Your vote

After watching the presser and hearing the plan for him, I give it an A.

B+


Was initially down on the pick but have warmed up to it. Its good to see us take another shot at QB and staff sounds very confident in their selection. Hopefully we finally get our QB.
I gave it a B

 

An A would be a player you know would be a great player for this team

 

A B would be a player you think could be the future

I voted F, no reason just for fun to even out the graph.

Right now, a D, because I'm pissed, and wanted Mack or at least Watkins. I hope it turns into an A once it's all said and done though.

I am drinking the Blake Kool Aide. Plus it gets bonus points for Dave hiding his pick so well.

Agreed on all counts. 
A for now.  I'm too happy that we got a QB.  Can't really grade him until he's actually played a year in the NFL.

B. I don't think he'll ever be elite, but I think it's possible that he becomes good enough to build around
The Browns had Kevin Costner in their war room. They pick later, get a more dynamic QB who played much better teams, an excellent corner from a passing league plus a first rounder and a 3rd rounder next year  while giving up a 5th and 3rd this year. 

 

Jags get a homeboy and keep their #3 and #5, plus whomever they pick next (but so do the Brown's)

 

Well good luck. I sure wanted to come see Johnny Football in Florida, but your war room lacked imagination compared to that other franchise that has had equally difficult times finding a QB.

Caldwell has already shared why he was drafted.

<p class="">Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell tells me he has long been convinced Bortles was his guy. He didn't consider trading down because he had conviction.

<p class="">Gus Bradley said Jaguars would have taken Bortles over Clowney if Clowney had fallen.

When your messiah has flashed and faded in 2 years, feel free to check back with us. In the meantime, join the Browns message board so you can tell them all about your mini hero.
B   because I like the deception skills.
A because if you like a qb, you take him right away. So happy Smile

Edit: I dumb
Gave it a C. I like Bortles and think he has a chance to be a good QB but I don't like passing up Mack/Watkins/Evans to take him.

Gus is either trolling or just finished drinking heavily.

 

I refuse to believe this.

 

EDIT: But I'm sort of glad I don't have to worry about it.

That would have been so embarassing.
