Finally someone in the media to counteract Mayock or McShay or whoever the shitbag was that said RT was a "must pick" at #4.

Can we stick that manniquin in the secondary as a part of the nickel package?

The Browns are nowhere near the playoffs. In fact, they made them once since returning to the NFL, and that was back in 2002. McCoy may not be the quarterback to get them there, but nobody will know until he has weapons to work with -- and I'm waiting.
​

Colt McCoy is a quarterback with glimpses of promise and a multitude of unanswered questions. So let's answer them now. Do what's best for the Cleveland Browns and Colt McCoy, and don't just push forward with him; push forward with offensive playmakers to make him ... and the Cleveland Browns ... what they haven't been.

more of the same but this is, again, who we have decided to blow our money on

3. Browns defensive end Frostee Rucker

The 91st pick in the 2006 draft, Rucker's six-year Bengals tenure can be described as pedestrian at best. He's registered seven sacks in 53 games (19 starts) with a career high of four in 2011. Rucker is entering his age-29 campaign, and he could never have been mistaken for an explosive edge rusher. At the cost of $20.5 million over five years, the Browns expect him to be their new starting right end.

Rucker was arrested in college for spousal battery and vandalism, and fined one game check in the NFL. He's ended a season on I.R. three times in six years, making it through 16 games once in his career. The Browns gave a $5 million signing bonus to a player with medical and character red flags who's been sparingly productive through six seasons. That's not very good business

Thats a simplistic view. cleveland didn't sign him to be a pass rusher. they signed him to be a run stopper on 1st and 2nd and slide inside in passing situations. he's also not getting that much guaranteed money, which allows them to get out of his contract after about 2 years.

If they trade with the Dolphins and pick up an extra #2 I'd want:

#8 Richardson
#22 Best OT available (Martin, Adams) or best WR available
#37 Best WR available or best OT available
#42 Best DE available or Weeden

Haven't heard anyone mention Reuben Randle (spell check) much yet.

Thoughts on the kid?

I think Richardson will be gone to Tampa at #5. They seem to really love the idea of pairing him with blounte and schiano is going to bring a power football game to the Bucs

tampa would be total fucking idiots to take him over claiborne.

their corners last year were ronde barber, who makes sheldon brown look like deion sanders in his prime, and aqib talib, who might be in jail this season, and if not, will certainly be suspended by goodell. and, he's not that good anyway. they signed eric wright to a monster deal, lol.

claiborne's former coach is now on tampa's staff.

I'm still hoping we take Claiborne at #4. I'm not yet ready to concede RT to the Brownies.

#37 Best WR available or best OT available

The only thing I worry about moving down to 8 would be that all 3 players that the Browns would want that high in the first round would be gone. Hopefully the Dolphins would be retarded enough to trade up to 4 to draft RT.

I do not think that I would take a OT at #22. I think you could get a quality RT later in the draft. I also think that we might be looking for a LB and either #22 on #37 because we don't know what is going to happen with the "bounty man".

 

[buckiprof]

I still want Claiborne at #4, then best WR at #22, and best RB or RT at #37.

If the Browns take Richardson at #4 (which I can live with BTW) then #22 better be WR and #37 better be RT. Or, to put it another way, if the Browns go TR at #4, then their 1st 3 picks better be on the offensive side of the ball....players who can contribute immediately.

But I still want Claiborne at #4.

Agree with you BUT IF Jon Martin is there, I would snap him up without a second thought. Nice set of tackles with Martin at RT and Thomas at LT. Cleveland should be able to pick up Wright (WR), Hill (WR), or Jeffery(WR). Depends who they draft at 4 (Richardson or Clairborne). Alot of different scenarios play out in this draft for the Browns.
