Geoff - do you think Cleveland should go for RG3?

You're actually more informed than I am, having seen RGIII play a ton this year.
It sounds like St. Louis is going to be selling the #2 pick for a king's ransom, and in general I shy away from trading a ton of picks to move up. That said, the Browns DO have the #4 and the #22 (or something) from Atlanta. If that's the price, then that's not too bad.
It seems like the Big 12 was pretty down this year, particularly defensively, so maybe his eye-popping numbers aren't all they're cracked up to be? I really have no idea.
Does that answer your question?

I had a dream last night that RG3 ended up going to the ravens. Seriously that was my dream.

Now that would be a terrible thing.
I'm a huge RG3 believer. I think he can transform whatever team he goes to.

A source has told NFL.com that the Cleveland Browns would like to trade up to acquire Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft.
The Browns are currently slotted to select fourth overall in the draft. While the Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Rams, two teams with picks in front of the Browns, are not expected to draft a quarterback, moving up would protect them against one of those two teams trading that pick away to another franchise.
Colt McCoy served as the Browns starting quarterback before suffering a blow to the head that forced him to miss the team’s final three games. The former Texas star posted just a 74.6 quarterback rating this season for Cleveland.
During this past season at Baylor, Griffin started and played all 13 games completing 291 passes gaining 4,293 yards through the air for a total of 37 touchdowns. During his career with the Bears he completed 790 passes collected 10,366 yards.

How many of the Browns' picks should be offense? All of them?
How would you feel about drafting Blackmon? Or passing on him?

I think Greg Little would flourish in the #2 role. They could also use some D-Line depth, but then who couldn't? I don't know a ton about Blackmon (or really, any college football player). Would you put him above or below Dex Bryant when he came out?

The only think a mock draft does is ensure that that scenario will NOT happen. That said, the Browns DO need a big time WR and, of course, RG3 is RG3.
However, if the Browns wind up with RG3, they surely won't have that additional first rounder in tow. No way does Griffin slide past two, and it'll take a king's ransom to get him (I'm told).

That seems to make more sense to me too. I've just seen this come up a couple times now (which as you said, probably assures that it won't happen).

Justin Blackmon is only 6'1"? Not a fan of taking a WR at #4 overall who isn't above 6'3".

Holy god, Griffin ran a 4.38??? I'm starting to think Adam's right and the top pick isnt totally sewn up for Luck....

Starting to wonder if Griffin's *downside* is Michael Vick. And his upside is something we've never really seen.
Thanks Adam, now I'm all in on Griffin. He'll now end up a Dolphin.
