re: Why wouldn't Browns take Saquon Barkley first overall?

I am huge on barkley. But drafting a rb is crazy. Their shelf life is so short. Rbs are a dime a dozen. You can find value later in the draft. I think the browns should go after cousins and draft all defense. That is how you build a team fast, oline and defense. Heck browns have 2 very good rbs imo.

They have a pretty good defense already, especially up front. They need to shore up the OL, improve the secondary, and get a 2nd WR option to Gordon and move Coleman to #3. Also need to use that cap space to get Cousins or a vet QB and keep Kizer as the backup.

If I have their picks, I use the first on a receiver and the 2nd on the OL. Use my 2nd round to get a corner, another OL, and maybe a TE. This assuming they sign a vet QB. Browns have no luck with rookie QBs, they need a proven commodity and they have the money to do so.
