look at the first 5 picks of the 2010 draft:

joe haden - starter, very good rookie year
tj ward - starter, very good rookie year
montario hardesty - missed rookie year with injury
colt mccoy - starting qb. franchise qb? probably not. good enough to get the team to the playoffs? TBD.
shaun lauvao - injured rookie year, and for some reason got into mangini's doghouse. now starter at RG who is having a great camp by all reports, and who totally mauled that poor DT from green bay on hillis' TD run.

it's hard to argue with what looks to be an 80% hit rate on those draft picks. those 4 alone, regardless of hardesty, earns the front office quite a bit of credit in my book.

That is a fantastic draft class, imo. Reminds me of the '08 class for the Falcons.

lol yes sir. Lifelong fan. IMO Green Bay is the closest thing to Ohio St in the NFL. Old school franchise with no owner...

Yes, I would have to agree with you on that one. I've got no ill feelings towards the Packers, Rodgers went completely nuts in the dome last year and I hope the Falcons can start having some success in the post season. I am looking forward to the game this year between our teams.

Since Braylon Edwards'(notes) breakthrough campaign in 2007 Cleveland has been a wasteland for wide receivers. Bland talent at the position combined with a string of largely lousy QBs -- Derek Anderson(notes) (post '07), Brady Quinn(notes), Jake Delhomme(notes) and Seneca Wallace(notes) -- have the Dawg Pound yearning for the days of Kosar-to-Slaughter. But with Colt McCoy(notes), who looked spectacular in the Browns' preseason opener against Green Bay, on the rise, optimism is in the air in Cleveland. Little also inspires hope. The third-round pick from North Carolina, who didn't play a down last year at Chapel Hill after accepting cash from an agent, has already made tremendous strides. Well-built at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, the rookie is anything but Little. Physical at the point of attack, fast, fearless and strong-handed, he has the necessary skills to develop into a premier vertical threat. Once comfortable and up-to-speed in Pat Shurmur's West Coast brand, he will be a fringe WR4 in deeper formats. With only marginal competition, he may exceed that prognostication sooner rather than later. Sold for on average of $1.20 in Y! auctions, Little is a tasty option off the value menu.
Fearless Forecast (16 games): 51 receptions, 698 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns

3 and out first drive, good play by the D to get a fumble and a good 30+ yard drive for a TD. Colt looking good again, but I worry about the receiving ability at the FB. Little had a nice catch for a first down and Jackson looks like a step up from any backup RB that the Browns had last year.
Lot of guys sitting out tonight.

Jerome Harrison needs to shut his mouth if he can't even beat out Mike Bell for backup RB for the Lions. Neither of them did anything last year. Lions not taking any chances with Glass-Jaw Stafford.
