2010 draft
-
I hate the cap too man. And like I said, Eric Berry would be solid. I have been on campus at UT for 4 years now, and have no heard one negative thing about him. He has his head on his shoulders and is going to be an excellent pro
-
Eric Berry first round, but remember a kid named Juice Williams from Illinois.

You're joking, right?
-
I will remember his name simply because its "juice" not because he will be sheit at the pro level

Talking about drafting, how well are these linebackers doing?#10 Brian Cushing HOU OLB 56 tackles
#17 James Laurinaitis STL MLB 49 tackles
#40 Aaron Curry SEA OLB 37 tackles
and nobody wanted lauranitis he was from Ohio State and over rated and under sized?

In defense I know alot of people around cleveland wanted Aaron Curry, but yea the other 2.... just no excuse. Im sorry but after we drafted Jeff Faine in the days of *shiver* Butch Davis *shiver* I was convinced centers are not worthy of 1st round picks.

At what position? I sincerely hope it's not quarterback.

We'll get a real high 1st round pick, but count me as another who does NOT want to take a QB. We need to either sign a veteran free agent or trade for a veteran. Draft defensive "playmakers" early. I want a stud safety & a nasty middle linebacker. After that, running back, OL, & then everything else. Obviously, we have MANY holes to fill.

Count me in for Camp Berry! Then draft 6 Linebackers and 4 Cornerbacks.

eric berry *clap clap clap-clap-clap"

I like berry and have said so for a couple of years...but like Stan said, it's hard to have much discussion at this point...right now we could be drafting around 6-7...and Berry is gone by then.
we will probably have a top 10 pick...maybe a top 5....either way there aren't any qbs or running backs to take up there...we probably go big man on one side of the ball or another...works for me.
-
What good Runningbacks are in this draft?
-
-
Only 1st round talent RB (None top 5, maybe not even top 10 aside form Spiller)
C.J Spiller from Clemson
Javad Best from California*Junior
Jonathon Dwyer from Ga. tech *Junior
According to Mel Kiper (who im not a HUGE fan of him or his hair line). Intersting too in his latest rankings his top 5 are:
Eric Berry-S-TN
Gerald McCoy-DT-OK
Ndamukong Suh-DT-NEB
Jake Locker-QB-WASH
Russel Okung-OT-OK.ST

It IS TO EARLY to discuss the draft.. we don't know who we will keep, we don't know what free agents we will bring in. We don't know who we will resign (we have many free agents on our own roster) and we do not know who will declare from the junior class..we don't know the injury situation before the year is over.. This is a post for 5 mos. from now. Sorry to be an ass..but it's true... for all we know we may have a whole new coaching/gm staff by next spring..

The only offensive player we should even consider drafting would be offensive linemen.
We've got to draft the nastiest, biggest, fastest defensive players avaiable at every spot we pick. I don't care if we draft 10 players with 5 brain cells between them, we need some violence on our defense to compete in our division.
-
Draft Eric Berry with the top 5 pick then trade all are other picks to move up and get Taylor Mays. Dream scenerio safety tandem
-
Eric Berry in Round One- No explanation needed.
Jahvid Best in Round Two- Gives us a home run threat at RB. This means don't resign Harrison. I say keep Lewis to allow us a big back for short yardage and ball control. Let Best compete with Davis for the starting spot.
If we do get another Round Two pick-George Selvie (DE USF), Jerry Hughes (DE TCU), or Navarro Bowman (LB Penn State).
If any slip to Round Three, get 'em.
On the second day, I would try to get play makers with upside-Juice Williams (another QB option, Wr, or RB)
-Darryl Clark (QB Penn State)
MANY WILL HATE ON PICKING JUICE WILLIAMS since he is an athlete who happens to play quarterback. Haven't we learned anything from the Steelers in Drafting - Hines Ward (Georgia QB -converted to hall of fame caliber WR.)
Randall El (Indiana QB - more dominant than any receiver we currently have)
Dixon (Oregon QB- yet to be determined)
Also, look at our best player -Cribbs (Kent State QB)
This is not a complete draft analysis since we are only at the midpoint of the college season. This is going off players on field performance.
FREE AGENCY
As for as the QB issue is concerned, I say make a play for Tavaris Jackson (Minnesota Backup) who will be an unrestricted free agent I believe. I don't think any of the top rated Qb's have franchise written on them. Also consider Chad Pennington from Miami.
Lee Evans (Wr Buffalo will be an unrestricted free agent), plus he is Cleveland native (Bedford H.S.)

Couple years back, I couldn't even mention acquiring a Safety as there were some who called them a 'Dime-a-dozen' and most others weren't interested in the 'non-glamorous' position.
I have been screaming about getting a real safety in here for 9 years (Sean Jones had one good year, so I stopped screaming and just barked for that one year as I observed).
We've been playing with 9 guys now on defense ever since we came back in the league. get us an 'ERASER' to clean-up them LB mistakes. Get us a game changer.

NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: Taylor Mays, FS, Southern California: Yes, he's 6-3, 230 and may run in the 4.4's or lower at his Combine or pro day workout. And he was credited with 10 tackles against Notre Dame. But only one of those was a solo stop, and Mays was often very ordinary and did not play with intelligence. Scouts' two biggest complaints about Mays are that he does not make many big plays and he prefers to hit rather than tackle. Only the strength of USC's front line kept Jimmy Clausen from going up and down the field because even though he can cover ground in the defensive backfield, Mays was often a step late to help his corners. And multiple times he chose to lower a shoulder into a receiver instead of wrapping up and possibly forcing a fumble. The personal foul he picked up (his second of the half) for needlessly launching himself head-first into a receiver in the game's final series in regulation could have been a killer. Thankfully for Mays and his teammates, Clausen and his receivers couldn't connect in three throws to the end zone. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

I'd hold off on calling for Mays. He's nowhere near Berry's level and isn't even guaranteed to stick at safety at the next level. Might be better off playing outside linebacker in a 4-3.
