Montario Hardesty
-
HARDESTY is the REAL DEAL! He's played in the SEC and has been the highlight of the Tennessee Vols this year. HE CARRIED THEM to the Chick-Fil-A this year...(A game in which the shitty Crompton killed them in) I'm NOT a UT fan but I have to tell you with the highest praise that HE WILL HELP and maybe even CONTEND for the starter spot!!!!! THIS GUY IS A FOOTBALL PLAYER! YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED!

Damn I hate that video!I hate all people from Tennessee.
This guy could turn into the next Emmit Smith/Jim Brown/ Marshall Faulk combination and you will still hate him and not want him on the team because he went to Tennessee..
I love him already...
-
let me start off by saying that I am a big vols fan as well as a big browns fan and I couldnt be happier with this pick. I tend to agree that trading up probably wasnt the best move, he might of fallen to us anyway but man do I love montario hardesty. I genuinely feel like he was the most underrated rb's of this class. I have watched his entire career with the vols and the first thing you will notice with him is he runs HARD. He fires into the gaps and is a hard nose runner, never quits until the whistle is blown, he goes 100% every play and is a joy to watch. He has one of the best spin moves I have ever seen, and even on plays where he is met at the line of scrimmage, his power and momentum will carry his body for a 2-3 yard gain. He is the opposite of jamal lewis in that he doesnt tip toe around, he makes a choice and fires into it. I kno what jersey I will be purchasing, GREAT PICK.

I think Jennings is clearly out and probably J. Davis.
We got "triple H" now baby!!!! Harrison, Hillis and Hardesty

Reminds me a bit of Eddie George.
I get the feeling that the new Browns brass ain't that comfortable with Harrison.

Stan,
I think they're not comfortable with Harrison . . . getting 30 carries a game for 16 games. He carried quite a workload the last four games of the season and there's no way he would keep that up from September on. Getting Hardesty keeps everyone's legs fresh, especially when you throw Hillis and maybe Davis into that mix.
If I'm Lawrence Vickers, I'm literally foaming at the mouth hoping we run the ball 80 times a game. What a line, what a stable of backs. There's nothing like pounding on teams and playing keep away.
-
I really like the way this guy runs! He seems like one of those backs who has 5 yards before you even know it. I know it's a highlight video but I am a lot happier with the pick then I was yesterday.

I hate this pick. A striaght ahead runner who runs too high.
This team needs to fill so many holes. RB was not one of them. Especially after picking up Hillis from Denver.
Harrison, Davis, Hillis and we draft another RB? Makes no sense to me at all.
Morgan Burnett was there, as was Pat Angerer. Two guys that would've helped much more than yet another RB.
I love Burnette. A big Safety that can play either Free or Strong.

I like Hardesty but I agree with you there, would have rather had Burnett. We could of still picked up Dixon, Dwyer, still can get Blount or we could've traded a 5th for Lendale White or Leon Washington.

As I sat there today when Hardesty was chosen my jaw dropped. Really? Another RB? With so many on the board yet?
-
There were no more RB's left on the board in the class of Hardesty, and he would not have lasted until our 71st pick. After Hardesty, there were no RB's taken in Rd 3, only one (McKnight) picked in the middle of Rd 4, and no RB's selected in Rd 5. Trading up for Hardesty was a good move.
-
A report I read said that we traded up because the Seahawks were looking to grab him. That's why they traded for Lendale White today, they wanted that big bruiser back.

Sure, if Rb was a bigger need than Safety, or ILB or WR or DT/DE.
Harrison Hillis and Davis are all young, capable RB's.
The Browns starting tackles are over 30 and the starting NG is now in trouble with the law. Fujita, Bowen and Barton are 30 years old and older and The safeties are terribly below average. one of your ILB's is coming off a season in which he was out all year.
Yet we take a RB? I think it's almost shocking
-
Oldcrow, you make a good point. I, too, figured if we could "ignore" one position in this draft it would be RB. I didn't like trading up. He does run a bit high and that's not a good thing.
I think that this pick tells us a little somethiing about Tom Heckert though. It tells us:
a) he can discriminate fine differences between different guys at the same position. When Mangini was in NY in 2007, there were three highly rated CBs (Ross, Griffin and Revis). Somehow, Mangini knew to trade up to get Revis as opposed to being satisfied with the other two.
he can stick to his board when perhaps another team need might have made someone else reach. True, it's hard to pass up on Golden Tate but this pick shows a bit of conviction and I think we have to like that.The question with this pick is "is it 'Raiders-bad'???". I don't think so. I think a lot of people may question it but you can certainly find pre-draft material that had him rated this high.
Harrison had a great month last December but he isn't a big guy. Davis isn't huge either. The pick grew on me.
Looking back on this draft, it had two themes for the Browns: toughness and attitude. You have to admit that, at least for now, we seem to have had an upgrade in both attributes. I think the chances are less likely that Adrian Peterson makes that same run against us this year swatting defenders away like a guy in a wife-beater.
