Just imagine if next year we draft Jeremiah Smith from Ohio State as our #1 WR. I would take him over any of the QBs in this upcoming draft. Smith #1, Boston #2, KC #3 AKA Slot, and at Fannon TE would be the best receiving corps in the NFL BY FAR. Oh, and btw Q and Samson can catch the ball too. Smith would make our offense so much better than any QB because of that qualitative leap when none of our WRs can be double and triple teamed.
I think Jeremiah is so good I would trade both our number 1 picks this year and maybe even next years number 1 to move up to grab him. I would normally never do that for a WR but I think he is worth it to go from a good WR corps to an elite and possibly best wr corps in all of football. I think with wrs like that any decent QB can do great things. My only fear is that the Titans will take him first to reunite him with Tate. I know if I were the TItans it's what I would do.
My only fear in making this happen is that we need to draft an elite CB and RT. This year we have the picks to make that happen but are there players worth the picks? If we can't move up to get Smith then that is what I would want to do most. CBs are so hard for me to evaluate that I have no clue if there will be an elite one we even have a chance at. Anyone know of some top tier cbs to keep an eye on?
What do my fellow Dawg fans think? What to join my Jeremiah Smith Bandwagon?

I've been thinking this since Week 2. Imagine if we can get him and somehow solve the QB question?!
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

I've only seen highlights and read the press. He's written about in terms of a true generational talent... Randy Moss type talent.... AJ Green type talent. I think he's likely to be the 1st of the board come April.

I think he's likely to be the 1st of the board come April. He seems more physical than AJ Green to me. He looks more muscular, in line with Moss & Josh Gordon. He is very, very fast and is used to getting mugged on 25% of his receptions.

Every single game he does something that will drop your jaw.....double and triple coverage, and you're absolutely right about getting mugged. The damn refs won't call a PI on him for some reason. He hasn't had one called since halfway thru his freshman season. There's also no drama at all with JS. According to all of his coaches and team mates, he's the hardest worker on the team. He's also had 3yrs of NFL caliber coaching. Sad thing is that I don't think we have a chance of landing him it will take a very high pick to bundle. Unfortunately the Rams next 3 games are against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals.

If the season continues to play out, there is no way Smith will be available even for a trade up. He will be in Los Angeles after the first pick is turned in.
Right now, the top 5 picks have 4 teams that already have their QB in place.
1 Chargers
2 Titans
4 Commanders
5 Texans
Smith will be snatched and at least 2 of the other spots will be trade ups for QBs
IF it remains the same, which I don't expect it to...
Right now the Browns currently hold #14 and a playoff spot, so lower than 20.
With every Rams win, it is going to become more difficult to move up for the QB we covet...whomever that may be.

I remember when Calvin Johnson came out.
Smith is similar. Not often a receiver is the first pick.
I don't think we have a chance to get him. We are going to be too far down in the draft order. Teams are not going to trade out if he is there when they pick.
The 2027 draft will be complicated for many reasons.
We are just going to have to wait to see when we pick.

I watched the screen pass against Maryland. Should have been a 3 yard gain. It took two more watches to see that none of the three would-be tacklers even laid a finger on him on the way to the endzone.
My son said "that's the best player in college football".
I said, "Jeremiah Smith is the best football player in the world right now."
Who's better?

5 Texans I know it's still early, but that's a wild stat.

So since we all agree that he is generational talent is both our first round picks this year and our first from next year worth a trade up to go get him and have the best WR corps in the NFL worth it?

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

We're on a trajectory to have one of the best corps in the league already. You can only throw so many balls per game; how 'bout someone to do the throwin'? Any top team that has a QB will likely not trade that pick. Any top team that needs one, won't mortgage the chance. If Smith goes to a team via trade, it will be an absolute King's Ransom. I wouldn't do that, either would Berry.
