I say, its never been done that i recall and certainly not by a team with the ineptitude behind them like the Browns, but feel free to prove otherwise.
Do you understand that now?
As for Foster...what does how he became a franchise RB have to do with anything said?
YOU claim there is no such thing any longer...remember this (court stenographer was paying attention)
I pointed out, correctly I will add, that there are those kind of RB's in the NFL still.
And what about Adrian Peterson? Ray Rice? Doug Martin? LeSean McCoy?
Are those guys not franchise RB's?
Nothing like moving the goalposts and obfuscating things though. But carry on arguing....something. |
Good grief indeed, why are you so maniacal about this? You're asking me to follow along while I feel the need to hold your hand to make sure you don't dart into traffic.
Cleveland could quite easily land all 3 of those guys in one draft. It's not at all unreasonable to say that. A top 5 pick can get you a franchise QB, especially in this draft. A mid to late round pick could get you a 'stud' receiver (although I don't think that's where Cleveland would look) and a starting running back in the 2nd to 4th isn't a reach at all.
Take a look at any draft and consider what could have been taken with a top 5 pick, the 20th pick and a 3rd round pick. You could hit all of those targets easily. Whether the Browns will be accurate in their assessments and select those players doesn't alter the fact that it is a possibility.
Here's an example using this years class: Bridgewater, Boyd or Hundley top 5, Watkins at 15 and one of many 2-4th round projected backs. There you go.
As for Foster... what? He makes the point that you don't need to go out and draft RB's high to build a team. Christ, you make my point over and over again. Ray Rice, 2nd Round. Doug Martin, late 1st. McCoy, 2nd. AP is literally the only RB drafted in the high 1st to become a true franchise back in the last decade.
Why do you think Richardson was the ONLY RB selected prior to 28th in the last 3 drafts? Couldn't possibly be because the idea of building a franchise around a RB is pretty much dead, could it?
