Referenced this earlier. Kyle's had his eye on Jimmy for a minute.

Kyle Shanahan liked Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo 1 and 2 in 2014, but Browns drafted Johnny Manziel

HOUSTON -- Kyle Shanahan admitted at the Super Bowl Thursday that he really liked Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo coming out in 2014 when he was offensive coordinator of the Browns, and a source said he had him ranked right behind Derek Carr on his QB list.

But the Browns traded up in the first round and took Johnny Manziel No. 22 instead -- despite the fact Shanahan, now the Falcons' offensive coordinator, was not in favor of drafting him or Teddy Bridgewater.

"They had me look at every quarterback and evaluate every quarterback,'' he said at the Super Bowl Thursday. "That's everywhere. They ask you to evaluate everyone and you give grades and you tell people who you want and you wait to see what happens."

Is the report true that he really liked Garoppolo, who's about to become the hottest QB commodity of the off-season?

"Yes, I did,'' he said.

Disregarding Shanahan's opinion on such vital matters was one of the reasons he asked to be let out of his Browns contract after that season. He wasn't on the same page with general manager Ray Farmer, who takes responsibility for drafting Manziel. Farmer violated league rules and texted assistants during games to complain about Shanahan's playcalling and use of personnel.
 
I imagine Lynch and Kyle are going to field a lot of calls from QB-needy teams for our pick at the top of the draft. Could get a massive return for that pick. Take a team to the woodshed. :nerd::nerd::nerd:

Trade back a little bit and draft Quenton Nelson to protect Jimmy. :nerd:
 
What team besides the Browns could be desperate for a QB?

Maybe Miami if Tannehill isn’t as healthy... Possibly Jets
 
Jets, Giants, Jags, Cards, ********, Steelers, Vikings, Chargers, Saints all come to mind. *Colts and Denver, too.

If Darnold comes out, someone is going to foolishly sell their soul for him.

Add colts to that list. Rumors have it Andrew
Luck potentially may have to hang it up.
 
Hopefully, we can fleece somebody for an early 2019 first-round pick. I already got my eyes on Nick Bosa. :emoji_heart_eyes:
 


That release and those feet. :blush:

Sounds like the hoodie did Cleveland dirty and wouldn't trade them Jimmy G over the grudges.


Apparently, they offered way more.

Feel like BB and the Pats did Jimmy a favor by not sending him to Cleveland. He'll do more in Santa Clara sooner than get the run around circus that has been happening in Cleveland for years. Bill sees what you guys are doing and wants to help. Reads like fate to me.

By the way Kirk Cousins was never coming here. He hasn't looked all that spectacular either.

Nice to not have to worry about drafting a QB, means we really gotta boogie for Saquon, but maybe this trade will elevate Cleveland's interest in drafting a QB with their probable 1st overall pick, say we get Saquon in addition to Jimmy G and what we already have, assuming we're more or less happy with our WRs, TE, and DL, how do we fix the OL and the secondary?
