Official Cleveland Browns Draft Thread

Disagree. Frye is a bit more mobile than Quinn is.

Did you not see his 60 yard run against USC? Frye is pretty slow and unathletic in the pocket.

True but the sun also shines on a dogs ass every now and then.

Keep thinking that.....

Did you not see his 60 yard run against USC?

Yes I did. USC's defense was horribly out of position and he looked like a fat man that just stole a jelly donut running from the baker. It's not like he out ran or eluded anybody.

you browns fans are just gonna have to live with who they pick . you might as well get used to it. Who know , maybe quinn will be the super bowl winner you have been looking for. How much would you like him if he did guide the team to it ?

If they win the Super Bowl, and given that they'll be wasting another 1st rounder on a marginal QB, they'll be doing it IN SPITE OF Quinn....

If we draft Quinn, I'll like him regardless. In pro sports, I cheer the colors, not the college where he played. Quinn won't win us many more games this year, but then again, no one will. I'd rather have Thomas or Peterson, but Quinn's still an upgrade over Frye. And the last I checked, quarterback is kind of an important position.

Savage not bothered by Peterson's injury

Browns general manager Phil savage said in an e-mail response today that Adrian Peterson's re-injury of his broken collarbone in the Fiesta Bowl "has not affected our opinion of him for the draft."
He also said that the Browns feel Peterson is healing well "and we would not do the surgery as it stands today."
Peterson, the Oklahoma running back, is one of five players the Browns are considering with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.
Peterson's agent, Ben Dogra, confirmed a report on

Is it Brady, or Quinn-dow dressing?
Friday, April 27, 2007

BEREA Phil Savage came up for air one last time Thursday, leaving an interviewer gasping as if he had uncloaked The Secret.

The moment Savage quit his final predraft talk on the Browns' AM radio flagship, WTAM, host Bill Wills blurted, "They're taking Brady Quinn."

An analysis of what Savage said isn't that conclusive, but it can be construed as conditioning fans to accept the Notre Dame quarterback. It also could be construed as enhancing Quinn as trade bait.

If history is a guide, Browns would not protect Quinn

The War Room is under surveillance. Top-secret information is posted on the four walls that surround what will become Phil Savage's home this weekend. Index cards for hundreds of players listed by position and coded with symbols look like wallpaper.

Maybe the Browns general manager has come out of the room long enough to see what Ohio State has done. The Buckeyes, coming off a small 2007 recruiting class, began restocking the trenches.

They have some of the country's best offensive linemen verbally committed to play in Columbus in 2008.

Jim Tressel gets it. Ohio State assistant Jim Bollman, a former NFL offensive line coach, gets it.

Peterson's little secret

Browns General Manager Phil Savage has known for months that running back Adrian Peterson aggravated a collarbone injury when he rushed back to play in Oklahoma's bowl game.

Public disclosure of the situation - made only recently - rekindles fan fears about Peterson as an injury risk.

"We feel good about Adrian," Savage said in a Thursday radio interview. "We feel like the collarbone situation that he incurred during the season and afterwards is in good shape.

Taking Thomas like two for the price of one

Kelly Butler started at right tackle for the Browns during the first three games in December last year. He missed the last two games with a broken foot.


As if to underscore how bad the offensive line was at the end, Nat Dorsey, big but very slow, replaced Butler, who had replaced Ryan Tucker, against Tampa Bay and Houston. It was not a pretty sight.

A little after 12:30 p.m. Saturday, the Browns can improve two positions at once by selecting Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas with the third pick in the draft. Thomas would play left tackle and Kevin Shaffer would be moved to right tackle. They could make the Browns better on the corners of the line than they have been in at least 20 years.

NFL DRAFT
Past chews at Browns' base


Friday, April 27, 2007 Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
Former Browns pro personnel director Jeremy Green recalls the night before the 2001 draft -- Butch Davis' first as head coach and decision-maker in Cleveland.
Then-General Manager Dwight Clark told the personnel department that the Browns were set to pick defensive tackle Richard Seymour with the No. 3 overall pick.
"The next morning, we find out Butch is picking Gerard Warren," Green said. "Apparently, he not only disregarded our evaluations, he didn't trust us. It got the whole regime off to a bad start."
Green said Seymour was clearly ranked higher on the Browns' board than Warren, whom Davis and his right-hand man Pete Garcia had recruited while at Miami.
"To a man, I don't think one person thought Gerard was a better person or a better player than Richard Seymour," Green said.
Seymour, picked sixth by the Patriots, went on to five straight Pro Bowls, while Warren never made one -- or the impact that everyone expected from a No. 3 overall pick. He was traded to Denver in March 2005 for a fourth-round pick.
