    The way everyone was running out of our war room after the pick was put in leads me to believe that not everyone was in agreement here and something happened down the stretch.

    Every other war room showed handshakes and clapping.

    Web, Whiz and co couldn't wait to get out of there.

    Only the Browns managed a trade in the top half (the Vikings swap was just dumb), all the other trades happened in the bottom half where the cost was much less. Again, you don't trade just for the sake of trading. You trade to get value.

    And that press conference was just awkward...

    I don't think we panicked, because the FO left hints that we might take a LT. I just think that 1-10 did not go how they were expecting. The Browns called our bluff and took a gamble on Manziel falling.

    Our front office getting played by the Browns and that son of Satan Haslam is not anything to be okay with.

    Straight embarrassing if that is indeed what went down.

    It might not have and we might never know.

    Doesn't matter now anyway.

    On to the 2nd.

    NFL Network showed it briefly after our pick was in.

    They cut away pretty fast.

    It does sound like things fell apart but I don't know who could have predicted this draft. There were so many question marks.

    I was surprised by this pick but then again I didnt have a clue which way the team would go other than not drafting a QB. They have said all along they wouldnt take one early so I dont understand why some are talking about a blown pick. You trade down if you have a willing team and can get value if not you trust your board. TL is David Stewart 2.0. I think I can live with that for the next 10 years.

    I highly doubt we botched anything. Browns weren't serious.. Trade up to 11 for JFF? They got him at 22. Clearly knew they were fine there. Jets? They contently stood pat and took defense.

    We would have made a deal if possible. Instead, we got a franchise LT. Not bad
