Regular readers of this website, brownsdailydose.com, know how much I think of sportsillustrated.com. It’s an outstanding site, especially when it comes to its pro football coverage.

So it should come as no surprise, then, when I tell you about another story that deserves the attention of Browns fans everywhere as the team – namely General Manager John Dorsey – tries to determine which quarterback to take with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft in 2½ weeks.

The story, by Tim Rohan of the site’s popular “Monday Morning Quarterback (MNQB) column, is entitled, “Would Jordan Palmer Draft Sam Darnold or Josh Allen With the No. 1 Pick.” It consists of a series of questions and answers with Palmer, the younger brother of recently-retired former Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer. For a 2½-month period from January to March, Palmer tutored Darnold and Allen, considered to be the two frontrunners to be taken by the Browns, at his home in California.

I urge you to read the rest of the piece, but here’s the final – and most important – part:

“THE MMQB: You’ve said that Allen is the most talented quarterback you’ve ever worked with. It seems you believe he’s worth the No. 1 pick just as much as Darnold?

“PALMER: Yeah, the one thing I will tell you is, I honestly don’t know who I would take (No. 1 overall). It just depends on the situation and the personnel. But even still, I think both of these guys have really high ceilings.

“You know, talent is tied to potential and ability, those types of words. And so, when I say that about Josh being the most talented dude I’ve seen—I mean, that’s a fact for me, and it’s an opinion. It doesn’t guarantee anything. In terms of his ceiling and what he’s capable of doing, he can throw the ball further and higher and harder, and he can run faster. He’s got all of these things that allow him to play at another level.

“No matter who the rookie is … everybody, when they leave from college to pro, they have a long way to go. All the No. 1 picks do. I think Deshaun [Watson] still has a long way to go, and he just lit the league on fire last year.

“So, it’s not a knock, right? It’s a big jump, going from college to pro. I’ve been around a lot of top picks, from my brother, or I’ve played with them or whatever. Friends with them.

“Josh’s talent and ability is very, very unique. But Sam has done it. He’s played with and against NFL guys a lot more, and so there’s just more data there. So that’s why I go, man, this is a hard one. These guys both—the floor is really, really high. The Browns are in a position where I don’t think they can screw this up.
