If we have learned anything from the "draft experts" its that they have no clue

Anyone got ESPN Insider? Kiper has Browns taking Josh Allen #1 overall. Then Rosen. That means Darnold falling. Thought Darnold was the first QB the Bills were rumored to like last summer or so?

Don't think Rudolph is going to be a good pro and you know what they say, the Three Eyed Raven isn't always right, but aint ever been wrong.

Props on another call u made sir

But I think if they take Allen,
I’d be surprised if it’s at #1
I think the Browns will trade down from #1,
get a bunch of picks (again)
And then get Allen 4th

At least that’s what I’d do if I were them

I find Mel to be more and more out of touch over the years


here is his bills draft

With the No. 21 pick, Kiper Jr. gave the Bills UCF cornerback and return man Mike Hughes.

With pick No. 22, Kiper Jr. has the Bills drafting defensive tackle Maurice Hurst out of Michigan.


In this mock draft, four quarterbacks were off the board before the Bills picked. Kiper Jr. had the Cleveland Browns selecting Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, the Giants taking UCLA's Josh Rosen, the Broncos taking USC's Sam Darnold and Washington taking Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield. Those were the only four quarterbacks Kiper Jr. had coming off the board in round one.

I think Jackson will get picked in the first too for sure
If he falls to the 20s,
someone will trade up for him or a team like NO or NE or PIT could take him to groom as their starter in a few years

I could see the same type situation happening with Rudolph

I think Falk falls to the 2nd,
but it’s possible he get picked late 1st
as well

There’s ZERO chance Allen falls to the 2nd round

Remember when they were saying that about Watson last year?
And he went 12th

It’s possible Allen does fall some,
but he’s going in the 1st

What did he call? Around Christmas time people were already buzzing about this. Gerbe reads it and “calls it” a couple days ago.

It’s funny how you guys think you “call” something because your the first to post something that was read from another site weeks prior.

That's a smart move, not sure if the browns are that smart though

Yeah, I don't want to do it. Maybe he'll fall a little farther like A-Rod did though. Would be willing to give up our 1st first and first 2nd for him. Does that get you to the lower teens? Maybe, but wouldn't want to give up both 1sts for him. I don't think he is sure fire can't miss.

People might not like the mock drafts, but I think they are exciting and i'll be scouring the web from now till draft day. I love the NFL draft. What the hell else do I have to look forward to?

His opinion on here was that the Browns were gonna take Allen

No one else was saying that

Did he read somewhere they were interested in him?
Of course

It’s not like I though he was in the War room with the Cleveland GM

Conventional wisdom still said the Browns were likely to take Darnold or Rosen

Gerbe said I think they’ll take Allen

So yes, I’m giving him props for that


Did u come on here & say u think they’ll take Allen?
Nope
I didn’t see anyone but Gerbe say it

Well they have been passing on good QBs the last couple drafts...

Taking Allen could be dangerous for them,
Bc he’s supposedly not ready to start

Hard to not have the #1 (or even #4) pick be your starter though
What happened with Goff was rare

Oh I agree but if they don’t trade the first overall pick they’re going to take the running back and then Josh Allen

Sabres vs Rangers tonight?
Hahaha

I’d be surprised if Darnold falls past 6
I just don’t see Denver and the Jets passing on him

Even if they don’t want him,
I’d guess someone (Washington maybe?) will trade up to get him

Even a team like Cinci, who has an “ok” QB, might want to trade up for Darnold

Mayfield might slip to the teens (or go 5/6), or even Allen if Cleve doesn’t take him

But I don’t see Darnold dropping that far

That’s what I was kinda thinking too
Build the offense around Barkley,
so that when Allen does get in the lineup it’s not all on him

I don’t think anyone said anything about Browns on here other then Gerbe Who cares about Browns 😂😂. There was articles and all over Twitter in December that browns would take Allen. Reading that then coming on here and saying that’s what will happen is not calling anything.

I have nothing against you dude. But you can’t act like you called something and say “nailed it” two days ago when you regurgitate something that’s been all over the news for a month.
