The Ever Changing Mock Drafts

Rumors, speculation, trades, free agent signings, cuts, jail, death, and retirement. These are just a few things that are looked at when rat face appearing individuals like ESPN's Mel Kiper puts together his next mock draft. With anyone that has brain power of Forrest Gump or higher knows that as soon as the latest mock is put together and posted on the WWW. that something happens and null and voids the latest submission.

With rumors swirling that Mike Holmgren wants QB Sam Bradford but moving up in the draft could cost the Browns two first round picks. That is pretty costly considering our track record drafting QB's since '99 (Tim Couch, Charlie Frye, Brady Quinn, and even Spergon Wynn).

So with that in mind, lets take a look at a few....after all, we only have 32 more days until round one.

Four Moves that Could Shake Up The NFL Offseason

NFL Mock Draft Database (171 mock drafts listed)

Many have the Browns drafting either S Eric Berry (which I would prefer), or CB Joe Haden (who just this past week improved his 40 yd dash time), and now recent riser DE Jason Pierre-Paul.

Again the Browns will play a pivotal part in this seasons draft. With 12 picks and a regime where only Josh Cribbs and Joe Thomas are untouchable, I think we can foresee some players and picks being moved on draft weekend.

Shaun Rodgers and Some Insight on the Draft

A customer of mine told me once one of the greatest words to live by some years ago. “Never let your meat loaf.” Back when I heard this I only thought of it in a sexual context. But after hearing of the release of DT Shaun Rodgers this past week I was able to apply this great piece of advice from a half senile old man in a different way. The 10 year veteran had played only sparingly over the past two seasons. He ended the 2009 season on the I.R. (as so many others did as well). This past season sometime during training camp, Rodgers became gimpy and turned into the Lance Armstrong of stationary bikes. During the regular season Mr. Rodgers was lucky to play 20 snaps a game. 2009 stats: 11 games played, 11 game starts, 36 tackles (9 assisted) 2 sacks. 2010 stats: 15 games played, 1 game start, 17 tackles (3 assisted) 2 sacks. Shaun's salary in 2010 was $6.9 million, his base for 2011 was 5.5 million. Really didn't take a rocket scientist to figure ...

Browns Could be Key to Where Mariota Lands

We all know by that our Brownies currently have picks 12 and 19 in next weeks draft. There are probably countless ways that the Browns could pull something off where we add talent and depth to this team or trade away all there picks for the next 2 years and only have a spread offense QB to show for it. I say if the Eagles will give Chip Kelly the power to make crazy trades, why not try and take advantage of that? Move down a few spots, gain extra picks and just make this team better from top to bottom instead of just focusing on one or two positions. However I don't see Sam Bradford doing any sort of sign and trade to the Browns. He does not want to play in Cleveland, even as the away team. Maybe we could even pull off a trade with the Chargers to get Phillip Rivers. He isn't my most favorite player in the world but compare him to what we have he looks pretty good. Plus you could plug him right in and play from day one. From Draft Insiders- – Expect the talk of teams...
