What to Look For From The Browns on Draft Day.

Could we see Colt McCoy in this uniform in 2010?

Obviously no one knows whats going to happen on draft day.  And yes its fun to speculate, but look for the Cleveland Browns to make these picks come draft day (which is about 2 days and 10 hrs from now).

Although some same they can already predict the top 5 picks.

Lets just be real, we all want the Browns to take the "pretty" pick and draft a CJ Spiller, Dez Bryant, or trade up for Sam Bradford (without giving up everything on the farm). 

The Browns need defense.  We have ranked last in nearly every defensive category for....well....I don't remember how many years it has been now.  It would seem much worse except for the fact that we have one of the better special teams in the league for several years (thank you Phil Dawson and Josh Cribbs).


Depending on who the Browns really feel should be taken at #7, that is only if they decide NOT to trade down for the second year in a row, here are that select few:
Safety Eric Berry, Safety Earl Thomas, interest in Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan is increasing but South Florida DE Jason Pierre-Paul also would have to be high on that list.
The Browns are in need of: FS, NT, QB, DE, CB.

List of Rankings by position:
Quarterback
Safeties
Defensive Tackles
Defensive Ends
Cornerbacks

I think that its safe to say that Jake Delhomme is going to be mentoring a rookie QB in 2010 and then will take a backseat as the #2 QB in the final year of his contract with us. At that QB is very likely to be Colt McCoy.  Again I have this feeling that the Browns may trade down, save a little money, and take Earl Thomas later in round 1, if they can find someone like the Eagles who are willing to trade up for an Eric Berry. Remember, it cant hurt that the former Eagles GM is now in Cleveland.

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 ...

The Ongoing QB Competition/Dilemma/Nightmare

I caught the following on a CBS Browns message board earlier today and thought I would share. Normally I don't take much from these, but there are several good points made. Enjoy..... I just got to see his press conference from yesterday, and it sure sounds to me like he has no intention of letting either Anderson or Quinn establish any kind of rhythem at all. Expect a similiar QB rotation to what we endured last Saturday night.....WHY? I understand that he wants to play the match-up game, but how can a QB get the feel for the offense if he's yanked every other drive? The two quickest to reason ideas would be: 1. Both quarterbacks are extremely talented and choosing one over the other is like picking Tom Brady over Peyton Manning . 2. Both quarterbacks are extremely un-talented and it's like having to pick between Alex Smith or Akili Smith. Personally, I have two views on the situation: 1. Mangini wants to create as much value as possible for Derek Anderson so he...
