Ok.....Just Hear Me Out on This One.

I have March Madness.  Except my version does not involve basketball.  Mine involves that time of the year where there is no football, no baseball, and my BlueJackets suck right now.  So my full attention is focused on the NFL draft.

Everyone and there next door neighbor has there theory on who is doing what and has some source that heard this rumor from a note written on the bathroom wall of a truck stop in Lincoln, Nebraska.

In the last several weeks we have the Cleveland Browns drafting in round one Eric Berry, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Joe Haden & God knows who else.

However.....what if we chose to draft another offensive lineman?

WTF?!?!? You say...

Let me ask you this: How did we win the last 4 games of 2009? 

RUNNING THE BALL.

How sweet would our starting O-Line look with this blocking for Delhomme and Harrison:

LT Joe Thomas   LG Eric Steinbach  C  Alex Mack  RG  TBD   RT  Tony Pashos


And right now you may be saying, "But our defense sucks ass!!"

However if we can CONSISTENTLY run the ball, we run down the clock, and we keep the opponents offense off the field. 

How great was it to watch Harrison and Cribbs slash through our opponents defense and the end of last season.  Lets expand with that because we know it can work, and probably even better with another stud lineman.

And it gets better! We could trade down (YES AGAIN FOR THE 2ND YEAR IN A ROW), pick the player that we want and get another draft pick or two in return!

CHRISTMAS IN APRIL!!!!!!!

So lets change that RG TBD and slide Pashos one spot to the left and insert at Right Tackle one of the following:

Anthony Davis Rutgers

Russell Okung Oklahoma State

Bryan Bulaga Iowa

Mike Iupati Boise State

I think we all get caught up in getting the "pretty" pick when drafting in...well....the first two rounds.  We want to see our team draft a guy who's gonna throw for 20 td's, or rush for 1400 yds, or have 1200 yds receiving there rookie year.

We all hated Mangina for trading down and picking a center last year.  But once Mack started to catch on late in the year, we all got to see how productive our run game could be.

I'm not saying this is what the franchise should do.  But with all the talk of getting a position player in round one, I thought I could bring into light picking an lineman as well.  Because without them, it could be another long season.

Normally I am against rape, but that Michicant player totally deserved it.

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 ...

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...
