RUMOR: Look for Brandon Weeden at 41 if he is there

[BillsWin]

I have heard from people close to the Weeden family that the Bills have flown to Oklahoma at least 3 times to work out or interview Weeden and have assured the quarterback that he is on their radar in the second round.

[Slim]

This wouldn't get me excited. He's the same age as Fitz.

[Buffalogic]

Cleveland has pick 37... He ain't getting past the Browns at 22 or 37...move along

I think the 2nd rnd is too high for him.

[wmoz11]

I'd projectile vomit.

[CleveSteve]

I beg to differ...

I thought Chan was supposed to like mobile QBs... not guys who trip on the 45 yard line.

[HAMMER]

You guys are nuts, he is a stud, would be a great pick IMO.

[W1DER1GHT]

He will go in round 1 to someone.

[THRILLHO]

Let's hope this remains a rumor.

[Buddo]

At least we are getting some new rumours. I'm getting pretty bored with all the 1st round stuff tbh. ;)

I tend to agree that he won't slip by the Browns though.

[JCBills]

You guys are nuts, he is a stud, would be a great pick IMO.

An old stud. Pass.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

He can still play for 8 years... thats a long time

[THATHURMANATOR]

He is very talented. I would not hate this. If he was 25 it would be tannehill who?

[Ed]

I don't know how I would feel about this. I'd rather address some other positions first, but the age isn't really much of an issue for me. He could still play for a while and maturity is a good thing for a qb.

That is interesting that they've spent so much time scouting him though.

[TrEd FTW]

Dude's got an AARP card.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I want Russell Wilson in the 4th.

[Philagape]

Is this guy good enough that if he was 22, he'd be like top-five? That he'd be good enough to quickly overtake Fitz? Those are the only acceptable circumstances to draft him.
In other words, he better be a 29-year-old Andrew Luck.

[SquishDaFish]

I wouldnt mind it

[BertSquirtgum]

He is so old.

[X-Era]

Outside of Luck and RG3 hes the guy id like the most.

[stuckincincy]

He is so old.

IF you are lucky - you will die young. :biggrin:

[Ed]

The trade down rumors seem to be heating up a little, so if we do end up with an extra 2nd rounder, I'd be a lot more open to Weeden in the 2nd.

[better days]

He can still play for 8 years... thats a long time

He may not be good enough to play for one year let alone eight.

[baalworship]

Nightmare Draft:

10: Luke Kuechley
41: Brandon Weeden


I honestly would lose interest in watching the other rounds.

[BertSquirtgum]

IF you are lucky - you will die young. :biggrin:

I don't want to make it past 60

[stuckincincy]

I don't want to make it past 60

I don't blame you. I'm a wreck.

[YardRat]

I hope not. The NFL game is hard enough for young guys to catch on to while they are going through their physical prime, let alone for a guy that's at it or past it.

[k-oneputt]

Nightmare Draft:

10: Luke Kuechley
41: Brandon Weeden

C'mon you know better then that.
and I don't want Kuechley either.
I don't think they will take Weeden at 41, but he would be a nice fallback if Fitz went down. He would be perfect in our offense.

[CleveSteve]

He's almost at 41 already.

I keed... I keed...

[acehole]

I have heard from people close to the Weeden family that the Bills have flown to Oklahoma at least 3 times to work out or interview Weeden and have assured the quarterback that he is on their radar in the second round.


I heard this also. Instant back up insurance without controversy.

[The Jokeman]

You guys are nuts, he is a stud, would be a great pick IMO.
and Cam Newton was a stud for the Panthers last year and look where they're picking. I'm sorry Weeden's age to me moves him down my draft boards to 3rd Round pick at best.

[PTI]

This wouldn't get me excited. He's the same age as Fitz.

What if Andy Dalton was the same as Fitz? You do realize Fitz has never even broke the top 20 after 7 years in the NFL, right? Why anyone believes this will change now boggles my mind.

Over the past 4 seasons, he has the 18th most starts of any QB.

[Cali512]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo they probably were there to see who you were throwing to Brandon!

Fitz has done more than any QB has since Bleadsoe or even Flutie. He showed the ability to lead the team. Hes the only QB in years that has kept us in a game with the Patriots, and in fact dominated and won (he had 380 yds and like 3 TD passes). Hes kept us in games vs Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Giants. He actually gets the ball out quickly, and usually he makes the right read. His accuracy needs to be touched up on, but that has alot to do with his fundamentals which our new QB coach Lee, said hed work on. I believe in Fitz, all he has to do is not **** it up. Our team should be good without Fitz needing to be great

[X-Era]

A commentator last night said that the age issue should not be an issue since you can probably get 5 years out of him as a starter.

That man? Bill Polian.

And yes... I agree.

[Jan Reimers]

Age is just a number. Take it from a man with a BIG number. But what I do best - drink - I can do a lot better than many of you young pups. Weeden would be fine.

I don't want you to either.

Not even close compared to his counterparts, you have no idea what you are talking about when you compare Fitz to anyone other than his counterparts with the rule changes in place. Try again.

The team better good because Fitz isn't close to being good let alone great.

He played well but our troubles began when we lost the heart & soul of our O. Freddy. That cannot happen again. Hell, losing Stevie would decimate this team as well.

[TigerJ]

Kirk Cousins has also said that Buffalo has shown more interest in him than any other team. Weeden in the second and Cousins in the third? No, it's not going to happen that way. I do think that Buffalo's interest in multiple QBs is evidence that they are feeling it as a need.

[Buffalogic]

Cleveland has pick 37... He ain't getting past the Browns at 22 or 37...move alongGood call, me

[BidsJr]

He Gone.

[BloFan4Life]

Dodged a bullet big time. By the time this guy develops he will be over 30. Just not good value.

[CleveSteve]

I'm so disgusted. Only the Browns could screw up this boatload of picks this much.

You hit the nail on the head there guy!

Well you can be happy they have less picks now thanks to the Richardson trade. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it unless they worried the Vikings where going to move the pick to Tampa.

They were going to move the pick to Tampa. I don't understand why, though, you (the Browns) don't stay at 4 and get your blue chip player (whether it be Richardson or Blackmon) and save your trade ammo to maneuver and snag value players who aren't no-brainer picks.

Then on top of it to draft a QB at 22 who has never taken a snap from under center in his life into a system that you say "takes two years to learn" after just suffering through the last two years with the previous guy learning, and still not have anyone to throw the ball to, after you just passed on the guy that made that QB look great to the tune of four draft choices.

Oh well, at least I can still point and laugh at Seattle for drafting Bruce Irvin at 15... I think.

Yeah Seattle's pick of Irvin was the WTF? moment of the draft. The Browns needed Richardson in the worst way. Blackmon could be another Torry Holt but not sure he could do so with McCoy tossing him the rock. Richardson at least gives them a legitimate guy on offense that the opposition has to worry about from day. Whereas Blackmon could be contained. I guess they didn't give up a whole lot considering how low the picks they gave up were but again I'm not sure Minny was ever looking away from Kalil. In terms of Tampa I don't know what they were thinking. In terms of Weeden I think they're hoping he pulls off an Andy Dalton move but I agree he's a big time question mark.

Deep hand-off to Richardson from the shotgun? :scratch:

I think it says a lot about how they viewed Richardson relative to the other draftees.

[ZAZusmc03]

Browns GM said about Weeden "you don't take him if he isn't going to start". Goodbye colt.

[k-oneputt]

He'll be starting.
Mccoy is an NFL backup at best.

Colt is about to be traded to GB.


http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/27/report-browns-talking-colt-mccoy-trade-with-packers/

If all it took was a 6th or 7th I wouldnt mind trading for him. Id rather that then draft anyone.

I don't think a 6th or 7th would be bad at all for Colt. I think he would be much more suitable as a backup than Thigpen. Especially for the offense we run.

I'd be...concussed.

And you have to look at your team's salary structure. It's not just a free day of shopping at the corner soda fountain...
