Browns could pass on Rosen given his desire to go to NYG

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Wgr was acting like the joke was on everyone when the Browns traded for Brock. Like the Browns were somehow reinventing the wheel. That team is a complete disgrace and everything about it should be ashamed. I don’t care how bad the players are. They are 1-29 under Jackson. No matter what he should be fired. Every thing that team has done has been wrong. What they are trying to do, does not work in the NFL. It does work in the NHL obviously, I mean look at how great the Sabres are...WGR was asking for that tank on opening day. Trying to lose does not pay. If you get there by chance, then you get there. To try and lose before the year even starts, should somehow result in a forced sale of a team. Obviously I realize that’s impossible. I just hate it.

I wouldn't bet on that. Rosen is an independent thinker with a non-conformist attitude. 

 

LOL. Wanting to play for the Giants is neither independent thinking nor non-conformity.

If I'm Cleveland I draft the guy and then give him the option of not playing for 4 years or signing the contract...

Enough of these players thinking they can control what team they play on.

No one picks ahead of them

 

They'll still find a way to mess it up and let someone pick before them. 

 

"And with the -1st pick in the draft..."

Rosen could easily not declare and go back to UCLA.

I honestly can't blame anyone for NOT wanting to play for that horribly ran organization. They are pure crap.

If Darnold is available and they choose Rosen, this will set the Browns back for a decade.

[Woodman19]

Seems an opportunity to play musical chairs at the top.

[YoloinOhio]

I mentioned this back when it was rumored that Darnold wouldn’t declare if Browns had first pick, but trying to avoid the Browns at the top of the draft in any year is a pretty fruitless endeavor. Returning to school for that reason could backfire as it’s likely the Browns will have the first pick again next year.

Not going to happen. He doesn't even remotely fit into Chip Kelly's plans nor his offensive system of run first. Rosen will definitely come out this April and whoever is dumb enough to pick him is going to be surely disappointed. The best comparison I've heard yet of Josh Rosen is Jay Cutler and that is very accurate.

The Brown's have a sharp GM who might be able to change his mind or else trade picks with NY. 

 

Maybe the next GM for NY might want to trade down to help rebuild.

There would be a certain irony here in that the same thing happened with Eli.  San Diego drafted him #1, but he had stated prior to draft he wasn't goin to play for them.  So they worked out trade with Giants who used their first pick on Rivers, then traded him and some picks for the Eli pick.   

 

Could happen again.

Your assessment runs contrary to most.  We'll see if you're right in the long run.

I don’t think that it works that way. If he doesn’t sign the contract he is eligible again for the draft a year later (Bo Jackson). 

He'll sign. He doesn't want to play for the Browns but he will.

!@#$ what Rosen wants. If I’m the Browns I take him.  Let him sit out a year he wants.

Exactly. He won't sit.

They cannot just spend a 1st round pick at the top of the draft with no return. 

They will not. Garrett was very similar and is a beast.

Exactly right. He won't go back after declaring.

 

calling this the "price" of tanking is much ado about nothing.

Sure , going after my guys, they just couldn't have gotten one last year

Rosen is a polypropylene bag filled with vinegar and water.

[sullim4]

Can you blame the guy?  The Browns are two orders of magnitude worse than our own team, and that says a lot!
