Benjamin Albright: Browns will select Sam Darnold

Vin_Cuccs : 4/24/2018 8:56 pm
Benjamin Albright is a guy who I have a lot of confidence in. He's usually spot on, and has a ton of info.

If no one follows him on Twitter, he's definitely worth your time.

He's been all on Darnold to Cleveland at #1.

Today, he posted this;

"Some of you saw me delete a tweet. If you caught that tweet, good for you.

No further comment on it."

The deleted Tweet was that the Browns will take Darnold.

Then, Schefter Tweeted this shortly thereafter:

Here’s what Browns’ writer @NathanZegura projects on teams’ website for No. 1 pick:

“QB Sam Darnold - All along I have believed it would come down to Darnold or Baker Mayfield. I do think Mayfield was given incredibly strong consideration, but...Darnold too promising to pass.”

Looks like the dream of Darnold at #2 is dead.

Thank goodness.

Darnold at #2 would have been a nightmare.
No surprise at all  
ZogZerg : 4/24/2018 9:00 pm : link
Now what will the Giants do?
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:00 pm : link
Doesn't bother me that much.

Rosen is better. Mayfield probably will be too.
Hope he's right.  
KerrysFlask : 4/24/2018 9:03 pm : link
Rosen is the pick.
He's changed his top pick 10 times  
Nysportsfn13 : 4/24/2018 9:05 pm : link
I respect him as a reporter, but seriously

I would not been happy...Bad mechanics and a turnover machine. Good thing the Browns love him.
Giants won't take

Qb then
Josh Allen  
Sy'56 : 4/24/2018 9:08 pm : link
might drop to BUF
I think Darnold will wind up being the pick  
Strahan91 : 4/24/2018 9:08 pm : link
but I personally find Allbright to be insufferable. He toots his own horn more than the rest of the media combined.

If Darnold goes to Browns  
gogiants : 4/24/2018 9:11 pm : link
I can see Mayfield at 2 or Rudolph in round 2.
If this is the case  
BigBlue1013 : 4/24/2018 9:12 pm : link
Take Josh Rosen.
All the Cleveland beat reporters who are more connected have  
GFAN52 : 4/24/2018 9:13 pm : link
said it's been Darnold ever since Halsam saw him throw at his Pro Day. Giants are on the clock at 2....
.  
arcarsenal : 4/24/2018 9:15 pm : link
If NYG don't go QB @ 2 or after a slight trade down, I don't think they're going to be in on a round two guy like Rudolph. We already have one more developmental QB - I don't think we need another.

I really dont think  
blueblood : 4/24/2018 9:22 pm : link
the Giants will draft Rosen...
I won’t believe anything until the pick is made..  
Sean : 4/24/2018 9:24 pm : link
I could see CLE desperately trying to make NYG trade up to 1 for Darnold.

If Allen gets past Denver Arizona will move up to beat out Buffalo. Buffalo knows this and will try to beat them to the punch.

Nope.

Barkley will be a Giant in that scenario.

I think the Bills covet Rosen. I guess we will find out.

I'm sure he also knows Cleveland going with Darnold as the most likely scenario all along as wel,l and has planned accordingly.
If Darnold isn’t there  
JoeyBigBlue : 4/24/2018 10:04 pm : link
I’m all in on Barkley. I’m not a fan of any of the other QBs. You take the best Player available and that’s Barkley.
I still like Jackson more than any of the other quarterbacks  
Go Terps : 4/24/2018 10:08 pm : link
Mike Lombardi had him as the third best offensive player in the draft and best quarterback.

If he could just get away from his mom...

You can’t a risk a number 2 pick on Lamar Jackson. Just way too many questions on him to risk that high a pick on a guy.
Trade

Trade down!
There Are 3 Good Things Cleveland Can Do For The Giants  
Trainmaster : 4/24/2018 10:35 pm : link
1) Draft Rosen, so a) Barkley is available for the Giants to draft, b) the availability / temptation to take Rosen is gone and c) the Giants can entertain "King's Ransom" trade offers for the other, better QBs.

2) Draft Darnold, so a) Barkley is available for the Giants to draft, b) the availability / temptation to take Darnold is gone and c) the Giants can entertain "King's Ransom" trade offers for the other QBs.

3) Draft Barkley AND trade for the 2nd overall pick, giving the Giants at least the 4th in the first round, the 1st in the second round (33rd overall) and 3rd in the second round (35th overall), so the Giants can entertain "King's Ransom" trade offers for the other, better QBs. The Giants can draft multiple offensive lineman in the first 3 picks and still grab a RB, CB or edge rusher.

I think trading down to 12 to take Jackson is a better option than picking any of the other guys at 2.

Well, at least you're consistent. Either you will be right, or you will go down in flames.
I think if you want Jackson..  
Sean : 4/24/2018 10:38 pm : link
you pair him with Barkley. That will mean trading back into the first, but damn that would be exciting.
its been Barkley all along  
Chip : 4/24/2018 10:41 pm : link
it was never going to be a QB. 2nd round OL which is still the weak point of this team.
It’s going to be Barkley or Chubb  
Reb8thVA : 4/24/2018 10:43 pm : link
They aren’t going to touch Rosen, much to the chagrin of some of the BBI faithful
Rjanyg and giants34  
jtgiants : 4/24/2018 10:46 pm : link
Ill be the first to admit if I'm wrong. I've been consistent from day 1 in my own opinion and what I heard. I think giants would trade down if they can stay in top 6. I don't think there's a landing spot so they go barkley/chubb

Sy: I saw earlier you mocked Barkley to the Giants. Do you think they will or may go Rosen with the pick, hence this comment? I know it's just a guess, just a question.
