Put me in the group of "We are in a great spot, and can't go wrong with any pick we make."
All this back and forth about what to do with the #2 pick, I think many on here are losing sight of what a fantastic position we are in.
-There will be MULTIPLE players available at #2 who don't have any signs they will be a "bust", and should be franchise-altering players.
-If we trade down, we will get a huge bounty that will help us fill a number of needs with quality players.
It's win-win. You can argue one player or one scenario over the other, but to say "if we don't do this, we're f'ed" is nonsense. You're digging too much into this and making it more complicated than it is.
That is all.....
I don't have the testicular fortitude to say we can't go wrong.
#1 Browns (Josh Rosen)
#2 Giants (Sam Darnold)
#3 Jets (Baker Mayfield)
#4 Browns (Saquon Barkley)
#5 Broncos (Josh Allen)
#6 Colts (Quenton Nelson)
Only thing better is if there was an LT type prospect we can run up to the podium again to draft.
1 - Darnold
2 - Mayfield
3 - Allen
4 - Rosen
I think Mayfield is a sleeper to go #1 overall.

I hear ya... the reason I went Rosen is because he may be the "safeest" and "most ready" pick, and the Browns cannot experience another QBfail.org for the 40th time, thus the bias toward Rosen
Had me laughing with this one! I pretty much agree... have been in the QB at #2 camp for months now.
ideally they love a QB and take him. but if they don't love a QB at 2 then so be it, don't force it. but if that's the case then they need to trade down and not stay put and draft nelson/barkley/chubb.

I don't see Rosen going to the Browns. He was vocal about not wanting to play there initially. I think that stays on Cleveland's mind.

Me, too... if we don't want/get QB at #2, definitely would love trading for a boatload of picks!
Darnold is the QB I'd probably be least excited about, which means he'll probably be the best.
I've been a Rosen and mayfield fan.
Everyone loves Barkley.
Trade down and Nelson is a beast.
Chubb might be cool with the new defense.
Even Lamar Jackson has a certain excitement to it.
I'm pumped.
You can also go wrong taking Nelson (no matter how great a GUARD he turns out to be) while one or more of the QBs you passed on turn out to be all-pros.
This "can't go wrong" thing is a big, fat myth.
If they trade down, a bunch of things can go wrong.
There have been plenty of RBs that have flopped, just like QBs. Let's not pretend Barkley is a can't miss guy and that all the QBs are "flawed" just because you think the Giants should pick Barkley.
Think about what the Vikings just paid for a fairly decent QB.
