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.

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...
