Cleveland Browns (Finally drafting Buckeyes)

The last time I remember this much excitement around this franchise during the offseason was that ill-fated FA spending spree in 2005. They had brought in Ravens "personnel guru" Phil Savage who went on to sign LeChuck, Gary Baxter, Jurevicous, Willie McGinest and Trent Dilfer. They'd draft Braylon and a plucky, gunslinging QB out of Akron with a big local following who had everyone convincing themselves he was Brett Favre redux. They hired respected Pats DC Romeo Crennel (before everyone knew Belichik disciples were fools gold), so naturally everyone expected him to bring some of the New England magic. Of course, LeChuck would destroy his knee in OTAs and never play again. Winslow (the previous years big draft pick) would crash his crotch rocket in a parking lot and miss the season. Gary Baxter blew out both knees in the fifth game and would see the field 3 more times in the next two years. Jurevicious was useless in a bad passing offense. McGinest looked like a golden-ager taking a stroll around the block on the field. Braylon treated the football like a stick of half melted butter. And the QB play was abysmal, and didn't get much of a boost when the "qb of the future" Charlie Frye took over in December.

In fairness, Baker looks like a legit star, and isn't even comparable to the Dilfer/Frye sludgefart. The receivers are both proven commodities. And there's much more talent pretty much everywhere. So, in theory, barring a flurry of shredded ACLs, they shouldn't collapse like that 2005 team did. My biggest concern remains the coaching. Kitchens is a wholly unproven commodity leading a team that suddenly has sky high expectations.

Browns are getting new uniforms next year. Presumably, they’ll be less of the abomination that the current MAC conference looking uniforms are. Sounds good to me. A (hopefully) good team, should at least have some good uniforms, too. Look good, feel good.

While the Browns keep on rolling out good decisions, next, they need to rename the dog anything other than Swagger. Dipshit would be a better name than Swagger. Dumbest name ever.

No cursive writing on the fucking pants is a good place to start

Im a big fan of the dark brown tops from Metcalf era.
That shade is perfect... even looks for a car.

Browns wave Derek Kindred which I really do not understand. Seemed like a pretty good player. Have no idea what they are going to do at SS. Maybe sign Dre Boston.

Draft one, I guess. They were going to have to either way I would imagine. They didn’t think he was worth having for depth, it looks.

Yeah, there is the draft but they also need corners pretty bad for depth. I think they also need to bolster the LB corp a little. Kindred was a hitter if nothing else. I guess I have to trust Dorsey.

I look to see a lot of picks on the defensive side. Outside of OL, this team is pretty good on that side of the ball.
