Yuck to the TOP QB prospect!!!
-
Idk about anyone else, but I'll throw up in my mouth a little if we pick a QB in the first round...
-
I pretty sure Suh and Berry will be gone when we pick but I can't stand the thought of Jimmy Clausen being the #1 projected QB. You know how it takes at least 10 beers to turn a female cornhusker into a hottie? I'd need about 18-24 beers to like what I see in Jimmy Clausen's game as a football player. I think the kid from Central Michigan (LeFever) sees the field better whereas Golden Tate's unbelieveable athleticism allowed Clausen to lock onto his favorite target most of the time. In addition, I think he throws too many flutter balls which translates into picks at the next level. There's just something about him I don't like.
Do we try to find the next Percy Harvin in round 1 to add TDs to our WR corps? My guess is this would be Golden Tate barring a disappointing 40 time ahead. I remembered saying we could use some more weapons in our passing game last year and the 1 guy I wanted most of all just got Offensive Rookie of the Year. That said, I liked the way things worked out with Alex Mack.
Do we go after a corner like Hayden, which someone already mentioned here?
Is there a gotta have available at Right Tackle?
What if RB CJ Spiller is on our doorstep? I know we have Harrison but Carolina has a pretty good deal when DeAngelo Williams can't dress on Sundays. Even when he does, Stewart's fresh legs is a nice 1-2 punch and change of pace.
Will this be a year where there's QB gems after round 1?
This goes to anyone that wants to answer it - What would be your ideal first 3 rounds for the Browns in the 2010 Draft?

Tom, I'm with you on Clausen. His deep ball hangs up forever. I don't have anything else against his game but I think one ND QB on this team is enough.
I think that the Haden pick is a no brainer.
For me, I think that rounds 1-3 go:
Haden, CB, Florida
Adam Ulatoski, OL, Texas (only if you plan to play him at RT)
Dan LeFevour, QB, C Michigan
-
I dont think that we will lose out on Berry. The way i see it we have many options between the safety Berry and some good O-linesmen. I dont see us taking a QB. We may trade down if things dont work out but we are Not drafting a QB in round 1.
-
if berry is gone then i would want haden from florida. a shut down corner would be a welcome addition... as would anything else.

-
I've been rather high on Rolando McClain. I think him and DQ would help solidify the middle of our defense and he would provide a true leader to our d.
-
Agreed, Mclain will be a beast in this league. A Patrick Willis type.

Take a QB, we do not have one. I would not be opposed to Lefeuver being that guy but right now my choice would be Sam Bradford..........NO QB YOU KEEP LOSING
-
While I certainly don't want the Browns taking a QB early, I think your takes on Clausen reveal that you haven't really watched him. Clausen does not lock onto a target and he sees the field incredibly well (that's why he threw 33 TDs vs. 4 INTs and hit just about 70% of his passes over his last 13 games).
The numbers are skewed so heavily in favor of Tate at least in part because the other two main pass catchers on the team missed 3 and 5 games, respectively.
Michael Floyd caught 44 balls in 7 games. His numbers, projected out to 12 games like Tate's, are: 75 grabs, 1363 yards, and 15 TDs). Many thought that Floyd was the better receiver of the two, even early in this season. I personally preferred Tate all along, as he's more explosive.
Kyle Rudolph (TE) caught 33 passes in 9 games. None of ND's other receivers played more than 8 games. Clausen didn't lock onto him. He threw to Tate when he was open. And when he wasn't, Clausen threw elsewhere. It's something to keep in mind, and it's something you may not have seen if you didn't watch all of ND's games.

Which brings me to yet another "hindsight" question.
Last year some were leaning towards taking sanchez and doing away with the QB confusion. This year too, we are leaning towads not taking a QB - If in hindsight Clausen, McCoy, Bradford etc land up becoming stud QB's would we be cursing our luck or take comfort in the fact that what we did was best for us at that instance ?

I think that the Browns have enough needs to simply take the best available player at #7 and not over analyze the situation.

YOu may be right....but on the contrary i like clausens toughness he played the last 10 games with a torn ligament in his toe and he didn't just lock into tate....when floyd was healthy he was having a better season than tate at the time....and did u forget about randolph the stud TE....he had weapons which makes it a little harder to decide on him but hes a tough kid who wants to win....and what i really like about him is he seemed to care so much about weis and his job and the seniors after they lost to UConn... that impressed me....but lets have holmgren and our new gm decide on him

i agree completely with you....clausen is a good qb i like your assessment a lot
-
Reading my reply above, I guess I came off as more "anti-Clausen" than I really feel I should have. Let me put it this way:
Things I like: Sees the field very well. Very good touch on the ball. Very tough. Looks like he stepped out of the textbook under "QB".
Things I don't like: Floats the deep ball. Not very mobile (perhaps less than average from what I've seen and read). Could be better at feeling the pass rush.
Jimmy Clausen will suffer in Browns' fans minds because of the presence of his predecessor, Brady Quinn. That isn't fair but I'm betting that QB evaluation is no longer going to be a weakness of this organization with Holmgren in the building. I still don't like the idea of taking him in the first. I think that Haden is a better CB than Clausen is a QB. There are other similarly rated QBs that will be available later. Just my opinion. You may disagree.

Tom I agree- Suh will not last past Detroit if the Rams opt best qb on the board. If the Rams and Lions both go D, Suh and Berry may well be the first two prospects off the board. Find it hard to rationalize the Browns would go to the ND well twice in a row. Bradford scares me with his injury history, McCoy got himself hurt in the NC game so ditto there. So no qb in the first round for me, thank you very much.
Browns needs- IMHO
1) stud pass rusher
2) legit #1 wr
3) enforcer safety (don't see Berry falling this far)
4) shut down corner (this is my bet where the Browns draft Hayden to go with Wright)
5) RT (the Browns will seriously consider Okung here if he's still on the board)
6) stud LB
7) developmental qb. The Browns have 3 third rounders- LeFevere or Pike if they're still here.
-
I really have a feeling we're going to pursue Russell Okung with our first round pick if we don't address our offensive line in Free Agency. We need a RT pretty bad, but I just don't know if I agree with nabbing one that early. I've been all on the Okung train this year, but after watching the Jets absolutely dominate the Bengals, I'm starting to lean towards building our defense with this draft. Rob Ryan did a lot with a little this year, and I think it would go a long way if we were to add some talent in the secondary and at the LB corps. With that in mind, I think we could benefit from a lot of people, specifically Joe Haden/Rolando McClain/Taylor Mays.
Yes, Taylor Mays.
I'd love to see us nab Berry, but I don't think he'll be there when we pick. At this point in time, I think we'd be stretching a bit to nab Mays, but he's still got that raw athleticism that I love to see in a defensive back. I highly doubt he'll end up in Cleveland, but I wouldn't hate it if he did.
Joe Haden is the most NFL ready cornerback I've seen in a while. He's fast as lightning, and he has great football knowledge. He's great in man coverage, and his zone coverage isn't too bad either. The only problem I have with him is that he seems to have a hard time getting off of blocks to provide run support. Everything else, though, is truly amazing.
Rolando McClain would be a great addition because of his raw athletic talent. He's got a little bit of an anger problem it seems, but his skill more than makes up for it. The earlier comparison with Pat Willis seems spot on to me, McClain is fast as hell for his size. He'd be a good ILB for us, I believe.
I'd also consider nabbing Javier Arenas if he's available in the 2nd, which I doubt he will be. He's not as fast as I would like, but he's pretty much complete in every other way. You can't teach speed, though... so that may kill him in the NFL.
