Playoff. Freaking. Baseball!
Flacco, interestingly enough, has the 12-highest expected completion percentage among the same population.
Thru Week 4 (excluding MNF), the Browns offense ranks:
◾️ 29th in yards per play (4.2)
◾️ 30th in EPA per play (-0.193)
◾️ 32nd in success rate (35.0%)
Flacco is dead-last among 34 qualifying QBs in EPA per play (-0.291).
Pretty encouraging half of football by Gabriel. Some throws he’ll want back and all of that, but played efficiently and within the scheme with some solid pocket movement.
Opportunity is everything. Big night for Shedeur.
Browns schedule we know so far:
Week 1: vs. Bengals
Week 3: vs. Packers
Week 5: vs. Vikings (London)
Week 7: vs. Dolphins
Week 10: at Jets
Week 11: vs. Ravens
Week 12: at Raiders
Week 14: vs. Titans
Week 15: at Bears
Week 16: vs. Bills
Week 17: vs. Steelers
The Browns have struggled mightily in QB evaluations and processes, so might as well throw darts at the position and hope one of them is a bullseye. If not? Two 1st rounders next year to work with.
Why I like the Shedeur Sanders pick, albeit via a rather strange method:
Essentially a lottery ticket selection with low risk and (maybe) high reward. If it doesn’t work out, no one is off any worse with it only being a 5th round pick.
14 of the top-100 prospects on the Consensus Big Board are still available, including 5 in PFF's top-60:
S. Sanders, B. Swinson, E. Ayomanor, J. Royals and C. Skattebo.
A bunch of talent still there for the taking on Day 3.
Harold Fannin among FBS TEs in 2024 (min. 40 targets):
• 1st in PFF receiving grade (96.4)
• 1st in yards per route run (3.77)
• 1st in missed tackles forced (34)
• 1st in 1st down receptions (74)
One HELL of a selection

Sunday morning movie with the boy:
Every episode of The Pitt is an emotional rollercoaster.
Have to go with the man throw. No Dr. Pepper halftime show allowed.
Chuck E. Cheese is about to witness something special:
Would LOVE to see either Buckeye RB.
Typo: Fannin should be R3.
If I had my druthers (Ward picked at 1, PFF Big Board):
R1 QB S. Sanders (Colorado)
R2 OT J. Conerly, Jr. (Oregon)
R3 RB K. Johnson (Iowa)
R4 TE Harold Fannin, Jr. (Bowling Green)
C. Ward
S. Sanders
J. Dart
K. Cousins
A. Rodgers
R. Wilson
J. Milton (trade)
M. Willis (trade)
Other
Pick one
That’s the only way it happens.
It feels inevitable that the Browns go into the ‘25-26 season with Cousins and Pickett…doesn’t it
Some remaining FAs that at least mildly interest me for the Browns:
RB J.K. Dobbins
WR Tyler Boyd
EDGE Dante Fowler, Jr.
EDGE Dre'Mont Jones
