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 available, don't force another to be the face of the franchise. Farmer beyond royally screwed us on Gilbert and Manziel last year. I can't even begin to gauge how may years this set us back...again. Two: If you are going to get an offer for the 12th pick to trade down it better be a good one. We currently have 10 picks now but an extra two couldn't hurt.
Getting Brian Hartline and Dwayne Bowe are OK additions but they are not long term answers and are not the "big play" bodies we desperately lack on this roster. Let pretend we are the Lions from a few years ago and just start drafting a WR with our first pick each year. Remember Charles Rodgers, Roy Williams, Mike Williams and Megatron?
I will say even though head coach Mike Pettine was far from the organizations top choice to run this team I feel he is the right man for the job. Too bad he probably wont last to year three of his contract because of Big Jim and his God Complex. Sorry I meant Jerry Jones complex.
Next post I will share my wish list for draft weekend.
