Browns Not Completely Sold On Baylor QB Robert Griffin III?

Len Pasquarelli of the Sports Xchange reports that a very experienced AFC scout suggested to him that the Cleveland Browns might not have to trade up to acquire Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Robert Griffin III. And second, that, while team officials have all but decided that Colt McCoy is probably not the guy to advance the team, the club isn't completely sold on Griffin yet either. Said the scout: "If they want [Griffin], he could fall right to them [with the fourth overall choice]. But they have to decide if they want him first." The Browns are one of three franchises with two first-round picks (Cincinnati and New England are the others), owning their own, at No. 4, and the Atlanta pick (22nd), because of last year's Julio Jones trade. The early rationale has been that St. Louis, which has the second overall choice, will market the pick to a team desiring to take Griffin, since the Rams already have Sam Bradford in place. But the scout opined that the Browns might not necessarily be a buyer for the No. 2 pick, unless they are "completely sold" on Griffin.

No trading up. If he's available at 4, I'm open to discussion, but no trading up.



(unless it's for Luck)

Yea I would never take a RB in the top 5. I'd even question taking one in the top 10. Although Richardson might be an exception to the rule. I still wouldn't do it.

And it's tough to be completely sold on any QB in any draft unless his name is Luck. But I think this is mostly a smokescreen.

I'm not convinced that he is. Don't get me wrong I like him but I think an elite RB can do wonders for an offense.

well, none of us really know 'for sure' how ANY college player is going to do in the NFL .............. even the best pro scouts will tell you that it's a crapshoot with ANY player ........... there is no such thing as a 'sure thing'

I love Richardson's potential and skills but I agree RBs are less likely to carry a team, but superstars exist at almost every position and that's what this team needs, playmakers. That said, I doubt Heckert will be content on draft day with the value of a RB that high. If there are no other players they want there, he won't hesitate to move down and address a position with more capability to make an immediate impact. Peterson was and is still near the best in the league and it never got the Vikes anywhere. He's impressed, sold tickets and claimed rushing titles but it hasn't produced much. That team got the farthest on the back of the old man gunslinger.
