Cleveland Browns (2010 season)

Holmgren's on ESPiN now. When Colt was still there, they "just had to take him."

IMO, they had to take him several picks earlier. He's the expert, tho', so I should shaddup.

I hope Holmgren really is exerting more control behind the scenes than he's letting on because he's sounded kinda chickenshit in the two interviews tonight.

Glad to get McCoy in the 3rd. Looks like we're well aware that we're building for next year, or the year after, or...

Go Browns.

With the 22nd pick of the 3rd round, the Cleveland Browns select:

Montario Hardesty, RB, Tennessee

Green Bay is on the clock.

obviously a bit later, but ironic nonetheless

Overall, I'd give this draft a C/C- so far. I like the Hayden pick given the circumstances, and while I'm not convinced 100% Colt can be a franchise QB, the kids a winner and you know he'll at the very least work his ass off. Lauvao should at the very least provide depth, but I'd like it a lot more if they hadn't botched the other two so badly. Ward is reach and there were many players sitting there that presented better value. He feels like Brodney Pool all over again. I honestly completely forgot Hardesty was even in this draft because NOBODY was talking about him. To trade two picks to move up and pick a Jamal Lewis (2009 version) clone is mind boggling. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but for all the excitement coming in, I'm rather disappointed. Getting Colt in Rd 3 saved it from me being irate.

So we trade away our best pash rusher (Wimbley) and then take an odd choice at safety over good looking pass rushing propects like Kindle and Dunlap? I would rather have had Mays or Major Wright at safety but we'll see how that pans out.

Still stratching my head about Ward and Hardesty...

WOW got Colt LATE!!!!! all i can say is VALUE!!!

Alright boys, 5th rounder - this is where we take Thaddeus.

edit: I thought we had one more 5th rounder we didn't trade away? Am I wrong?

We traded some away to move up and get Hardesty

My problem with the Hardesty pick isn't Hardesty. I think he'll be a good back, but I honestly don't feel like RB is a position of need at the moment (compared to others). Our depth chart into next year without Hardesty looks like 1. Harrison 2. Davis 3. Hillis. I'm just not sure that Hardesty makes the RB group any better next year, whereas we could have potentially grabbed somebody who could contribute right away.

Yes, there is another 5th rounder (160). The Browns came into the draft with three 5th rounders, and traded away the two of them to move up for Hardesty.

yeah I know about the trade, I just didnt see which 5th we had left.

 

[jlb1705]

Shit. No Thad.

I'm really wishing the Browns had used those extra 5th to trade into the 4th instead of trading up for Hardesty.

Christ almight, to the fuckin Steelers of all teams too....
