Recent chatter is that there’s a swell of support for Darnold in the Browns war room.

DonnieD89 : 4/23/2018 8:00 am : link
It's now down to Barkly, Rosen or trade down.
They are going Darnold

That is the "safest" pick and their fans can get behind it.
my prediction  
giantfan2000 : 4/23/2018 8:07 am : link
Browns take Barkley at #1


according to Mayock...  
Torrag : 4/23/2018 8:09 am : link
Allen isn't accurate enough, which may be improveable. More alarming is he doesn't throw with great timing or aniticipation consistenly. I'm not sure that's a teachable trait.

It was always going to be Darnold going #1. It should be Rosen but there are legit red flags with him and 'that guy' never goes #1.

It has been there for months staring us straight in the face.

And Josh Allen dropping would be no surprise either!
No surprise it’s been Darnold all along...  
GFAN52 : 4/23/2018 8:18 am : link
according to the Cleveland beat reporters and Haslam was wowed by Darnold at his pro day. It’s still the same decision facing Gettleman since the Combine: Barkley - Chubb - Rosen. Don’t see any trade down happening.
Good

I hope the giants pick Rosen best QB in the draft imo.
This is a funny group of quarterbacks. Accuracy is the most  
Ira : 4/23/2018 8:33 am : link
important quality in quarterback play. There are two highly accurate qb's in this class - Rosen and Mayfield. Rosen had two concussions - a big red flag. And Mayfield is short and maybe a little crazy. Allen has an incredible arm but isn't accurate. That leaves Sam Darnold as the #1 qb by default.

Yes, he's gets the trophy. But then he fumbled it.

It’s those pesky doll sized hands. :)
It was probably always going to be Darnold...  
Chris684 : 4/23/2018 8:42 am : link
So as has always been the most likely options.

Barkley at #2.

Chubb or Nelson after slight trade down.
If Darnold is gone  
JoeyBigBlue : 4/23/2018 8:43 am : link
I’m all in on Barkley. I don’t trust any of the other QBs enough to risk a number 2 overall pick on them.
Well, part one of Colin's Prediction Seems to Be...  
Giants34 : 4/23/2018 8:45 am : link
Coming to fruition, though I remain skeptical of anything that is reported in advance of the draft. Not that this is any great shock, as many people predicted Darnold even when Allen and Mayfield were being floated around.

Hopefully Part 2 comes true, and the Giants pick Rosen over Barkley. I do not want to see Rosen tossing dimes for other teams.

PaulN : 4/23/2018 8:57 am : link
Take the trade down to 4 with the Browns for the top two second rounders, there are plenty of good running backs to add, you can get Chubb at 4, and have the first three second round picks, that should get us our running back, and at least 1 offensive lineman. The other would be either another offensive lineman, a corner, or a wideout.
You also  
PaulN : 4/23/2018 9:00 am : link
Could trade back again with Buffalo and probably get the two first rounders and a first rounder next season. Then you could target Rudolf or Jackson at 12, if they like either.
I never bought  
TrueBlue56 : 4/23/2018 9:00 am : link
Into the Josh Allen rumors. I could see if the rumors were Rosen, but not Allen. I think Darnold will be the pick and then it will get interesting for the giants. I have a feeling with Darnold off the board that Gettleman will listen to some trade offers, but nothing to move him and we will take Barkley.

So you would say the Giants go QB regardless of Browns pick? Assuming no trade down. That’s what I would like, I’d love Rosen in blue.

like all the early mocks were Darbold to the Browns Rosen to the Giants. It would amusing if that’s what occurs after all the talk about Barkley, Allen, trade downs etc this year. If it happens it definitely shows the media has no clue. Ralph V was recently insinuating Rosen to the Giants. As I recal he has a good track record on guessing the Giants pick.

As  
AcidTest : 4/23/2018 9:30 am : link
others have said, this is what everyone thought all along. The Browns have had no QB stability for decades. Allen is too risky. He's way too inaccurate, and as someone else said, doesn't throw with anticipation. He also has own pretty serious injury history. Darnold is the only logical choice for the Browns.

I still think the Giants will draft Barkley at #2, but a trade down is certainly more likely if Darnold is gone. I'd take #33 and #35 to trade down. At #4, the Giants could still draft Chubb, Nelson, or probably Rosen, and would have the first three picks in the second round.

Seriously. If Josh Rosen was named Brock Thorncrusher and he was from Odessa, Texas he would be the consensus #1 QB of the draft - if not decade.
Mayock  
GeoMan999 : 4/23/2018 9:57 am : link
Along with Mayock I am concerned about Rosen’s injury history, his body type, and what it could mean in the NFL.
Didn't Peter King cite a source who  
Section331 : 4/23/2018 10:02 am : link
was close to the Browns and very trustworthy just a couple of weeks ago, saying that the Browns will take Allen #1?

If they like Allen, I think they take Barkley or Chubb #1, with the likelihood being that Allen will still be there at 4.
Rosen blows  
NNJ Tom : 4/23/2018 10:03 am : link
He will be a bust.

Barkley or Chubb or trade down.
At this point based on everything Gettleman has said  
arniefez : 4/23/2018 10:03 am : link
I'm convinced the Giants will pick Barkley if the Browns don't take him # 1. Who knows if that will work out the way they hope.

If he wasn’t an @ss, if he was a dedicated hard worker (Mora suggests no), if he wasn’t fragile .... I would be right there with you hoping Brock was the pick. :)

he did, and since Dorsey has come out and refuted. There has been a lot of backlash from fans in response to the idea and this sounds to me like it may be coming from Dorsey himself --squashing the rumor once and for all.

weathermen get it right more often than not. much more often than not. For every 10 days they nail right they get maybe one day off a little bit and then the typical response is that they are always wrong.

They aren't wrong that often at all. Matter of fact they are right on the money just about all the tine.
The Browns should be going with  
GuzzaBlue : 4/23/2018 1:28 pm : link
the safer pick at QB. I think I'd be surprised if it wasn't Darnold at this point. Although, I think Rosen is going to the best of the bunch, he also carries more risk than Darnold. Been saying it all along, Rosen is the best arm talent and football IQ of the bunch. If the Giants pass on Rosen, I'd be surprised if the Jets did as well.
