So, now we have the 6th or 7th pick in the draft...

Oakland, Seattle and Cleveland all ended the season at 5-11. If the tiebreak is (and I believe it is) Strength of Schedule, with the worst Strength of Schedule getting the better pick, then it will be

8. Oakland w/ .523 (doesn't matter if Jets or Cincinatti wins, as Oakland played them both)

7. Cleveland w/ .516 (if Cincinatti wins) or .508 (if Cincinatti loses).

6. Seattle w/ .473

So assume Cleveland picks at #7.

If McCoy is there, take him, otherwise best DB or OT available. Okung would be my pick if McCoy is not there.

Since we beat Oakland, wouldn't that take precedence over SOS? Hence, we would have the 8th pick.

Suh and Berry are both gone here. I like Rolando McClain. We need a stud LB.

You're not talking Colt McCoy at #7 are you?

No, the DE from Oklahoma

No, they don't consider head to head schedule with the draft order. They do in every other NFL tie break, but not for Draft Order.

I remember a few years ago I asked the same question when Arizona beat Cleveland, ended with the same record, but picked ahead of Cleveland.

Ok good..

I like him. He looked pretty good in the bowl game.

I don't know if we can count on Cribbs and Harrison winning more than 5 games for us. We need a real QB one way or another. I'll take Bradford (if the arm is ok) or Clausen.

But I wouldn't complain about Haden.

The Browns will get 5th pick according to this site? BS, 5 teams have a worse record.

This guy probably wrote this article assuming the Browns would lose. He says that the draft order was "announced" but as far as I'm aware, the NFL doesn't officially "announce" a draft order until the 2010 season officially starts sometime in March. That's when any ties that tie breakers can't break are broken by a coin flip.

I'm thinking Joe Haden DB or the LB/DE from GTech Morgan...possibly even more youth at WR with Dez Bryant.

I love Derrick Morgan: he's an exceedingly gifted pass rusher. But I don't see 3-4 OLB in his future; he's more of a 4-3 end.

Per this link: http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2009/09/201...raft-order.html

The 2010 NFL Draft Order page is updated every week of the NFL season until the NFL Draft. Ties are broken based on weaker strength of schedule.

I doubt Okung will be available at #7. Everyone not named Todd McShay has him as the #1 OT in this year's class, and those guys usually go top 5. If Detroit doesn't take him, Kansas City will.

In my opinion, none of the other OT's are worth a top ten pick, unless you desperately need a left tackle. We can get better value addressing another position.

Probably so, this isn't a great year for stud linemen..and waiting until rounds 2-3 might be where we get the most bang for the buck.
