What to do in the 2012 NFL Draft


As much as I would like to see Colt McCoy excel as a Brown in the NFL. I don't think that this is going to happen. As a fan of professional football and that of the Cleveland Browns, I want to see every single draft pick excel to a pro-bowl type level. Obviously that would never happen (in any scenario).

So, part of me wants to see Colt given another year to mature WITH SOME OFFENSIVE WEAPONS to see what he can really do. However when you have the fourth overall pick and you have a very good shot at picking a much more (all around) athletic QB like Robert Griffin III, its increasingly difficult to keep telling yourself that you would NOT be OK with Colt holding a clipboard next season.

Yes, the Browns lead the league in dropped balls, (no thanks to Greg Little) and we had to rely on a practice squad castoff from the Texans to sure up on running game for a couple weeks with all the injuries at running back. ( Chris Ogbonnaya ) Would a stud WR like Justin Blackmon be a sweet addition instead? You can argue that AJ Green made Andy Dalton's job much easier in Cincinnati this past season.

The issue again with the Browns is that we have too many holes to fill. And if they don't start filling them quickly there are also a lot of seats that are going to need filled at Browns Stadium. In all seriousness, if we don't start winning, they may want to take the name of the team and change it to the Blackouts.

I don't like to get real deep with mock drafts at this time of year. I wait a little closer to the combine to get more information before I pick a candidate to put next to that #4 overall pick in April. However, here are some things to think about:

Peyton Hillis will probably be wearing a different uni next season.
MoMass has been hurt much of his career and when on the field, does not create any separation from defenders.
A fast, strong presence at LOLB would be a welcomed addition.
Pairing up Joe Haden with another young talented CB wouldn't be too bad either.
How is Eric Steinbach doing since back surgery? Do we now need to look into a RG along with a REAL RT?

With the recent hiring of offensive coordinator Brad Childress , we may be able to start painting a picture of how the offense may be run and what the focus is going to be on.  I'm putting my money on nothing changes and a year from now we are trying to hire another head coach who doesn't want to call the plays in to the QB.

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...
