Thing is ..... If you were going to take a flyer on a QB at that point why not just fucking take Sanders and see what happens? Absolute stupidity.

Noodle arm? Long wind-up? Lack of escapability? Doesn't slide up the pocket to avoid sacks? Takes too many sacks? Doesn't take what the defense gives him? Interference from Deion? E. All of the above?

Half of that is hindsight BS people are throwing out there.

He didn't get drafted yet because of his dad's mouth, and Deion trying to politic an NFL Head Coach job off of his son's abilities all season and off season. People are passing because as soon as a Team does something Deion doesn't like he is going to be calling for the team to fire the HC and hire him.

As far as the Browns are considered, the QB we picked is a guaranteed waste of a pick. He is an undersized, mediocre project to get to 2nd string level. It's a joke and an embarrassment.

The smart move if they were going to take a QB in the 3rd was draft the kid everyone already slotted to us, the kid whose floor is a little lower but whose ceiling is massive(Jalen Hurts). You're out nothing either way. If the kid shows up and works his ass off and balls the fuck out, you look like an absolute genius for not taking him at #2, letting his dad's mouth drop him into later day 2 and picking him then.

You also have positioned yourself perfectly with the whole deal. If daddy dearest starts interfering or the kid shows up with daddy D's overblown ego? He's a 3rd round pick, not a #2 overall. Cut him loose or bench him.

It nah, let's draft a 5'10" QB with a noodle arm instead.
 
Day 3 targets from The Athletic:

  • Cameron Williams, OT, Texas: Williams is massive (6-foot-6, 334 pounds), young (21) and could end up playing any of four line spots once he gets comfortable. Dane Brugler, The Athletic’s draft guru, graded him as a fourth-rounder with a high ceiling.
  • Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State: The speedy Royals was a top-10 receiver in the final rankings by Brugler, who gave Royals a second/third-round grade. Royals missed time with a foot injury last fall but has been on NFL radars since his breakout 2023 season.
  • Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue: Brugler rated Mbow as a third-round guard prospect, but he was a college right tackle who’s still refining his game. The Browns are looking to add depth for the present and future, regardless of initial position.
  • Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State: Sawyer is a native Ohioan and an Ohio State legend for his fumble return touchdown versus Texas in the College Football Playoff. He’s athletic enough to continue to develop into a rotational defensive end.
  • Jaylen Reed, S, Penn State: Reed, Penn State’s leading tackler last season, will be drafted for his speed and ability to contribute immediately on special teams.
  • Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford: Ayomanor is an intriguing young athlete — he fits the Browns’ profile there — and was graded by Brugler as a third-round prospect.
  • Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State: His final college season was cut short by injury, but Horton has long been on NFL radars. Brugler gave Horton a third/fourth-round grade, and if he’s healthy, he could compete for snaps as a rookie.
  • Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M: Vinson is viewed as athletic enough to be tried at both guard and tackle. He’s a developmental prospect, but he performed well at the Senior Bowl.
  • Logan Brown, OT, Kansas: Brown finished his college career at Kansas after starting at Wisconsin. The Browns saw him play both left and right tackle at the Senior Bowl and could view him as a future swing tackle option.
  • Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Edge, Georgia: The NFL likes Georgia defensive linemen, obviously. Ingram-Dawkins was a one-year starter who has natural pass-rush ability and will try to win his way into some team’s rotation.
  • Luke Kandra, G, Cincinnati: The Browns have a history of drafting Cincinnati players and need to add depth to the interior of the offensive line with Joel Bitonio, Ethan Pocic and Wyatt Teller all entering the final year of their current contracts.
  • Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon: Johnson knows how to get open and was ultra-productive at the college level, but at just 154 pounds, can he last through an entire NFL season?
  • Shemar James, LB, Florida: The Browns got a starting linebacker in the second round in Carson Schwesinger. In James, they’d get a speedy young player who could contribute immediately on special teams and potentially take on a larger role down the road.
  • Maxen Hook, S, Toledo: Could the Browns add a second MAC player to their draft class? Hook played in the Senior Bowl and can contribute immediately on special teams.
  • Alijah Huzzie, CB, North Carolina: Coaches like to say there’s no such thing as too much depth at cornerback, and Huzzie is a player to watch because he has punt return experience from the college level.
  • Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee: Thornton has the kind of speed necessary to make the roster and potentially to make an impact.
