    I cant wait to see and hear the surprise and criticism when holmy and hecktard take some no name small school kid in the 3rd round and begin grooming him to be the next big thing...πŸ˜‰

    You mean like a Brett Favre, a 2d rounder from Southern Mississippi?

  • or hasselbeck in teh 6th?

    lets not single out examples to show a trend....

  • I can see why some guys like this kid (mainly his intangibles), but I just don't like getting a kid who already has had concussion problems. Most of his mechanics and that type of thing can be fixed, but not his durability.

    β€œIt is impossible to get a man to understand something if his livelihood depends on him not understanding.”

  • I don't think we need to waste any picks on a QB this year. It's a weak QB draft class this year. I like Clausen but do we really want another QB out of that system? Tebow will probably shock some people in the NFL community, but, I don't know if he is worth the risk. We need a NT and a secondary more than anything right now.

  • I honestly think the Browns' interest in Tebow is smoke and mirrors. We pick pretty high in each round and if a team out there really wants Tebow and believes us or someone after us may grab him, we could get some pretty desperate offers. There are teams out there that are enamoured with him. I can't imagine Mangini/Holmgren are in that catagory. And neither am I. I fully expect to see us grab a guy in the 4th or 5th round that nobody is talking about. You know, one of those picks that cause Mayock to frantically sift through his charts on the air trying to figure out who this kid is. Maybe a Levi Brown or something like that. A 4 year starter with all the physical tools from a smaller school.

    I almost 100% agree with you howver I like our NTs. I want to see Rogers on the end and Rubin in the middle. I think that would be ideal.

    It could be smoke and mirrors, or maybe Holmgren just likes the kid and wants him to succeed. They may want to draft him after all. It's too early to say and obviously we won't know till April, but he definitely showed he can work his guts out to become a better player in a short amount of time, and there is a lot to be said for that (see: Larry Byrd).

    Tebow is obviously intelligent, has a lot of discipline and character, which are things you really can't coach. He has some talent, and played very well in Florida. I hope we do select him, honestly. The Browns need a prescence like his in the locker room, badly.

    I agree- this is smoked and mirrors by the Browns- and just doing due diligence. You sure don't need to be a qb guru to take one look and knowTebow's mechanics are a total mess, and he's not very accurate either.

    who's gonna listen to a rookie in the locker room? is going to give his "i'm a winner" speech as he's bringing the vets doughnuts? for real. AND BTW check your sp. on LARRY BIRD.

  • I stand corrected on the spelling. My bad.

    And I never said he was going to be a leader of the team right out of the gate. I said his prescence in the locker room is needed.

    He completed over 65% of his passes.....quit making stuff up.

    For a smart guy you sure say some stupid stuff

    There is no better quality than a strong will to succeed. Tebow is not ready to play in the NFL but he has the ability to do so. I won't be unhappy if we take him

    Well we have a lot of picks, and Tebow is gonna be a 2nd round pick, so we have the flexibility to move up or down in round two if we want/have to in order to get Tebow if he's the guy we want. I think a guy like Tebow or McCoy in round 2 would be a good risk/reward investment.

    I really see Tebow falling to the late 1st early 2nd. I dont see us waisting a 1st rounder on Tebow but a 2nd round is a definate possiblility.

    I agree, though I have a feeling he is going before round 2. Where does Pittsburgh draft?? I worry about them getting him...I don't want him there or have to face him twice a year.

    If we decide we want him, we are going to have to take him at 7.....WHICH I DON'T WANT TO DO...(had to highlight that since many consider me a Tebow homer....I am, but I am not stupid), trade down some out of #7, or trade up out of the 2nd round. A bunch of teams ahead of us are hoping like hell the kid drops...we are going to have to get to about 20 to be fairly safe....cost us our 2nd...and maybe a 3rd and a 4th....maybe two 4th's...I'd be good with that.

    You're out of your mind Peens. He would be a reach at our second, but I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with that. I like the kid.

    Is a pig's ass pork?

  • I've said it once I'll say it again. We've already addressed QB issues in Mike's eyes. We WILL NOT take him in the 1st. He may have value in the 2nd, but I still think Pike in the 3rd is our best bet! Berry, Hayden, Witherspoon or Curran are guys I'd like to see in the first. I've seen Rico McCoy play quite a bit at UT and wouldn't mind seeing him in the 2nd.

  • I would love if we could grab Tebow AFTER the first round. If any team drafts him in the first I think they would be wasting that first round pick. He is talented but he is still a project no matter how much he works on his throwing motion.
