I'm seriously digging Dorsey's approach so far

Well reading that last page was time I'll never get back. :D

I'll look at it this way: Dorsey still saying he might be open to trade offers for #1. If the Giants are hot for Darnold and Dorsey's plan is Mayfield then the Giants are the only one he's gonna listen to.

Got a feeling Giants are ok with either Darnold or Rosen so no need for them to move up.

"I know this... John Dorsey knew 6-8 weeks ago who he wanted at #1. Basically told owner a month ago, just told Hue Jackson two days ago."

"Keeping it a secret was essential for a lot of reasons: what if he gets injured/arrested/something comes out? Also it could have been beneficial to them with their #4 pick."

"But we knew Dorsey was very high on Mayfield when he took the job, and Scot McCloughin was on record as being very high on Baker Mayfield. They didn't change their mind, they kept it undercover."

Man with a plan.

just an opinion. Dorsey has gone on to choose players that will CHANGE the culture in Cleveland. Many of his picks are guys who REFUSED to give up.. refused to lose AND made it!.. these fuckers are on OUR team now.. !! Get ready, it's gonna be fun!

GREAT article.
 
So Hue did it again. Got himself caught in telling an exageration..if not a full on lie.

He tried to say he knew who the Browns were drafting DAYS in advance...when in fact NOBODY IN THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION (except maybe Haslam) knew what order the QB's were ranked until 9 HOURS before the draft.

My favorite: Dorsey and a contingent of scouts and coaches spent the week of March 19 visiting four quarterbacks—in order, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen. They dined with Rosen on Monday, worked him out Tuesday, dined with Darnold on Tuesday, etc. Dorsey never told a soul which quarterback he preferred, though he had a very good idea on March 22 after leaving Oklahoma that he wanted Mayfield. Back in Ohio, at the top of the quarterback list on the Browns’ magnetic draft board, Dorsey turned the magnetic rectangular quarterback nametags upright. And at the top of the QB list, while every other name on the massive board was horizontally magnetized, four vertical QB nametags were at the top.

Rosen one, Darnold two, Mayfield three, Allen four. From left to right.

“Right in the order we visited them, and I kept them in that position until the day of the draft,” Dorsey told me.

Dorsey is still getting to know a lot of the people in the Browns’ front office, and they are still getting to know him. Throughout his first five months running the football side of the franchise, Dorsey said, “I have harped on trust and honesty. What’s said in this room stays in this room.” Now, he just wanted a little privacy insurance. If he kept the quarterbacks in this vertical bunch, Dorsey would be the only one who would know what the 1-through-4 order was.

Late Thursday morning, about nine hours before the draft, he gathered the senior staff to tell them the order of the quarterbacks, and what he was likely to do with the top pick—take Mayfield. He kept the board covered until early evening, and shortly before the draft began, the room knew the QB order. And, of course, who the top pick would be.

Congrats Hue...when the Media starts putting 1+1 together...you are going to look pretty bad.

Scot McCloughan will NOT be part of the Browns FO. He is back to being a consultant. Combine that with 3 more personnel staff moves and it seems the Browns are still in the process of putting together their final FO product.
