Calling Mohammed our best draftee and Robo our worst.

This after he was on TV saying he liked the pick up of Robsikie. Seriously, this guy HAS to be Bi-polar.

Several things wrong with his assesment of the Browns' draft:

1. The Browns did not trade UP to pick #21 to draft Alex Mack. In fact, they traded DOWN three times, and then they drafted him.

2. No one knows whether Mack would have been there at #36 or not, 100% speculation. The Steelers were looking to add some inside O-line help, they could have easily grabbed him. It's anyone's guess.

3. Dave Veikune was drafted on the first day, in the second round. Not on the second day, when rounds 3 through 7 occur.

I can't stand draft grades, what a complete joke.

Todd McShay deems the CINCINNATI F**KIN' BENGALS as among AFC's BEST DRAFTERS.

What more needs to be said about his reporting and insight?

Look, he's probably right.

But, with few (Buckeye or other similar quality products) past round 2 this year who gives a shit anyway?

It isn't as if being king of the hill means much when the hill is 3/7ths or better made of crap.

It's the best crap available this year sir, but it is still crap.

Browns notes: Punishment part of Mangini?s method
Scott Petrak | The Chronicle-Telegram

BEREA ? Receiver Brian Robiskie ran a lap around the Browns practice fields Friday afternoon, punishment for dropping a punt during rookie minicamp.Welcome to life with Eric Mangini.
?If you put the ball on the ground, you run,? Mangini said. ?If you get a penalty, you run.
?There?s nothing more valuable than the ball. It?s amazing and dramatic how one turnover affects a game.
?And penalties are concentration errors.?
In Mangini?s first practice open to reporters as Browns coach, the punitive lap was one of the noticeable differences from the Romeo Crennel era. Here are the highlights.

Ohio?s own
Robiskie, Cleveland?s first second-round draft choice, was in a No. 80 jersey and occupied the locker to the left of Braylon Edwards?. He?s come a long way since acting as ball boy for three seasons while his dad, Terry, was an assistant coach.
?It?s one of those things you imagine, you wish,? Robiskie said. ?But you don?t really expect it to happen.?
Robiskie went to Chagrin Falls High School and Ohio State.
?It?s definitely a little bit funny,? he said. ?All my football?s going to be in Ohio. I wouldn?t have it any other way.?

Rookies sticking together
By MIKE McLAIN Tribune Chronicle
POSTED: May 3, 2009

BEREA - Like it or not, receivers Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi will have to become friends.

Although they will compete for playing time next season for the Browns as second-round draft choices, both should get on the field for an offense that was woefully weak in depth at the position prior to the draft. The better they co-exist, the better the chance of offensive success in the 2009 season.

From the little coach Eric Mangini has seen in two days of a rookie minicamp, the Robiskie-Massaquoi duo might work out well in the long run.

"What I really like is that there seems to be a friendship building there," Mangini said. "I can envision them pushing each other in a good way and supporting each other.

"They've been very impressive in terms of their work ethic, their concentration and their recall of information. It's a great situation when you come in with players at similar positions to build that relationship and grow together."

Robiskie, who played at Ohio State, was the first of three second-round picks, and Massaquoi, a product of the Georgia Bulldogs program, was the second of the three picks. Robiskie has been projected as a solid second receiver, and Massaquoi is looked at as a possession receiver.

Entering the offseason, the only receiver with much experience on the roster was Braylon Edwards. The Browns have since signed the well-traveled but effective David Patten in free agency. Adding Robiskie and Massaquoi instantly gave the receiving corps much-needed depth.

Robiskie became known for his big-play skills for the Buckeyes as a junior, when he caught 55 passes for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns from quarterback Todd Boeckman. Boeckman lost the starting job to true freshman Terrelle Pryor early last season. The switch to Pryor, known more for his running than passing skills, hindered Robiskie's production.

"The one thing the receivers took a hit on with the quarterback change was catching the football," said Robiskie, who finished the season with 42 receptions for 535 yards and eight touchdowns. "To me, that's in the past. I'm not thinking about it at all. I'm in a great situation. I'm a Cleveland Brown. I couldn't be more excited to be here."

Brian Robiskie learns things have changed since his days in Cleveland

BEREA ? It?s hardly as if Ohio is all Brian Robiskie ever knew.

He lived his first seven years outside Los Angeles; the next seven outside Washington.

But the rest is all Ohio. How far does that get him now that he?s making the transition from the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Cleveland Browns?

He barely knows Brady Quinn, the Ohio-bred Browns quarterback.

?I?ve met him,? Robiskie said. ?I?ve talked to him a couple times over the phone. That was it.?

The Browns complex became Robiskie?s second home before college. He was 13 when his family arrived in Cleveland at the same time as Butch Davis in 2001.

His dad was Cleveland?s wide receivers coach at first. By 2006, Terry Robiskie had cycled from offensive coordinator to interim head coach, back to wideouts coach, then out the door. So much has changed.

The weekend rookie minicamp was a time to reconnect for the younger Robiskie.

As a second-round draft choice, he projects as an instant contributor to the wideout-needy Browns.

?The coaches are throwing a lot at us,? he said. ?You?ve got to spend a lot of time in the playbook.?
