Drafting Troy would be a great PR move, but there are much bigger problems that need to be addressed first. If we could fill some of those holes in FA, I'd be all for taking him if he's there in round 3.

Maybe if they got rid of some of the dead weight at WR, received some OL help in the trade (legit help, not just a project or potential), taking CJ in the first, maybe someone like Pitcock or Patterson in the 2nd and then Troy in the 3rd?

Works for me :biggrin:

I'm all for taking a Buckeye in any of the rounds (filling needs first of course)...but there's no way Patterson makes it in the second round. Don't get me wrong...I have all the love for the kid and he played a good Senior Bowl, but unless he has the workout(s) of a lifetime...he's not going on the first day IMO. Of course I could be wrong. :)

But yes...let's drop the dead (brain) weight at WR...aka Braylon and get something for his piss poor attitude.

I know, I was just throwing that out there.....Maybe Patterson will be there in the 4th or 5th rounds :biggrin:

That would improve the locker room 100% I'm sure....or at least the attitude within the locker room....

I'd like to grab Steinbach and Clements in FA.
I'd also like to trade Braylon and trade down in the draft and grab Levi Brown.
None of those are guaranteed though and completely in the air. But I think regardless... this staff needs to be rock solid in their 2nd and 3rd round picks if they aren't Troy Smith (and he's on the board). That's all I was trying to say.
I like the idea of drafting Pitcock too, I think he'd fit nicely in our DL and provide some cover. I'm not sure Patterson fits the 3-4 very well right now, but I'd never complain if they picked him up. And I'd love to see Penton (or any other Buckeyes) come in as FA.

yeah that would be nice....unfortunately I'm not sure it would happen though...

I think the best thing that could happen is if, to borrow a term from JimOtis4Heisman, the Browns started scoring more than their opponents.

Hell if they could score at all it would probably ease the defensive issues the Browns have right now....

ugh, im glad you're not GM

pitcock is a space eater in the 3-4 and taking him in the 2nd is to high

id be the first to buy a peterson if he gets drafted:biggrin:

Yes, Pitcock is a space eater in a 3-4. Congrats. Please point where I said anything to the contrary? I never mentioned drafting him in the 2nd either... he's a 3rd round consideration at best.
Peterson... you might want to wait for the season to start before you jinx him and he comes down with a staph infection.

And yes, I'm glad I'm not the GM too. But, and I think I can say this for more than just myself, I'm even more happy that you aren't the GM.

Don?t count out Ted Ginn Jr. as a three-way threat in the NFL. Ginn, from Glenville High and Ohio State, said Monday night at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards that he would be open to playing offense, defense and special teams at the next level. Ginn said he would be thrilled to do any or all of them for the Browns. ?It was my childhood dream to play for the Browns,? he said. ?Why would I want to go somewhere else if I could keep it in Cleveland?? Ginn is wearing a walking boot on his left foot, which he injured at the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 8. He suffered a mid-foot sprain. Ginn expects to be in the boot for four more weeks. Ginn, who is skipping his senior season at Ohio State to enter the NFL, made his name with the Buckeyes as a receiver and returner. It is easy to forget that Ginn was one of the top defensive backs in the country coming out of Glenville. The man who recruited him to Ohio State, Mel Tucker, is now defensive backs coach of the Browns. - Mary Kay Cabot and Dennis Manoloff, Cleveland Plain Dealer[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Of course, huge difference in pay between the 3 or 4 pick and the 10. Not saying the hometown doesn't come into play, but I'd find ways of encouraging the top picks to take me too.

By the way, if I could pick between you and 23skidoo as a GM, you'd be a distance 12th.

From the Dawg Pound message board.....



QUOTE
Someone well-connected with the Browns has convinced me that they want Adrian Peterson desperately, which depresses me. I was hoping the Oklahoma running back might slip through the cracks and fall to the eighth spot so the Texans could get him, but now I don't think so.

Here's what has to happen: If JaMarcus Russell ends up going first to the Raiders, Brady Quinn has to impress the scouts so much before the draft that the Browns just have to have him. Quinn is from Columbus, Ohio, and makes no secret of his desire to play for the Browns. If you're like me and you want the Texans to be able to draft Peterson, you need for the first three picks to be Russell, Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas and Quinn. And it doesn't matter who takes whom. If you're like me, you want Quinn to enhance his ranking before the draft.

I see that drafttroy.com is up to 866 signatures. Call it Scarlet and Gray Goggles if you want, but I would LOVE to see him in Orange and Brown next year. I have stated my case earlier in this thread, just thought it was interesting to see an update on how many people of signed the online petition.

Sorry, but there's not much of a market in the NFL for receivers who let perfectly-placed passes bounce off their hands for INTs that thereby cost their teams the game.

Way to cherry pick a single statement out of a post and ignore everything else.
I said I'd like to see Braylon traded. I'm by no means holding my breath.
