How about that draft?

  • your strength of schedule link is no good. Those percentages where based on the 2009 records.

  • My bad, thanks for the link! So it looks like as of right now we are going to get the 1st round pick of anywhere from the 6th to the 8th.

    If Dallas and Houston both win we get the 6th.

    If just Dallas or just Houston wins we get the 7th.

    And if both Dallas and Houston loses we get the 8th.

    Houston just about has it's game won with 3 minutes left! Dallas is losing right now, but they are only down by a touchdown.

  • Dallas and Houston are officially 6-10, below us in the draft. The difference from 8th pick to 6th pick could help us nabb A.J. Green! or a stud DL...

    I'm just trying to be optimistic 🙂

    Whoa! Was anyone watching the Cowboys Eagles game? That was awesome. INT to seal it, Browns get the 6th pick baby!

  • Man, I hope we don't trade way down to get a left guard or deep snapper. We need a serious impact player, preferably A.J. Green. My gut says Holmgren fires Mangini Monday or soon, moves down the sideline, gives Colt McCoy a full year as a starter, and gives him weapons who can actually get open.

  • I still don't think it will be Holmgren. I think he'll be able to bring in "his" guy and stay upstairs since he started having success in Seattle when he gave up the GM duties.

    Out of curiosity, how do 1st round WR's usually fair in their first NFL season? I don't mean to be a downer, but I have a feeling we will lose A.J. Green to Cinci at #3, but if we were to get him, would he be able to make a impact from the get go?

    That's fine, then we take Julio Jones.

  • The 6th pick is too high for Julio Jones

    Well if we can't snag Green, Julio Jones and Justin Blackmon are basically our only options.

    Agreed, however there's a lot of time ahead and combine might improve his rating and/or another WR.

    To be honest, I would rather go for a D-lineman and try to pick up a great WR via free agency, trade or maybe in the later rounds of the draft. We have a solid core of possession WR's but we don't have that speedster/ #1 WR. If we can get a #1 WR via free agency, than I believe it would improve the game of all our possession receiver's (Mohamed Massaquoi, Brian Robiskie, Chaunci Stuckey, Josh Cribbs) by opening up the field for them.

  • DL, DL, DL, Hows T.O and Ocho Cinco doin in Cincy? Or Dez, Austin and Williams in Dallas? Maybe Moss in Tennessee? If you ain't got the QB it dont matter. Two teams took WR first RD. last year, Denver and Dallas. Both Coaches fired and both teams picking top ten in the draft. Go Browns

  • I don't believe that Cinci will use their first pick on a WR. They have an option on Ocho and I think that they will take it, plus they have a surplus of WR's front the 2009 draft that they like and have been getting more involved in the past weeks. It's a toss up to get Green at 6, and I think if we miss him we TRY (I know alot of you complain when people say we should have moved back, I am just saying if he's not their we try to drop back on the board to pick up picks) or we draft a DE.

    since 1990

    76 WR have been picked in the first round

    22 have made at least 1 pro bowl

    14 have made 2 or more pro bowl

  • if green aint there then there isnt any reason not to take a top tier de

    With a pick at #6 I agree, but if AJ is gone it would be sweet if we could pull out a deal where we can move back to like pick 15-20, get Jones or Blackmon, and pick up some more picks.

  • Jones might be there when we draft in the 2nd round

    I agree with this except I don't want to see Holmgren on the sidelines. He belongs in the front office. It never works out when a coach has this much power...

    Do we plan on taking a QB in the draft? Historically, Holmgren usually, if not always, takes a QB in the draft. Maybe 3rd or 4th round? I am not downplaying Colt, but we don't exactly have great confidence in our current QBs. McCoy has been somewhat promising, Delhomme blows, and Seneca is hit or miss, but mostly miss.
