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 ...

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...

Vikings Could Make or Break Browns Draft

With about 10 hours to go before the NFL draft, I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve. I also feel like I could possibly take a trip up to Minnesota to kill anyone in the Vikings front office if they decide to trade there #3 overall pick, therefore blocking the Browns from drafting Bama RB Trent Richardson. In this very possible scenario, Tampa Bay which covets Richardson could very well put a package together to move up the two spots, leapfrogging Cleveland, and picking him forcing the Browns to go with plan "B" (if in fact the Browns do plan on taking Richardson). Minnesota is in a very plausible scenario where it seems that they will select USC OT Matt Kalil , However, they could also move down several positions, adding draft picks in a trade, and still get there guy. For a team like Minnesota who wouldn't mind adding draft picks this year. A trade could very well happen this evening. The other scenario could be the possibility that the St Louis Ram...
