So Many Needs & Not Enough Draft Picks


Browns to try and trade up for QB Sam Bradford?

The Cleveland Browns are in the same boat as last year regarding their QBs: they really aren't in love with either Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn, from what we can insinuate. Anderson could even be released before his roster bonus is due in March.

Confronted with that harsh reality, the team has two options: acquire someone else to take a stab at being the next franchise QB or hope for the best with Quinn or Anderson. Speaking on that first point, the team has been involved in the trade rumors for just about any QB even remotely on the market. Another possibility, reported by Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal, is for the Browns to trade up from No. 7 in order to land Sam Bradford. They might have to move up all the way to No. 1, given the rave reviews coming from all corners of the NFL universe recently, but maybe this is just the kind of bold move that will kickstart the franchise with the new management team in place. ESPN.com

Its been mentioned several times this past week by Browns President Mike Holmgren admitted Friday that the odds are long that both Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn will be back.

"I think it's a long shot," he said after addressing the national media at the NFL Scouting Combine. "Never say never. But I've gone on record as saying I don't want a quarterback.

Note: In about a week or so Anderson (aka Lurch) is due a $2mill roster bonus.

With the emergence of Jerome Harrison at the end of '09 we again our faced with more questions than answers.

Can the 5'9 205lb Harrison hold up to a full season of punishment?

Clemson RB C.J. Spiller recorded an unofficial 4.28 forty-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine on Sunday (2/28). Do you draft your new home run hitter? He's probably not worth a 7th overall pick, but is here where you trade down maybe a few spots, get the guy you want and an extra pick?

Do you keep Harrison, James Davis, Chris Jennings and try and add an LT or a Westbrook.

Is RB Ryan Mathews a better option in Rd 2?

Our secondary was so bad last year that we need to seriously consider S Eric Berry and CB Joe Haden. Take away the 55 concussions that Brodney Pool has suffered in his short career and you have a guy who just sucks.

Brandon McDonald, lets not even get me started.

How bout our WR's

Brian Robiskie

Mohammed Massaquoi

Mike Furrey

Chansi Stuckey

Josh Cribbs

Syndric Steptoe (yep still on the roster)

How our are two rookies from '09 doing, whats going on with Cribbs (rumor has it he's getting a new 3 year deal)?

Flash/Wildcat package?

We need so much of everything but left tackle right now where do we start. We'll start to find out 53 days from now during prime time.

2018 NFL Draft Cleveland Browns Preview

***UPDATE #2*** Per RotoWorld and Jordan Raanan of ESPN: Rumor has it that the NY Giants are only willing to spend the 2nd overall pick in April's draft for a QB if it were going to be Sam Darnold. Read More    Browns also made another move in for the secondary by signing CB EJ Gaines. Read More. **UPDATE** As many of you have probably already scene. The NY Giants traded DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Really, three things could happen here. Giants draft a QB or Barkely. They could still trade out with Buffalo or another sneaker team that no one is aware of yet. Finally, and what seems to now make the most sense, they draft DE Bradley Chubb in place of JPP's vacancy.   Who will be the one? Just weeks away from the 2018 NFL Draft and our beloved Cleveland Browns find themselves again picking high in Round 1.  At this point, with the New York Jets trading up to the #3 spot it looks like this draft could be shaking u...

NFL Trade Deadline at 4pm Today.

With any of the 4 major sports, there are always rumors galour during the trade deadline. Along with an Indians team that fell well short of expectations. The Browns may also be in a selling mood. Names being mentioned have been Joshua Cribbs, Brady Quinn, Kameron Wimbley and Shaun Rodgers. Another name being mentioned as been former Buckeye Ted Ginn Jr of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins may now have realized that they took him way to high in the draft just a few years ago. However if the Browns want a vertical threat at the right price, Ginn could be there man. If you recall rumors circulated earlier this year that the Dolphins and Browns were talking Braylon Edwards and Ronnie Brown. Maybe we can trade Wimbley for Bill Parcells instead? At this point I am still reluctant to give up Wimbley. Yes, he has fallen short of expectations from his standout rookie season, but on the other hand, he already has matched his sack totals from a year ago (4), and is on pace to beat his tota...

How Does Johnny Football Figure Into This Years Draft?

With the NFL Draft fast approaching your Cleveland Browns are faced with another slew of challenges (and by challenges I really mean a giant shit storm of problems). It is beyond obvious that GM Ray Farmer is clueless on how to build a team through the draft and all the corner office suits are so inept at there positions that we can't even get any decent free agents to visit let alone sign here. The Browns are currently picking 12th and 19th in the first round. Depending on the mock draft the Browns could be doing anything from trading up with  Tennessee to draft Marcus Mariota or just turning in a blank card on draft day. For once, the Browns should only do one of two things. One: Stay at both 12 and 19 and draft the best available player or your "big board" at those spots. We basically suck at every position but LT, C, and one CB spot. Bolster your roster from top to bottom, add depth, play makers, make smart decisions. If the QB you want is not going to be...
