The #Browns have been informed they’re out of the running for Deshaun Watson, a source says. The team still views Baker Mayfield as their quarterback going forward. They told Mayfield’s agents at the Combine they’d only explore top-tier QBs such as Watson.

I imagine this will end the Mayfield to Indy speculation. :cool:

In 2021, Corral completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,349 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. He rushed for 11 touchdowns and 597 yards as well. Corral took the risk of playing in Ole Miss' bowl game and suffered a foot injury. Fortunately for Corral, X-rays were negative for a break.

Corral was an accurate passer in 2021, showing off a strong arm, developed field vision, mobility, and toughness as a runner. He did a better job of managing the game in 2021 than in previous seasons, plus showed improved decision-making and ball security. Corral has makeup concerns however, and Corral himself has said he had maturity issues early in his college career, but now is focused and putting in 12-hour days.

Not saying that he is "the guy" or is a sure fire starter. But, honestly, I would be all for using our 2nd round pick on a kid whom our staff thinks has the skills and is coachable over a veteran re-tread who has shown they are not winners.

Just food for thought.

My wonder, if so, if the kid is not Matt Corral from Ole Miss. This write up from Walter Football seems to check every box Ballard and Reich look for:

If they really want the kid from old Miss, they will need to trade up into the first round to get him. There are other teams needing a QB and they wont be shy about moving up in the draft

Las Vegas is in the process of extending Carr. He is off the table for the Colts.

It's a shame, because I like Carr, but I hate McPhatass, so I will be forced to direct all my negative energy toward Vegas!:eek:

Watson is going to Cleveland.

So the options are dwindling some. Either a trade for Mayfield or Jimmy G, or signing Mariotta or Winston, or just rolling with Ehlinger.

I think they'll get the Mayfield trade done, but it's not a very confident prediction.

Might toss Matty Ice in the conversation. He delayed his roster bonus until Monday for the Falcons. They didn't get the criminal, so not sure Ryan would want to stay after that. I wouldn't, but I would for what he is making :)
