And we were still the Jags until last season.
All I’m saying is their roster is looking better and I would take their young roster over quite a few teams.
Oh I completely agree. But they still have the same coach who went 1-31 the past two seasons.
We got rid of our bobblehead.

Taylor Barkley Coleman Landry Gordon Njoku and Duke Johnson.
Draft best available QB at 4.
Draft best defensive players at 33 and 35.
Yeah it looks good. I don't see how they are not seriously competitive next season. They have plenty of cap to also make some moves in FA. At minimum should be a 8-8 team even with Tyrod starting. I am real interested to see what they do at 4. I agree they should go best available QB, but let's think about the options for fun.
Can trade not that far down like the Broncos, Jets ,or the Bills and acquire more picks and take a guy like Nelson (who scouts say is a HOF caliber guard)... take Rudolph later on. Have Barkley running behind Thomas, Nelson, and Zeitler... oh myyy... with those weapons on the outside.. that's scary!!! Could just take Nelson at 4. Maybe Chubb is there and they select him to have him opposite of Garett to create chaos. Fitzpatrick? Ward? Trade back up for Mayfield and take Nelson? They sure do have a lot of options!
Browns will have lots of talent on the roster this year buuut also have the worst HC in football and the worst owner too. Two things not conducive to long term or short term success.
I'm not betting on them having a competitive season until I see evidence of it first.
Hats off to Cleveland. At least they're telling the NFL and their fans that they know they were horrible last year in particular. And that they're not just going to sit on their hands this off season and hope it all comes together. At least with Tyrod you're getting a guy that doesn't seem to turn the ball over a whole lot and they've added Landry as well to get open downfield. They just need Coleman to get it together now.
And with two top four overall picks. Hey, they could be adding players like Barkley at RB & probably trading out of that 4th slot to pick-up another 2nd and 3rd pick in this draft and then some for 2019 to continue bolstering the offense.
Man it seems like I've said they have a lot of talent for the past 3 or 4 years. They just keep missing on high picks. They need to pick safer.
They, like every other bottom team, need a QB.
