With the WR Position Set, We Need to Draft a RB
-
Mangini has completely filled the WR position with his guys now. Stuckey, MoMass, Furrey and Robo. I don't expect any more moves to made at that position. This brings up the next key position on our team. Running back. Jerome Harrison will never be more than a change of pace back. He is not a feature back. I believe the Browns need to use a high pick next year to grab a feature back. People tend to focus on our lack of a consistent QB, but we have also never had consistent play from the RB position. Don't get me wrong. Harrison is not a bad player. Actually, he's one of the better 3rd down backs in the league. But what we need now is a big time play-making feature back.

I wonder if the JETS have a RB we can borrow ...
-
I see us taking defense and RT ahead of any running backs .... are there any stellar running backs for the 2010 draft ?
-
My hope is that we go after Lendale White in free agency and so we will have White, Davis, and Harrison. I REALLY like that backfield. If not White than soomebody else. I HATE drafting RBs high. I feel like you can get a starter on day 2 if you do your homework. That way we won't have to waste a high pick on offense and we can get a S/LB that can start on day 1 for us.
By the way. Why are we talking about this now?

Thomas Jones a FA soon? He will be a Brown, mark it down lol.Beat me to it! I can totally see that happening because we sure as hell aren't getting Leon Washington. Maybe there is a RB on the Jets practice squad with potential that Mangini will dig up.
Honestly though, running back is pretty far down on my list of needs for the Browns

Yep we do not need a frachise QB. Franshise QB's are dime a dozen. Lets go RB where the average life span of a RB is like 6 years. Makes ALOT of sense.

Agreed the only position SET on this team is LT.You missed a few we are set long snapper, kicker and punter. But thats really it

How any of you can say the WR position is "set" is beyond me. Name one proven commodity?
Quantity doesn't mean quality, people.

Mike Furrey's proven himself to be a fairly reliable receiver, but Mike "Cheaters Prosper" Williams makes him look like Greg Paulus.

Mike Williams, Syracuse (6-2, 204)The play of Syracuse WR Mike Williams has been absolutely brilliant throughout the first five games of the year, and his performance Saturday vs. a talented South Florida defense has me wondering, is this guy the best wideout in college football? Williams not only has the size and speed to make plays vertically down the field, but his overall polish as a route runner has improved significantly under new head coach Doug Marrone. Plus, Williams has that X-factor to his game as he goes up and attacks the football as well as any receiver I’ve seen since Larry Fitzgerald. Williams had 13 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns this past weekend and was consistently able to create substantial separation against highly rated senior corner Jerome Murphy. Williams will definitely be crashing the NFP Super 30 on Wednesday, and I can now see him potentially making a run at Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant as the nation’s top wideout.

I've heard Anquan Boldin brought up as a comparison for Williams. Sounds about right to me.

You don't win in the NFL without a solid running game. You also ruin a lot of potential franchise QB's by not having one. Manning, Rothlisberger, Aikman, Brady ect. all had solid running games to take the pressure off them. If we don't get a solid running game any QB we draft will be toast. It no coincidence that DA's only good season came when we had a good running game. And just for reference putrid QB's live Tavaris Jackson can make the playoffs when paired with a good running game and solid defense. Run offense + Run defense=Being competitive on a yearly basis.

No one is claiming that we have Pro Bowl WR's on our roster. We do need to see if these guys can play though. It would be a waste to draft or sign new WR's with other pressing concern. We need to give other players more than the chance we gave Quinn.

So then we're not set at WR.

Analogy time.
Alo is to Aaron Curry as mz the pussy is to Mike Williams.
True.
And if the character issues prove to be less than disconcerting, I'll be right there with you on Williams.
Seems like a fairly intelligent kid, albeit with questionable fashion tastes.
The folks at nfldraftscout have bumped him up to a 1st round projection. They have him rated higher than Arrelious Benn and, perhaps more surprisingly, Damian Williams.

I would cry if we had Dez on the board when we draft and we select another wideout.
Dez is NUTS

Bad news, Alo. We may have to wait another year. Not that he's always telling the truth.

WR Mike Williams said again today he's coming back in 2010. "I’m really looking forward to coming back," he said. More in PS on Thursday.I would take Williams over Benn and Damian Williams ANY DAY.
Hey PG - Not for nothing, but name a highly-touted OK State WR who has panned out.
Hart Lee Dykes?
Rashaun Woods??
