We're dead last in defense despite spending more of our cap (67%) than any team in the league, we cant run the ball, cant protect the QB, our tallest wide-out is about 5'7", our biggest free agent signing was for a fat, slow Dwayne Bowe who couldnt get separation from me, our "franchise" QB would rather get wasted (I mean really Moellered) and chase coeds than actually play QB and our HC record is 2-14 in our last 16 games.  Last night we picked off Schaub and managed to run exactly ONE play in 40 seconds despite having two time outs and you know how the damn game ended.

Paxton Lynch would be my first choice right now but I'm terrified at the thought of depending on Ray Farmer to make the pick and Mike Pettit coaching him.

and drafting exclusively positional group isn't a smart strategy. You need depth at other positions plus you will pass up star players in favor of a lesser prospect which is a bad strategy as well.

Franchise QB trumps all. If you can find him, you become a SB contender instantly regardless of the roster makeup.

Also, the Browns OL is pretty good. Why spend multiple draft picks on a position of strength? They just drafted Cam Erving to be their C of the future.

It's not college where you can recruit to have 12 hight rated O-linemen on the team and roll with the best 5.  And like the other posted said, O-line has a high bust rate, even at the NFL level.

I'm all for building a killer Oline which makes everything else on offense look a lot better, but probably easier to do it through free agency.  Getting a solid 2 O-linemen through a few drafts is doable over the course of a few years, but expecting to get all 5 is unlikely.

Mack is gone and they drafted Erving to be his heir apparent but that's not working out too well. The right side of the line isn't great either. The WR corps will be better than average if (humongous if) Josh Gordon can come back and stay on the roster. Benjamin and Hartline are serviceable. Could use a blocking TE. Barnidge is a great receiver but they could use a better blocker for the run game. For RB's, Duke Johnson is going to be an excellent 3rd down/ change of pace guy. I like Crowell but he doesn't seem to be able to get to the second level with any consistency. Not sure if that's on him or the line. Also losing the o-line coach because he's a dumbass didn't help, I'm sure. The defense? I just don't know. On paper they should be a whole lot better. Haden had been in the concussion protocol for at least a month and was dinged before that. He wasn't playing up to his standard before that anyway. Not sure if it was just a bad start to the season or what. Justin Gilbert will go down as an all time bust. Letting TJ Ward go to sign Whitner was a mistake. Danny Shelton might end up being OK but the constant shuffling of the D line and scheme continues to be detrimental. Mingo is a freaky athlete without a position. Paul Kruger was a 2 down LB in Baltimore that Joe Banner gave 8 million a year to, and he can't set an edge to save his life. Assuming they don't get a qb, and assuming they have a top 5 pick, they have to get the best WR or pass rusher they can. If Fournette was coming out this year I'd want him. I know RBs are fungible but there's an exception for AP level guys. And they make a qbs life soooo much easier when they average 4 yds a pop. I wish they'd have stayed with the shanahan zone running scheme, but unfortunately they did not. Doesn't matter, they're cleaning house. The most important thing is whoever they pick better not be a bust and better be on the field and contributing from game 1

Research is the most used resource to finding out something you need from school papers to things you want to buy. Research is also used to find cheaper shopping supplies. For instance one store may have had a pricey type of material one was looking for and the other store you researched was a couple dollars cheaper. Coming out of high school I was thinking to my self what I wanted to do for a living and what I wanted to major in to start the quest for my job. Research is also used to find shopping cheaper shopping supplies.

I used the research process to find out what type of job specific major I wanted to major in and what type of job I wanted to do when I graduated from college. I researched different types of jobs, Criminal justice, business, communications, and education. I came up with criminal justice but couldn’t decide between business and criminal justice. I did research on business and did their pros and cons. Then, I did the pros and cons of criminal justice. I came up with in the business world you can either have a good chance at the type of business you want to start or a bad business that won’t sell or bring in money.

Another part of my research I did was the most important factors in the business, was what they want for what they can afford and is there a profit that can help me out to make some extra money.The availability of the job openings, the job entails, the pay hours. I looked up also whether I would have to be in school for along time or not to get a job. Also my personal enjoyment in the job would I love to do every day I woke up to go to work.

With out research I would not have been able to get these types of information for the job that I want to do for the rest of my life. If one would just go and do something with out researching first they could’ve missed something that could have later benefited later on or benefited one more then the other.

Pryor is signing with the Browns as a wide receiver, but he also might serve as the Browns' No. 3 quarterback, multiple reports say.

 

Other reports suggest that he might also serve as Manziel's designated driver.

This is a dumb post, OP. Why wouldn't you sign someone with that type of athleticism. If he pans out then that's great for the Browns and for Pryor. If he flames out then no skin off the team's back.
