Last year we drafted a 28 year old QB in the first round. I wasn't happy.
This year if we draft Geno Smith I will probably have a similar reaction.
What could we do this year that would make you lose your mind?

Things That would make Me Un-Happy:
Geno smith @ #6
Ryan Mallett for anything above a 4th
Ziggy Ansah @ #6

I'm not sure if it'a player per se, although I want no part of a QB or Anash at #6. What would drive me up the wall would be the panic moves. Like Weeden last year reaked of a panic move.

If we draft a QB in Rounds 1 or 2, I will shake my head in disapproval. I will not flip out and drop F Bombs, which is what others assume I'll do for whatever reason... Don't jump to conclusions, people. If we trade down and then draft someone who isn't a need nor is a Top 3 BPA guy, then I'll scratch my head and stare at the TV screen.

I'm not a big fan of us drafting Smith, but if the FO likes him that much, then they should take him.
I really don't like the thought of trading for Mallett. If he were that good, I don't think BB would be dangling him around.

If it should happen I'd like to nab Zach Ertz at 31.
IF we trade with SF I want them overpaying for the pick.

If we give up more than a 5th for Bess ...

Trading up in the first round. Taking Geno Smith Giving up anything better than one of our 5ths for Devon Bess. And this is almost worthy of finding a different team to cheer for http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/201...-before-philly/

Boy would this make heads explode. Mine included. web page Browns could be trying to get Geno Smith before Philly Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2013, 1:15 PM EDT Getty Images At a time when many believe the Browns would like to jump the draft-pick line in front of the Eagles to get a pass rusher, some think that the Browns could be targeting a pass thrower. There’s a building buzz that the Browns could be plotting to move from No. 6 to No. 3 to get quarterback Geno Smith before the Eagles take him at No. 4. The move, if it happens, would be a shock. Smith currently is regarded as a guy who could slide to the bottom of round one, if not out of the first round completely. The Eagles have shown strong interest in Smith. The entourage that traveled last month to Morgantown for a private workout with Smith included owner Jeffrey Lurie. While most think the Eagles wouldn’t be inclined to use a rare (for Philly) top-five pick on a quarterback at a time when Mike Vick and Nick Foles are under contract, the one thing that everyone is expecting with new coach Chip Kelly is something unexpected. For the Browns, a move to No. 3 would mark the second straight year in which the Browns climbed into the three spot. Last year, the Browns traded from No. 4 to No. 3 to get running back Trent Richardson. This year, a move to get Geno Smith would be far bolder. But it would at least go a long way toward getting folks in Cleveland to quit talking about Jimmy Haslam and Pilot Flying J.

Was reading multiple items on CNNSI.
Items they mentioned :
trading down for Cleveland becoming less likely, due to 3 tackles going in top 5.
Don Banks said he's heard Cleveland will NOT be drafting a CB at # 6. likely, going with LB or QB.
Cleveland has called about Ryan Mallett AGAIN. Patriots want a 2nd rounder.
Dolphins was a 4th rounder for Bess.
-----
I'll blow a gasket if they trade for Mallett. And I know I don't want Smith, period. I'd like a trade down if possible, and go OG.

Trading up to #1 and then missing the clock on our pick ... and then being forced to take an OT.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Agree.....also if we draft a OT with the # 6 just because he's the BPA
But.....if we Draft Geno at # 6 and Trade Weeden for a 2nd round pick than trade Sheer for a late 1st round pick where we take a corner than...I'll be ok with that...But who's going to give a 2nd rounder for Weeden...?

Drafting Geno, who I feel is a future bust, while passing on Jarvis Jones, arguably the best pass rusher in the draft, who then falls to Pittsburgh. Then watching Jones beat the snot out of our ongoing QB carousel for the next 8-10 years. It'll be the same sick feeling I got when Polamalu fell in the draft far enough that Pittsburgh could move up to 16 to grab him. But hey, we traded back and got Jeff Faine and Chaun Thompson. I just threw up.

Could be a smokescreen to get a trade partner who is looking for a QB, too.
Bluff that you're wanting above Philly for a QB. A deal doesn't get done, Philly passes on Geno at #4.
Teams like the Jets, Bills, etc. who might be in love with Geno panic, and offer a lot for #6.

Or just Banner outsmarting himself because he's all about showing how smart he is to Lurie  IF we trade UP for Geno Smith, I will probably freak out and be on a Mangini-like crusade to get these clowns out of towns asap. I will probably turn into an FBI-fan until the season

I know. But it fit the thread way too nicely to not include.

It could. However, if one of the 3 tackles are still there for Detroit at 5, I doubt they move out of that spot.
Then maybe teams put the decision on the Browns. "How bad do you want a QB?" ... And offer up a bunch for #6 to get the Browns out of the Geno sweepstakes.
Maybe not, but it's possible.

Maybe we're trying to get Philly to actually take Smith, so that a player we like will drop?  God ... who knows at this point?

Unfortunately if it was a deliberately leaked bluff it wouldn't play out like that. The teams would try to trade up with Detroit to get above us. As soon as you offer to trade down with a team looking at the guy you're "supposedly" looking at, the "bluff" becomes a laughable joke.
I'm hoping it's just more talking heads ranting and the new regime/ new quarterback thing.

If we trade up for an offensive player, or pick an offensive player at 6, I will be a tad bit out of sorts. I would be okay with Eifert, Cooper, Warmack if we trade down into the teens. I don't really want a QB at all in this draft, but definately not in the 1st. I'll probably be disappointed if we don't come out with either Milliner or Rhodes to play CB2 this year.

My point is, if it gets out you want Geno, and your pick is up and another team wants Geno. THEY are going to call you.
Yeah, if you call other teams, they're going to not take your bluff to take Geno seriously, but if you stand pat and let your phone ring, you might get some offers.
It's not likely, but it is possible.

Or it could be Philly we are trying to bluff. Maybe get them to pull the trigger on Smith in the first, thinking we are sure to take him at 6, thereby allowing one of the players we are targeting to get past Detroit at 5. Maybe we are trying to ensure that one of the left tackles gets to number six so that we can do a trade back scenario.

Things that will have me throwing stuff: 1. Trading up in the first round. For anyone. 2. Going with any QB in the first round (with or without a trade down). Hmm... that doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Trading up.
Taking a TE at 6.
Not coming away with a starting-caliber CB and starting-caliber FS.
Trading away a 1st or 2nd next season.
Drafting Mike Glennon, Zac Dysert, Matt Scott, Ryan Nassib, or Landry Jones before the 5th round.
Cordarrelle Patterson or Sheldon Richardson at all.
Trading away Rubin and/or Taylor.
Anything else I've resigned myself to not take offense to.
