DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Scot McCloughan joins Cleveland Browns as a personnel consultant for the 2018 NFL draft

I don't care if the quarterback is 4'11" and has a rubber arm, I'll start with a win, but if he can win a super bowl I'll take him. Obviously I believe Mayfield is the best but if we draft Allen, Rosen, Jackson, Darnold, or sign Cousins and we win a title I won't care what his name is or what he looks like.

I don't understand all this talk about the 3rd or 4th rated QB in this draft.

Nor I.

After watching 2 Years of these guys, it's so damn flipping easy. I don't give a rats ass about the Combine other than Medical and meeting these guys face up.

This is a 2 Horse Race except for the Drama Queens making it a 4 horse.

I need a VACATION. I'll see you guys the day before the draft.

Scot McCloughan is still running his private pre-draft scouting service, consulting many teams. He’s not working exclusively for anyone, source says.

8:00 AM - 4 Feb 2018

Is there anyway to confirm that?

Did they ever say that he was hired as an exclusive consultant?

Joke, Peen. It was a Joke.

First, that tweet was almost the same time as the news that Browns hired him. Maybe he wasn't privy to the entire situation. Or B, it does say his "service" is still working for other teams, maybe he's with the Browns but his service is helping other teams yet.

I thought I read where is was already sitting in on draft discussions. That doesn't sound like a normal scouting service.

Teams have been using services like Blesto for years. My understand on how that works is you get their scouting reports, kind of like any of you who buy inside info from some web site. They have more scouts then does a team, so they can scout more players. Teams use them for reports on players they may not have scouted and to cross check the reports they may already have. I don't think Blesto came in and sat in on draft meetings.

There are multiple other sources saying the opposite. I would, obviously, hope that he is not still consulting with other teams if he is in the Browns building for draft meetings.

This is the first time I can remember talking about 4-5 different quarterbacks having the potential being drafted #1 overall. And where 4-5 different quarterbacks have been mocked #1. This is going to be interesting how it shakes out.

I'm betting 6 in the first round.

My hope is all the big players at the position are gone before the Steelers pick. I want them to struggle for a decade to find Ben’s replacement. Not have one fall deep into the draft for them to groom while Ben is still playing.

Definitely could be right. Jackson and Rudolph at 5 and 6 could definitely slip in there toward the end.

I could definitely see the Steelers taking one of them. There's also the Saints and Bills picking in the 20's.

And if a team like the Cardinals or the Chargers is excited about one of them, could be a possibility too

Darnold or Rosen.

Young played for the Los Angeles Express of the USFL. Trump was owner of the NJ Generals, I believe.

The good news is Mayfield won't drop to the Steelers pick. They'd have to trade up. Mayfield won't get out of the top 10 maybe not even top 5.

The quarterbacks who could would be Jackson, Rudolph, Lauletta, and White. But after almost retiring, Ben says he wants to play 3 more years. Maybe change of heart or he didn't like Haley?

2 sooners backing up Ben? That's interesting.

Some of us just have a firm grasp of the obvious Tab.

Nobody does, if they did, the Redskins wouldn't be considering letting him go.

Dorsey said Mayfield and Allen were among 4 or 5 QBs the Browns wanted to look at.. the same 4 or 5 QBs that everybody with an early draft pick and a QB need are looking at...

And McCloughan reportedly said what he said 2 weeks before being hired. I don't even know if he was under consideration at the time he said those things..

I don't see this as the Browns giving anything away.

The Browns got on Baker Mayfield's private visit schedule right after the Super Bowl, I'm told. They top my list of likely destinations for the Heisman winner here:

Who is Robert Klemko? lol

We're going to be hearing crazy rumors up until the draft.

Don Rickles Says that's Marco Mongonazonous cousin.

He works with Peter King at MMQB.

Like I said, we'll be hearing rumors from every direction from now until draft day.

Right.

It's just far too common, and unfortunate, to see posts saying "Who is _____?lol" just because someone reads something they don't like in an attempt to discredit.

I guess maybe I should have asked a different question to find out who this guy was since I had never heard of him before. lmao

Everyone has his/her pick for QB , I get it .. I really have a hard time with ( hope is a smoke screen ) the Baker Mayfield at #1 pick ....

...and maybe not followed it up with an "lol".

I think you have to take your #1 choice at #1. I'm not privy to who the Giants or the Colts or the Broncos or the Jets are drafting or who they might trade up for if that's the case. If Mayfield is vetted to be the best QB in the draft by our front office, I simply think they have to take him #1. Who is to know what the other 31 teams think? Get your guy.

Who is Robert Klemko

j/c:

Robert Kelmco's word is golden, but Joe Thomas's word is not.

LOL

I SWEAR to GOD. If we take Mayfield and pass on MY PICK in Darnold, or even Rosen if we see fit, I'm BREAKING my new SUHD 4K TV ON THE SPOT.

We CAN'T take a 6 foot QB from THAT offense. Non Negotiable.

Calming down. I see what Dorseys doing. Well played. Keep it up.

My GUARANTEE in this draft is that Mayfield WILL NOT be the future QB of the Browns. It's going to be Darnold or Rosen.

*Sigh*

No one is saying that anyone's word is golden. Simply that saying "Who is ______? LOL" is a pretty petty way of trying to discredit someone whose opinion you don't agree with.

#readingcomprehension

Will you post pictures?

I didn't know he was either. That's not a knock on him, I just don't recall his name.

With that said, there does seem to be a lot of smoke around Mayfield and the Browns. I think there is only one guy who should be drafted w/the first pick, but it doesn't seem like Dorsey likes him.

I am resigning myself to the Browns once again doing something stupid and drafting a guy like Mayfield or Allen and passing on a true quality qb in Rosen.

I was all over us trying to trade for Jimmy G. Most of the people on here didn't want him. He was a backup qb. He wasn't drafted in the first round. He got injured. If he was any good, BB would never trade him. Well..........we see how that turned out.

JG and Rosen have many, many of the same attributes. Number 1 is accuracy. And it's supreme accuracy where they lead guys into YAC. Quick release. Great mechanics. Pocket awareness. Ability to go through progressions quickly.

Baker Mayfield has way more questions about his game and personality than answers.
