Browns will pick 6th

Wouldn't the Bengals take DA for their 3rd round pick (assuming DA is healthy)? He is certainly better than that kid from Harvard. For us, that is nearly a low 2nd round pick.

Why would the Bengles even consider DA. They have Palmer and a DA clone in their backup.
How About Detroit, Minn, Seattle? Especially The Seahawks who need to rebuild everywhere.

Assuming this is the top of the draft...
1. Detroit - Matt Stafford or Sam Bradford...but Stafford wins out
2. St.Louis - Andre Smith, OT
3. KC - Michael Oher, OT (they may go with Bradford...but I think Thigpen gets another year)
4. Seattle - Michael Crabtree, WR (they need weapons on offense)
5. Oakland - Taylor Mays, SS (this is Oakland after all)
6. Cleveland - decisions, decisions
They guys the Browns are likely to look at (Orakpo, Maualuga, Lauriniatis, Curry, Jenkins, Davis, Cushing) are all pretty much UNLIKELY to go before the Browns pick here. The one MOST likely to be gone will be Curry...as he might be gone to St. Louis, Oakland or Cincinnati if they pick ahead of us.
So, there is a pretty good chance we are going to have our pick of 6 out of 7 of our top players (and Cinci may just go with Wells anyway).
Currently, the guys moving UP according to Kiper are Cushing/Jenkins/Orakpo/Tyson Jackson/Laurinaitis (Maualuga #3 and Curry #1 are at the top anyway).
Scouts Inc has Jenkins and Curry as the top of that group.
I just don't see us going corner in the first round...and with Curry being the top guy according to Kiper/Scouts Inc/Scott Wright....he seems to be the way the Browns are likely to go.
With the possibility of going to a 4-3...I think the VERSATILITY of Curry is going to be a huge factor.

Great work on this, John. Thanks for keeping it updated.
I'm hoping for Curry now. Alo's Curry-ing favor (badumBUH) has worked on me too. That guy just LOOKS like a stud.
And if you look back at the last few top 10 true LBs (not rush guys like Gholston), they are a pretty safe pick. Speed and power at that position definitely translate and Curry has that in spades.
I don't like the idea of Orakpo AT ALL. It's great he's a weightlifter and all but I just don't trust guys like that.
If it's not Curry, then I'd take my chances on Maualuga. We HAVE to have that LB presence, I think, and a true stud LB will make everyone even better.

Ha. Nice, Juki.
But don't take my word as gospel on Curry. You can watch him play this Saturday at 11 on ESPN & judge for yourself.
Later this week, I'll be posting a writeup of which prospects to watch in that & the other bowl games this weekend. Curry definitely will be at the top of the list.

I think the Browns will pick 7th...as far as who?...I have no idea as I have not had the time to follow the college game as usual. They SHOULD be able to grab a very nice player.
I DO agree with moving Cribbs to RB...that would REALLY diversify the offense.
Time will tell

I want a sure thing.
I don't want a stretch.
I don't want a project.
I don't really care what position he plays, I just want him to play, and play it well.
To me, the worst thing we can do is focus on "a" position....let's just get a damn good football player.

i don't know that we'll pick eighth at this point. there are three five-win teams in the league: san francisco, jacksonville and green bay.
san francisco is rounding into form and has a win on us with games remaining at saint louis ang against washington; they should at least win one of those and could possibly take both.
jacksonville has indianapolis and baltimore left. both would be tough wins, but there's always the chance that baltimore could hav nothing to play for and rest their starters in their week 17 matchup.
green bay plays in chicago and then has detroit at home. they'll at least be able to handle the lions and could take the bears down. any nfc north team can lose to any other during any given week. there's just no predicting that division. then again, if the lions haven't won before week 17, they're going to seriously throw down the gauntlet to avoid being the first 0-16 team.
which only leaves us. we have the bengals at home and then we go to pittsburgh. the way we're playing right now, i don't know if we can even beat the bengals. i'm just not sure if we can score enough points. it's entirely conceivable that one TD could beat us. definitely two.
this could end up being a four-win season very easily, and we could have the seventh pick in the draft.

JD, I already updated this to show we will LIKELY pick 6th. I think we don't win another game...and I think Cincinnati beat US AND KC...to end up 1/2 a game ahead of us.

whoops. my bad. i should've re-read the earlier posts. i am, after all, sometimes an idiot.

I thought Michael Crabbtree was a pure Sophmore and not eligible for the draft. Some Seattle blogs are talking about Bennie Wells or Sam Bradford.

after today's action, with seattle and the raiders winning, the browns now have the fifth pick in the draft. it's detroit, st. louis, kansas city, cincinnati then us, though seattle likely has a weaker SOS, which would bump us behind them to sixth.

Oakland and Seattle BOTH have a weaker strength of schedule than us....so we remain 7th at this point.
The only way we move up is if we lose (likely) next week and one of the following teams win:
Cincinnati (play KC in Cincy)(LIKELY)
Oakland (play @ TB)(NOT LIKELY)
Seattle (play @ AZ)(POSSIBLE)
The only way we move down is if we WIN (not likely) next week and one or more of the following teams lose:
Jacksonville (@ Baltimore)(LIKELY)
Green Bay (@ Chicago; Detroit)(NOT LIKELY)
So we are are MOST LIKELY to pick 6th or 7th...and I would bet on 6th.

I just go here to see the odds of where we most likely will pick.....pretty good site you may want to bookmark....and yes....6 seems to be the number
