You Gotta Take Peterson at 6 If He Is There
-
The Browns will trade down before taking Peterson. It is nice to be able to take the best player available but that is not how the draft works out when you have holes. Since most teams now build there team through the draft you have to fill your roster.. I know some of you would love it if we drafted a corner in every round, but it doesnt make sense.
Until we improve our talent we will draft for talent and need.
its like us drafting a Left tackle because he is the best player available, would that make sense?

I have to disagree. I'm not saying we take Peterson just because he is the best available at that point, I'm saying pick him since he is, has the best value, and we need another corner to start, takes two. Sheldon is getting old, I don't see how the left tackle analogy relates to Peterson, we do NEED another starting corner. Taking Peterson doesn't hamper our rebuilding of the roster, it still helps if not solve's starting CB problem for the next decade. I doubt anyone on this thread is saying pick best available no matter what...that just wouldn't make sense.

Really?? So your saying we should start drafting a corner to replace sheldon brown.
Once again, makes no sense. We have to many needs else where to start drafting for replacements..
You draft a corner in the later rds and maybe sign one. Sheldon brown can still play.. we will not draft peterson, so its a mute argument.
Are you matt millen??

I don't really seeing you put any good points in really. Are you saying Sheldon Brown and Haden are enough on the flanks with eric wright backing them? No. Brown was solid but burnt out at the end of the season and it showed. You speak as if Brown is a lockdown corner and we shouldn't bother looking to draft YOUTH there, as the point of our rebuild is, not to keep the stop-gaps. CB is one of the needs you speak of and there is still free agency left to pull trades and pull in young players. Peterson isn't a replacement...he is the future. Sheldon is gone when his contract is over because of his age and than what? Not everyteam trades down in a draft because they have numerous holes...Mangini did that for us and it helped a bit but we missed impact players and studs such as Clay among others. We need playmakers and cornerstones defense, I will not want us to trade down to grab another "solid" player but pass on all the impact guys.
Since you parted with a less than nice comment I end mine with, are you Retarded? We're all fans here, no need for your belittling comments, as if you're SO right. Not hearing what your genius plan is.

Brown is a good corner but he is getting older, slower, and more injury prone. I loved that he played last season even though his shoulder was screwed up the whole time. I shows great character, grit, and leadership. The thing though we have no one who can play behind him if (lets be honest here probably when) he gets injured again. If we don't take Peterson (the only CB I am saying is worth drafting with our first pick mind you) then we are just going to be looking to draft a CB in the next 1-3 years anyway so why would we pass up on a once in a decade type of corner this year to pick up a top of the draft corner in the next 1-3 years. Plus I think that next to Peterson, Green is the only other player with the lowest amount of bust potential. All of the top 4 DL picks actually have quit a bit of bust potential. Fairly and Darius both have effort issues and there is a chance they can both turn into the next Haynesworth. And the thing with both Bowers and Quinn is that they have both really only had one big season and Quinn's wasn't even this year, plus Quinn has the whole Gholston comparisons as well so that doesn't help.
To a point you are right, you need to look at both needs and BPA. Kind of like how alot of people consider Peterson to be the best player available in the draft, but if some how both Green and Peterson are available, I think there is a really good chance we go with Green instead.
But whatever because who ever we pick in the first round (as long as it is not a huge jump like last year when we took Ward 1-2 rounds ahead of where he was projected to go) I am going to be excited because I believe that these guys know how to draft for the systems we are putting in.

Great so even if he does pan out we will have a solid cornerbacks and no pass rush.
Listen the fact that we drafted haden last year and he appears to be a solid pick means we won't draft another corner with a top 10 pick.
We have so many needs. If aj green is there we will draft him.
I have never seen a team win with only corners.. you need some passrush to help your corners.

Why do people act as if our secondary is elite? It's still a weakness.
And this draft is packed with defensive linemen. Not to mention there's plenty in free agency.
Cornerback is easy to gage whether or not someone will be a shutdown corner. This guy is as much a sure thing as anyone else.
If Peterson is there, take him.

I agree. I'm cool with either Green or Peterson.
But in my opinion, Peterson is more of a sure thing (cornerbacks usually are) than AJ Green.

I'm really kind of torn on this idea. I kind of agree with on the BPA idea, but I don't think you can overlook the idea of BPA AND filling the biggest needs of the team. You could disagree with me on this, but I think DE and WR are the two biggest needs on the team. I think a player that is being overlooked by some here is Robert Quinn from UNC. i know he had the issues in college, but before all that happened he was considered a top 3-5 talent. I'm not sold on him yet, but I think he could be great. I just hope AJ Green falls past the bengals, because I think that makes our pick pretty easy to make.

It really should not be a BPA vs. need debate when this team could use an upgrade in just about every position aside from QB, RB, LT, and C.
And I'm not sold on Quinn. He's too weak to be a defensive end, not to mention there are talks he'll probably move to OLB.

I think your right but it's not by much. Hell Amukamara actually has very little bust potential and is projected to be slightly better at coverage as Peterson, but Peterson is just a lightning fast giant who is a way better in run support as well.

I really just think there is too much bust potential with him to justify taking him at 6 or in the top 15 at all. Only one productive year and a whole year spent suspended plus just because he is a freak athlete doesn't mean that he is going to bet great or even average for that matter as we all found out with Gholston. He's like a 50/50. I honestly think that he is going to be the free fall player this year.
-
yea, i mean you guys could definitely be right. I'm going to reserve any type of judgment on him till he does the workouts and everything. I agree with you secondwave, but I think you have to look at it as this. We significantly upgraded DB last year right?. I understand we still need help there, but I just think we need more help in other areas. Like I said, if AJ green is there I think there's no doubt who we take, but if not there's a lot of players there who are up to debate to take.
The thing is, i hold a lot of my judgment until after the pro workouts. It's a lot of talks until the professionals look at people's workouts. and i hate mel kiper haha.

Its mind bottling that people want us to take a corner top 10.
But who ever we take I think we all can agree we will want to be a stud!

Amukamara is probably more of a sure-thing, but Peterson has a higher ceiling. Much better hips, and ridiculous burst, something Amukamara doesn't have. The problem with having Amukamara on the Browns is that he's too much like Haden with his style of play. He's not quite as physical, but he's not the speed beast that Haden is. Peterson would compliment him far better.
He's also proven himself in going up against AJ Green and Julio Jones.
Amukamara gets beat by speedsters who are great route-runners.

Woooord.
As long as the Browns don't draft Marcell Dareus and Robert Quinn, i'm a happy guy.
Bowers isn't dropping to us. He's a sure thing for the top 3.

The Browns will trade down before taking Peterson. It is nice to be able to take the best player available but that is not how the draft works out when you have holes. Since most teams now build there team through the draft you have to fill your roster.. I know some of you would love it if we drafted a corner in every round, but it doesnt make sense.
Until we improve our talent we will draft for talent and need.
its like us drafting a Left tackle because he is the best player available, would that make sense?

I agree we could trade down, but we won't draft for need with that pick. I just read a article yesterday where Holmgren said we will take the best player on our board. Heckert has stated he goes BPA.
Free agency is where you fill holes. The draft is where you bring in the best talent you can....especially at the top of the draft.
Like I said in my previous post....you use mid rounders to fill holes in the roster if you are in that situation, and maybe use a 2nd rounder that way if you are really pressed, but if you start using first round picks to fill a need and pass on better players to fill that need, you are doomed to suck.
If you think that is the best way to draft, join a fantasy league of some sort and before the draft list all the starting positions in any order you want, then draft following that predetermined list.
I'll bet your team sucks.

Its mind bottling that people want us to take a corner top 10.
But who ever we take I think we all can agree we will want to be a stud!
Of course, as I said I will be happy with who ever we take with the first pick just as long as they are not a huge stretch. But I honestly thing since Holmgren and Heckert are going BPA and that the secondary is still one of out needs, even though not our most demanding, that there is a good chance we take Peterson if he is available.

No one has said what many a pundits have said that Peterson looks to be converted to Safety in the NFL. Much like Jenkins was from OSU for the Saints. Jenkins had a very good year this year and looks to be a very good FS in the NFL. I would draft Peterson at 6 as a safety and that is only if Fairley, Bowers, Darius and Green are all off the board by that time.

Dareus is severely overrated. I wouldn't go anywhere near him.
Fairley is ok but he'll be gone for sure by before the 3rd pick. Green, Bowers and Peterson should be the only 3 they should be looking at with the #6.
And it's been speculated, but that's all it is, speculation. Most of that speculation is that Peterson will move to safety later on in his career, a la Rod Woodson.

A lot of older CB spend the last few years at safety and it's expected that Brown will finish his career at safety, but I have yet to here anyone suggest the Peterson should be moved to safety. I have heard a lot of people say that he is a corner playing in the body of a safety, but not that he should switch positions. If we draft him is would serve us better to keep him at corner and switch Brown to safety so that our starters would be Haden, Peterson, Ward, and Brown and on nickle it would be Haden, Peterson, Brown at CB and Ward, Elam at safety.
I also agree that Dareus is over rated. He has had to solid years to Fairly's 1 but he has been injured off and on and like Fairly he has a lack of effort issue sometimes.

Yeah, trust me, Peterson won't move to safety. Not for another 8-10 years. The move from CB to S is usually only made in the early years of prospects who aren't projected to go in the 1st-2nd round. In that regard, most CBs make that move to lengthen their careers because they're in the tail-end of their athletic peak. Peterson moving to safety would be dumb, and quite frankly, drop his value.
Sheldon Brown is washed up. TJ Ward is a tad overrated by Browns fans, but he is a decent safety. Haden has the potential to be an all-pro corner, but it remains to be seen. The second year is usually a good measuring stick for a player's potential.

I like Peterson alot and think he'd be great here but we'd have alot of money invested into are CB,dont get me wrong if we draft him ill be happy because to me him and Green are the surest thing in this draft...
Dareus-Overrated Played well Sophomore season 11 sacks, compared to this past season 2 1/2
Quinn-The guy hasnt played football in over a year and people wanna draft him with the 6 overall pick, no thanks
Miller-I think he is gonna be an absoulte beast at the next level, but would fit alot better in the 3-4 OLB scheme, although i like him as 4-3 OLB as well
Bowers-One year of great production and has great Size and speed..Still you never know look at Gaines Adams (RIP) never quite lived up to his potential
Fairley-I think he will be a great Pro but will be long gone by the time we pick, also has only one year of great production and has Charcater concerns
So give me Green or Peterson
Id like Miller if both are gone
