Barring trades, here are your first five picks. Browns, Giants, Colts, Browns, Broncos.

Here's what I would do,

Browns: Saquaon Barkley RB #1; Sam Darnold QB #4
Giants: Josh Rosen QB #2
Colts: Connor Williams OT #3
Broncos: Josh Allen QB #5

Chances of this happening are slim, but...I think it makes sense.

Are the Browns going to trade up? [they have the 1st and 5th picks]

Personally I feel sorry for whoever they draft.
 
Broncos really going to draft another QB in the first?

Browns with 2 high draftpicks reminds me of a movie

My guess is they trade the number one for a combination of players no one heard of and several lower picks. And, they will use the 4 to pick the wrong guy.

That's what they do.

Kudo's for going out on a limb.

I still think Darnold will be the 1st QB picked, & of them all he'll have the best career when I saw him play
I was very impressed especially vs. Washington. Quick thinker, quick release, top notch arm & he can move around
for a big guy!

Someone on the radio--Dan Patrick, maybe---said Darnald was probably the best quarterback to come out since Peyton Manning. He said that for sure Sam was better than any of the other quarterbacks the Browns have picked, including maybe Bernie Kosar. That's high praise, IMO.
 
Seahawks - the best possible offensive lineman at every possible chance. Of course Pete will probably draft tight ends, wide receivers, linebackers and safeties.

Perhaps we are watching different games! Darnold looked terrible against Ohio State and makes too many reckless passes.

That may be so, but I think Darnold’s shortcomings are correctable through coaching and practice. He has the arm, something that can’t be taught.

Ohio State's defense was terrific & won that game. Southern Cal could not run the ball but outgained Ohio State
by over 140 yards & Darnold was the reason for that. What was he sacked 5 or 6 times? When USC played a team with a
top notch defense like USC or ND not even Tom Brady could have bailed them out. USC had a few mediocre
offensive linemen, that we called 'screen doors' when I played. They were rather easy to run through when good
pass rushers were on the other side.

Darold passed for over 350 yards in spite of the harassment he faced, USC had 10 more first downs than Ohio State. Darold fumbled
a few times which may be what your alluding too, that happens to the best especially under the conditions he faced
on that day. He got them down to the redzone 2 or 3 times in the 2nd half but without a diversified offense
could get in the end zone.

He would be a bad fit in Cleveland. He already has small hands and in cold weather, those hands would get smaller due to shrinkage.

The kid does not know how to play well under pressure.

Wow. Hand size. You appear to have an understanding of what it is like to have small appendages. I will defer to your lengthy expertise on this subject.

I was a great high school pitcher and hands were well sized. I had a killer grip and could throw a laser curve ball.

Hand size in football is everything. Small hands = unable to grip the football and in colder weather that makes it really tough.
