WELCOME JOE HADEN
-
Ok well why wouldnt we draft Earl Thomas considering he can play both safety AND cornerback. Not to mention he's much bigger than Joe Haden.

I will admit draft workouts dont always do players justice, and going to Tennessee I saw haden alot and he did play in arguably one of the best conferences in the country.... its just not the exciting pick I guess but I do trust in M.H.... lets see if we make any other noise tonight

There is no arguing one of the best....come on man.....arguing would be saying it isn't the best.
Don't make it sound like the SEC could be as good as the MAC.......just tell it like it is

Good piece from Pluto...
Joe Haden?
I guess that's . . . OK.
Haden started 40 games at Florida and was considered the top cornerback in the draft at the end of the season.
Then Haden ran a poor 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, and it seemed he had dropped out of the top 10.
Meanwhile, the Browns made noise about trading for Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford -- no chance of that happening.
They seemed to really like Tennessee safety Eric Berry, but the Kansas City Chiefs (thanks, Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel) took him at No. 5.
Some in the Browns front office really liked Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson. Others were intrigued by Texas safety Earl Thomas.
But Wilson played at Boise State -- a non-BCS school -- and that might have counted against him. And Thomas played only two years at Texas, which might be a bit of a concern.
When Browns General Manager Tom Heckert said he wanted the No. 7 pick to be a certain starter, it appears that Haden was the best bet. He was first-team All-American, a big-time player for a powerful team in perhaps the toughest conference in the nation, the Southeastern Conference.
This means newly acquired veteran cornerback Sheldon Brown can play some safety, if Haden is immediately ready to start opposite Eric Wright. If Haden needs some time to adjust to the pros, the Browns can go with Brown at cornerback and Haden being a fifth defensive back in passing situations.
While the pick might seem like a yawner to Browns fans, it makes sense. It's also good to know the Browns have nine more picks, and a few more days to make trades.

welcome haden, i am pleased to say our corner position is finally set. Now go get us a starting safety. Maybe Nate Allen USF

I think Haden is a great pick. He is considered a super shutdown corner, which will make our blitz packages that much more effective. Combine aggressive blitzing with solid coverage & you can really see immediate improvement in the overall defense. IMHO, he will be an asset to the defense along the lines of what Joe Thomas means to the offense.
This kid also played against PRIMO competition too. He's a winner.
The way I see it, this is a great start to this draft.

I like the pick also. I wanted Berry (I guess Romeo wasn't thinkin Arby's this time...) but I'm glad that we still upgraded an area of need instead of trading out.
I have a feeling we might be coming back into the first round later...
-
I like it, I don't really think we could go wrong picking either him or Earl Thomas. Do we get a QB tomorrow?
-
Sheldon Brown is going to play safety for now....I believe.

Because Haden can fly. Did you see his ears?

You are probably right, he may become a "swing man"...CB & Safety. We got our solid cover guy in Haden & Taylor Mays is still there (a little "wildness" on D could be a plus) + I also expect a trade for another early 2nd round pick (probably for a QB). Then it's DL & receivers with an OL thrown in.

I viewed this draft as thinking that Eric Berry was our man, and we would see if he is going to be an elite safety at this level. I figured if we didn't get him that we would be sold (politician style) on wjhoever was our pick. in the 90 minutes or so since we've drafted Haden, I have really grown to like this pick. Call it drinking the koolaid or whatever, but there was something about Berry's game that didn't sit well with me this year. Spiller may have been a reach, but Haden just feels good, like a great fit.
I like this pick. I love the drafting of a DB and would love to see a safety added as well. If Colt ain't there tomorrow, would Mays suck? I'd take Mays now in round #2. Let's kick some ass on defense!
-
I hated the pick, but only because I wanted us to get him. Anyone on here that doesn't like this pick now will love it come December. His ears alone can cover the left side.
-
Finally a shutdown corner, one need taken care of....
He had slow times at the combine because he was hurt but he ran anyway....
Wow, Tebow to Denver!!!!!! Now the Quinn fan club west will be bitchin cause they didn't get to see enough of him and he never got a chance, WOW!!
Peace

My dream...Trade DQ & a couple picks to the Rams for their 2nd pick & keep our 2nd rounder too. Then take Colt AND Mays. With the cover guys we now have, I feel Mays is the type safety who would work very well. He COULD be that defensive BIG PLAY guy we need.
