Best, most ntelligent, blue chippie Browns draft

The Browns Board

  • FYI, guess who else attended Hillsdale: Tom Heckert! (So it is probable that the Browns definitely do have their eye on this guy)

  • For those who don't know, Erik Prince is the "Black Prince of Blackwater". Blackwater of course is sort of the real life version of SPECTRE or KAOS or SMERSH, and Prince is sort of the real life version of a combination of Dr. No, Goldfinger, Mr. Big, Ernst Blofeld. An extremely wealthy person who has his own private army and his own private, political? goals.

  • Football forum. That's what it is. FOOTBALL forum.

  • And if this were a political discussion, maybe someone would care.

  • But seriously, I really like this mock draft. I had time to figure it out, because I just had my knee scoped Friday,

    and my knee is still swelled up. I reckon I shouldn't have been planting out in the greenhouse Friday evening, after I could

    stay awake long enough and left my big easy chair and the TV.

    Any legit criticisms?

  • Why 3 olb? That's a waste of picks....we need corners. Badly. Otherwise, the top end would make me very happy

  • Choco, you hit the nail on the head. I didn't pick any cb's.

    The cb's later on, I didn't like, and earlier, I liked the other players better.

    It all got scrooed up when the Browns traded for Brown. the lb's were more, it's hard to tell

    when a small DE can convert to an OLB (the Wimbley syndrome ?), but later on, the bpa wasn't cb's,

    in my humble stupid opinion. Maybe there was a viable cb in the third round, to be taken in Moeaki's place... hmmm.

  • I like the draft a lot in general..

    Only a few concerns/ criticisms.. First, we now only have 2 5th round draft picks after the Brown/Goncong trade. Also Im not sure why the 49ers would trade up to #7, when Haden may fall to them anyway, a 2nd round pick is what it would take to jump from 13 to 7, I just dont see the 49ers willing to do that trade (the Browns would do that in a heartbeat). Finally I doubt that we pick up 3 late round OLBs considering how much average talent we already have at that position, Id rather just pick up more O-lineman for depth.

    No, because it truly is not withing the scope of the knowledge of the normal fan to know the intracacies of the many hundreds of draft prospects that are out there and whether or not so and so would be a good fit with our football team.

    For the most part, these are guys we have never heard of. We only know the top 10-12-20 players that may be selected.

    It is true however that it is these "unknown" guys who are the meat and potatoes of a team's NFL draft. Who will end up shining for a team, or who will end up busting out is a pure science...or is it an art....handled best by professionals.

    I mean, face it, in the later rounds the draft is a crap shoot. Example, here are the Quarterbacks taken in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL draft, in order:

    Marc Bulger

    Spergon Wynn

    Tom Brady

    Todd Husak

    JaJuan Seider

    Now, one of those guys is going to go on to the Hall of Fame (Brady). One guy has had overall a pretty successful productive pro career(Bulger), while the other three are like Johnny Rotten, long forgotten.

    Was it just luck/serendipity that a Brady got picked by the team he got picked by? What if, instead of Wynn, the Browns had chosen Brady? Would he have had the same kind of career? Would he have been fodder like Wynn and Husak and Seider? Was it pure luck the Brady went to a system with a coach that fit him to a T? Would the Browns foibles at QB over the years have been avoided if they had taken Brady instead of Young, even if it didn't mean titles for the Browns.

    Maybe the names you have selected here will be all a bunch of Tom Brady's?

  • Well, it is fun, anyways. I finally had to settle down and ice my knee.

    so, i figure I could drop the TE, the third pick in the third round, and get this cb:

    and yeah, we have only two picks in the fifth round? Then Edds is out.

    And in Moeaki's place, we could nab:

    Amari Spievey (Iowa)Height Weight Position School Graduation Year

    6' 0" 190 CB Iowa 2011

    Projected to be drafted in 2010 NFL Draft: 3rd Round, 87th Overall Pick

    Draft Information:

    Built to be a shut down corner, moves his hips well, keeps his eyes on the ball, reads receiver routes well, has the speed to stay with top receivers, gets interceptions and good instincts to break up passes. Can be over aggressive in run support, will need to prove himself against top level receivers, lacks some upper body strength to play against top NFL receivers.

    but that is a tough choice. @@
