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.

So what I am going to do is simply post everything interesting I have been able to come across during the past few days. Oh, in case you didn't hear, the Browns let the door hit the ass of general manager George Kokinis on his way out.

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 ...

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 Pasho...
