Kevin Warren is an ass
For some reason or another, I do not think that the Browns are totally satisfied with Phil Dawson but I do not think this guy is the answer. However, you do need an additional PK for training camp purposes if nothing else.
I think this guy could surprise and add some depth to our RBs. If nothing else, this is the type of guy that you bring in to be a special-teams player. You do to bring a QB or OL to be on your return or coverage teams.

I know Phil Dawson gave us a few good (lucky) moments last year, but I'd LOVE to see somebody come along and beat him in camp. Dawson is a below-average kicker in my estimation. Like you said though, I don't know if Reda is that guy.
I was thinking the exact same thing that you said about Austin Scott, but I was thinking it about Tony Temple instead. Austin Scott seems to me like a poor man's Lydell Ross (ouch). Hopefully he comes in and proves me wrong though.

I'd hit it!
Browns DE Xavier Mitchell (Tennessee)
Browns RB Austin Scott (Penn State)
Browns RB Tony Temple (Missouri)
Browns CB Darnell Terrell (Missouri)
Browns CB Jonathan Zenon (LSU)
These 5 guys I like bringing them in especially the CB's. I still think the Vikings kicked ass when it comes to bringing in UDFA's. Also I was hoping the Browns would bring in Vincent Redd but the Pat's grabbed him instead. Hopefully Zenon and Terrell end up working out and making the team. GO BROWNIES! WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!!!

If I was one of those DB's I'd feel pretty good about my chances given the lack of depth in the Browns secondary. If they work hard on special teams they'll be golden.

In terms of those new names I think Eric Young has the best chance to make the team. Who knows maybe a few of these corners we are bringing in will actually turn into decent role player type corners.
GO BROWNIES!!!

I just love what Bell looks like on film. High motor, hard hitting and seems to have good pass cover skills with some of the picks shown...he's got decent hands. Wow what steal for a fourth rounder.
Special teams, pfft! He looks like a starter to me. Kid is a baller and I love the way he brings the wood 6'1 240lbs and can go sideline to sideline.
I really hope he works out and plays a dozen or so years for the Brownies.

Browns upgrade, obtain backup No veteran cornerback turns up in dealing, but other needs satisfied
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, Apr 28, 2008
BEREA: In trading up for two picks in the fourth round to draft Beau Bell of UNLV and Martin Rucker of Missouri on Sunday, the Browns took care of two major needs and a contingency plan.
They upgraded their front seven with Bell, a ''hammer-type hitter'' at inside linebacker whom General Manager Phil Savage expects to be on the field for the opening kickoff Sept. 7.
They added an All-American tight end in Rucker, who set the career record for receptions at the same university that produced Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow Sr.
And they found valuable insurance in case offseason surgeries delay the return of tight ends Kellen Winslow Jr. and Steve Heiden or if Winslow stages a training-camp holdout while seeking a renegotiated contract.

Selections by other AFC North teams in 2008 NFL draft don't alter Cleveland Browns' standing in division
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Nothing happened on draft weekend to upset the balance of power in the AFC North.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the defending champions and the team to beat.
The Browns are the top challengers to Pittsburgh's crown.

Picks are now, but Browns won't know success of draft until fall

BEREA Texas, being Texas, is full of bluster about its NFL entry from Dallas.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones swaggered in front of TV cameras more like a man whose last game was a Super Bowl win, not a 21-17 home loss in its playoff opener.
In fact, there's some beef about these Cowboys, who went 13-3 in 2007 and drafted Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins in the first round Saturday.
Cleveland, being Cleveland, is nervous about whether the momentum of a 10-6 year and a few trades is enough to hang in the big rodeo. The answer comes early. The Cowboys and Browns collide Sept. 7 in a season opener.
Not that Browns General Manager Phil Savage was subdued coming off a draft in which he had to tap dance with Jones just to add two fourth-round picks.
He definitely wasn't swaggering, though, when he talked about where offseason moves have left his team.

Since they restructured Davis's contract a couple months ago to just one year. This will be his last year as a Brown so they really needed to get someone to fill that role if not this year... next.
Anybody know anything about this guy. I have never heard of this school. Not sure if it is even in the United States. This guy might be a hidden gem.:)
From the ABJ article linked above. I think Phil will get us that 4th CB that we need. I think he has a good idea about someone or he would have made a move during FA.
