    well, watching the scounting combine - I learned that Mangini and Holmgren were sitting in the stands,

    watching the offensive linemen and tight ends work out. There weren't too many other coaches etc there around them...

    Learned that the TE class is very deep. You could get a good NFL te player in the 4/5th rounds one guy said.

    There are a lot of OT's in this draft. A few ran the 40 well under 5.0. that's just crazy.

    Seems to me that the Browns are a lock to draft a versatile TE and OT this draft.

    I think I need to do another Browns draft before I watch anymore, so I can be completely wrong again,

    before watching too much and maybe getting a couple of picks correct.

      In one shot I saw Mangini, Holmgren, and Heckert in their assigned section. Maybe 1-2 other milling around.

      I think they separate teams by a section or two to minimize prying eyes and open ears. In any of these stadiums it isn't hard to spread 32 teams in such a way you aren't on top of each other.

      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

        wel i saw a couple guys run the 40

        Dwyer- 4.69

        Gerhart- 4.52

        S. Johnson-4.71

        McCluster-4.55

        McKnight-4.42

        C.Scott-4.67 & 4.72

        C.Spiller- 4.28 & 4.27

        B. Tate- 4.45

        T.tebow-4.70

        I was kind of surprised dwyer ran almost the same speed of tebow... spiller burned it up... but really the guy who I think will be a very good back that isn't getting much attention is ben tate I thought he was the best back in the SEC this year including ingram who won the heisman and he ran a respectable 4.45 while weight in at 220.. Gerhart looked good too for how big he is

          I like Ben Tate......I wasn't surprised Tebow ran almost as fast as Dwyer.

          Does Tebow have some strong looking legs? Looked like a linemans legs, minus the fat.

                  They are saying the official time on Spiller is 4.37. How it can be off that much from the unofficial time that the NFL Network guys were clocking is beyond me.

                    Damn, if Spiller is there at 7, trade offers are going to be pouring into Browns camp.

                      If spiller is there at no.7 we need to grab him. A good running game will carry a mediocre offense.

                        If we go RB I'd rather draft J.Best in the 2nd/3rd rnd.

                          I totally agree with you I just think that running the ball is about attitude and if you commit to it, you'll be successful with almost any back. Because of that, there will be a few dome teams and middle of the road teams that would be willing to trade two picks and a player for a Chance to get Spiller. And considering how much defense is in this draft, the more picks we can get, the better. And we can always get a good RB in the 3rd or 4th round.

                            Tebow can scoot....I was surprised at his off the line torque...Now how that relates to success as a NFL QB is anybody's guess but i think the kid understands that he is basically starting over again and needs to prove himself.....It is obvious he is serious about doing whatever it takes to succeed at the next level.....He get's an A for effort from me...

                            If anyone has a good source for combine video let me know..Did you know that vegas takes bets on combine events???? Only in America

                              somewhat agree on picking Spiller.Vikings had a 1,000 yd. rusher the year before they drafted Peterson,but still picked him.If Haden is there at 7 I think you take him,its the best player and biggest need on defense.Ben Tate may be the pick in rd. 2

                                It's just the way the kid is....what you see isn't a act....it is genuine and the way the guy is...I don't think the kid cares what he is paid.

                                He just wants to have someone want him...and the team that does is going to get the steal of the draft.

                                That kid is going to be a Super Bowl MVP....as a QB.

                                As Mooch said....he could play QB for me any day......Chucky has said the same thing.....both Holmgren guys......I bet Holmgren likes his too.

                                If he is there at our pick in the 2nd, I think there is a good chance we take him.

                                If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                  It's just the way the kid is....what you see isn't a act....it is genuine and the way the guy is...I don't think the kid cares what he is paid.

                                  He just wants to have someone want him...and the team that does is going to get the steal of the draft.

                                  That kid is going to be a Super Bowl MVP....as a QB.

                                  If he has a good showing at his pro day, he'll not make to the 2nd round.....I think he goes in the 1st, for sure. I think the Jags get him at #10.

                                    Lefevour posted a faster time 🙄 He will be available in the later rounds also. I have seen the kid play, I was really impressed with him. I would love to see the Browns draft him

                                      If the Browns believe tebow or mccoy are franchise QBs they must be taken with the 1st pick. You cannot screw around trying to get additional picks in if the right guy is there.

                                        Think a lot of eyes will be on Earl Thomas today. Berry will most likely be gone at 7 and Mayock actually has Thomas rated ahead of him, what you guys think bout Thomas at 7?? Im still in the Joe Haden boat..

                                          I don't think there is a bad pick at #7 but I maintain, I would rather see us trade out and get more picks. There is soo much depth this year and the more picks the better. However, I'm sold on Thomas, Berry, and Haden. Either one would be fine by me.
