Mayock not sold on Haden, Berry

Alo

No offense, Mr. Mopaji, but your summary's a bit inaccurate. Mayock said that Haden's "worst case top 15, certainly could be a top 10 pick". He also said: "No question in my mind that he's a #1 corner in the NFL."

Oregon has two DB's in the draft that would make good late round picks. 2010 Scout.com NFL Draft Rankings has safety Terrell Ward ranked as a four star, ranked 8th safety in the draft. He was injured early last season but came on strong late in the season. Oregon's defensive strength was their defensive backfield. Walter Thurmond III was an outstanding cover corner in 2008. He was always put on the best receiver on the opposing team and shut him down. That is not easy to do with the quality of receivers in the PAC-10. He was injured in preseason and did not play in 2009. He has a three star ranking. He was still respected enough to be named a team captain anyway. If he performs well in the Combine, he could be a great steal in the later rounds. I've watched them both play and they would be up grades to what the Browns have right now. They both know how to tackle and have speed. I can see them as 4th, 5th, or 6th round picks.

He did say Haden is worst case, a top 15 yes, but it still said "probably" on Berry being a top 10. This little detail still doesn't do enough to nullify the logic behind compiling picks. Especially when he also said this is an great draft for defensive players.

I think Haden is the best choice for us. He is a proven stud. When you look at a guy like Revis and his success it makes me want Haden even more.

I'll be happy with Haden at #7 I just think its a deep draft and FA is weak. So, my preferred offseason would involve draft picks, and lots of em!

Don't we have a lot at the moment though? I'm not exactly sure on the number but I thought we had 11 or were those reports false?

I don't think mays defended a pass or make a tackle in the backfield last year.

I hope we don't take him.

I think these are the picks that we have this year. There are indeed 11 picks.

And we can still get a first year starter in the secondary. And with 3 3rd round picks, we can get our QB of the future and let him sit for a year or two. Of course this is all hypothetical and keeping with that theme, if we throw in a J. Harrison, Brady Quinn, or a Shaun Rogers, we could have some really premier draft picks this year. And with Man-heck-grin making the decisions, this could be a huge step towards the future for us. I know its hypothetical but it is the type of draft scenario I'm hoping for.
