Some Robinson journalist reported that 7 GMs responded back to his survey about draft Williams and trade Fields or keep Fields. All said they would trade Fields and draft Williams. 7 of 32, that settles it, we have to trade Fields, Im glad we cleared that up. Since Mahomes was drafted only 4 QBs would be considered tier 1 ;him, Jackson, Allen, Burrow. Tier2 (QBs that may become tier 1) Stroud, Lawrence, Tua, Herbert, Hurts, Purdy, Presscott Out of 71 QBs drafted only 11 are at or to become elite level in 7 yrs. Out of that 71 only 2 were drafted #1. The moral of the story is , be careful what you wish for.

Has anyone noticed that the great Myles Garrett has only had 3 tackles and no sacks in his last 3_ games?

Seen that but no legitimate source reported it. If true the beat writers would be all over it.

Agree with all of that. If Fields thrives, he is still on the team . You develop a prospect for 2 yrs. All bases covered.

Poles will evaluate these prospects completely and make the best decision going forward. Yes in 3 yrs you would have to pay Fields if you keep him but he has not laddered this team with big contracts. Sweat, Edmunds and DJ. (figuring Whitehair and EJAC gone), only Sweat carries a contract that will have a big dead money fix. 8 mil. Edmunds 4 mil and DJ 0. With cap money continuing going up , it wont be a problem if we pay him. If we draft Williams, his money will be 16 mil his first 2 years. Fields will earn 31 mil. The gap is not outrageous, money will not be a problem. If he thinks there is a generational QB, he will draft him . The key word is IF. Mooney has not had a good year, but he could be brought back on a cheap contract. We will probably find out he had a nagging injury but I think with all the attention DJ and Kmet gets its more of a confidence problem. As far as the draft, remember the names Malichi Corley and Xavier Legette .

Seen on X where sources (havent verified it) stated the bears offered JJ 5-93 mil contract extension.

Poles has had a few misses on picks but does well overall. At times Brisker and Gordon didn't play well but they are coming into their own. Brisker looks like a future all pro . I think Dexter and Pickens has good upside. If Dexter becomes the 3T Poles envisioned, we may have something.

One thought on a center draftee, Graham Barton played Center as a freshman and got moved to LT. He's a lower rated LT but is very strong and has a low center of gravity. He would be a sleeper pick, something Poles could surprise in a mid round. GBNdraft report has him ranked around 100 on their big board. I read a couple draft valuations and it sounded like center traits to me.

Yannick broke his ankle against Detroit.

I think he is trying to be more protective when he runs which isn't a bad thing.

Carter would have been a great pick but we needed to upgrade the OL to get a proper judgement on JF. The defense is coming along nicely with out Carter. Poles is choosing higher character guys who love football. Birsker instead of Pickens is working out. A potential all pro S over a whiny WR. He's bringing in leaders to take over the culture. This year he added Moore, Sweat, Rochon Johnson is a future leader of the team. Wright , Edmunds, Edwards , Stevenson are all lovers of the game. Poles is changing the narrative and we are now starting to see us win.

Poles isn't drafting a LT in the first round, Braxton is developing quite nicely He's still growing, next year will be much better.

In the last 5 games 1 Int and 3 fumbles which one was caused by Wright getting pushed into him. He is getting better at handling the ball. He is making better decisions. We are winning games. Since he came back, his report card is 2-1. His one bad game, he had the winning TD pass to win. Each game has its own report card. 4 more grades to go.

This is why we win, Browns top 3 OTs are going to be out.

What world that we live in that can have the #1 pick and #5 pick then be 1 game out of playoff contention. I love the NFL

Winning is the ultimate judgement. If they win more games that means everyone is playing better.

You wait and see, the last game of the year will be for a playoff berth.

I KNOW HE'S A HOMER BUT HE NOT WRONG ON THIS VIDEO.

This is Justin Fields last 17 games played. 278-437 63.7% 3004 25-11 92.3 QB rating 1237 yards rushing with 8 TDs total offense 4231 yards 33 TDs All of this with 60 sacks ( bad OL) only 11 games with a legit #1 WR. He is not as far away as we think. Talk on the radio today were saying that maybe we are to close to the prize, other top QBs make mistakes, take to long to throw, miss targets, . When we talk about them we didnt see every snap but just look at highlights and stats. Im back to being all in , once he gets up to speed , he will be one of the most dynamic QBs in the league.

On we on the horizon of something special or just starting to have luck lean our way? 4 weeks will answer that.

By far the need factor but the first 2 picks will be a weapon and DL. I think he may find a OC in free agency. Several above average available and a cheaper position to fill in FA.

The problem is consistent play, he can do anything great QBs can do. My conclusion is, he's getting better. We always compare to the best case example, people develop at different levels. Justin just isn't the quick learner. My fear is we trade him and he does a Drew Brees type scenario. Went from SD to NO and became a HOFer.

Poles likes athletes and got excited about his speed. Bad call

I think the best 3T in the draft is Newton from Illinois. Probably could draft with our 2nd first round pick. Rated top 15
