, who capped a second straight 90-reception season this past year at Memphis, finished his career with 37 touchdown grabs and would add to Cleveland's budding group of pass catchers.

Round 3, Pick No. 65
Jerome Baker, linebacker, Ohio State

The Browns need more speed and athleticism at linebacker. Enter Baker, a semifinalist for the Butkus Award in 2017.

Round 4, Pick No. 103
Quenton Meeks, cornerback, Stanford

With so many picks, the Browns can focus on one specific area to attack, using numerous resources to improve quickly. Defensive back should be that spot. Meeks decided to forego his senior season, entering the draft early after receiving All-Pac 12 Second-Team honors this season. He finished with 65 tackles, two interceptions and eight pass breakups, showing the potential to be a quality corner thanks to his combination of size, length and understanding of the position.

Round 4, Pick No. 125
Michael Dieter, center, Wisconsin

The Browns signed J.C. Tretter to a three-year deal last off-season, helping fill one of the holes along the offensive line. He played well. But depth is important and Dieter can be developed slowly, before potentially taking over for Tretter down the road.

Round 5, Pick No. 140
Brandon Parker, offensive tackle, North Carolina A&T

The Browns need left tackle Joe Thomas back. If he returns, right tackle remains the one problem area along the offensive line. A 6-foot-8, 310 pound mountain, Parker is an intriguing prospect and two-time Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Round 5, Pick No. 161
DaeSean Hamilton, wide receiver, Penn State

The Penn State wideout enters the draft with a bit of momentum, capping his best season with a strong performance in the Fiesta Bowl (five catches, 110 yards and two touchdowns). He may not have the gaudy stats as some of the other prospects, but Hamilton, who could be best suited for the slot at the next level, has strong hands and showed the ability to make tough, in-traffic catches.

Round 6, Pick No. 179
Chikwe Obasih, defensive end, Wisconsin

After suffering a leg injury early in the season, Obasih finally returned for the final six games, having little impact in his senior season. But this late into the draft, the Browns take a flyer on a 2016 All-Big Ten Honorable Mention player.

Round 7, Pick No. 220
Mike White, quarterback, Western Kentucky

Given the continued QB problems, the Browns toss another dart at the board with White, the former baseball player, who has the size (6-foot-4, 225 pounds), smarts and accuracy to warrant late-round consideration. White completed 66 percent of his passes in 2017 for 4,177 yards with 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

That’s an interesting mock....

I tried again. Traded out of #1, got the Broncos future #1 (analytics FTW :D). I can't see Rosen falling and was gutted Minkah was taken but I'd take this draft. I traded back into the first to pick up the best receiver available.

Or he could be going for the Jaguar/Eagles/Vikings model. They have Bortles, Foles, and Keenum at QB.

Plus, there is free agency.
