@Alf - Do you really think it's worth it for the Browns to package picks to get #1? I mean, I think we all agree that the Browns need a franchise QB. But do they need to be at #1? Bridgewater and Boyd are, IMO, both franchise QBs. Further, a lot of people think that Hundley from UCLA could be a franchise-type QB but be available later in the draft. And then there's Manziel, the wild card, who will most certainly be available during the late 1st/2nd round.

Personally? I don't think it's worth it, but it really depends on who Jacksonville and Cleveland are looking at. If Hundley is the Browns choice, I don't think he's going in the first two or three picks and they should be okay if it's Bridgewater or Boyd they will probably do what needs to be done to ensure they get what they need. Like little known fact, the Rams almost had the 6th pick in the 2013 draft but the deal would only have gone through if Barkevious wasn't available at 6. So the Browns may be willing to trade away first round picks to get #1, we still have like what? 8 months until the draft? A lot can change.
My prediction is Browns take a QB in the first round and a running back in the second.

That Philly game was brutal to watch. And did bad things to my FFL.
6 turnovers, most leading to points.... not a winning strat. Ball security is a must for them going into next game, @ Denver.
No excuses in any of that, though.
Guess Chip isn't all that..... maybe not even a bag of chips.

Ok.. maybe, but this...... should NEVER happen at the NFL Level.

Looks like the Center missed the count. But because the ball didn't move, everyone else got hit with the penalty.

Well, their next 5 games are: Giants, at Titans, Raiders, Texans, Browns. So that's four home games, and you'd fancy them to win at least 2 of them. If they can go 3-2 or 4-1 over that period, they'd be sitting pretty at 6-2 or 7-1. The Texans game will be the hardest of those five, and they'll be playing Denver twice before the end of the season too. All told I don't think a 10-6 finish will be unrealistic, but as the Broncos are clearly going to run away with the division, will 10-6 be enough for a wildcard?

You're severely discounting the division games mate. It really doesnt matter how bad the Raiders/Chargers are, they show up for games against KC.

10-6 is easily enough for a wildcard in the AFC
Currently debating whether to study for my exams or paint some Deathwing
It is rather interesting how those teams "show up" for the divisional games. If only they could get as pumped for even 1/2 the other games they just might make the playoffs. Weird.
And speaking of FFL teams...yeah...I was certainly expecting more from mine :p
Hmmm... I think next week I am gonna check Mean Machine's injury report before making my picks for Pick 'Em.
Dude your team is injury prone. And you got burned on Davis.
