You Gotta Take Peterson at 6 If He Is There

Worth knowing:
The starting corners on the #1 and #2 ranked pass defenses (by opposing QBR) are Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, Ike Taylor, and Brian McFadden. Highest drafted is low 2nd; most are much lower. The Steelers and Packers played in the Super Bowl. Before you say it, Woodson really isn't a cornerback anymore, as pointed out in pre-game. He's a "rover."
How did they do it? Not much of a mystery. They're also ranked #1 and #2 in sacks. Madden said it first but almost everybody in the NFL agrees: The key to stopping the high-powered pass offenses is pass rush, not the rare "elite corners." No matter how good they are, they can only cover one of four or five receivers while a pass rusher covers them all. And even the best can only cover a good receiver for a limited amount of time.
The last team to draft first round corners in back to back years? The Bengals. Both guys are very good. They panned out. But the Bengals ranked below the Browns in pass defense by QBR, #19, and went 4-12. Why? They ranked near the bottom in sacks with only 27.
Point: A lot of top teams would argue that a top 10 corner is never an efficient allocation of draft or cap resources. But two? Well, that's clinically insane.

I agree that the Browns priority should be a Defensive Lineman if one is the best pick on the board.

Browns need speed and "home run hitters" on both sides of the ball. WR and RDE are 1 and 1A. DT? We have Rubin and Shaefering, who might be a terrific 3-tech. We can either get a free agent, draft Casey in three... or both. My draft would be:
Green
Brooks Reed or Jabaal Sheard
Jurrell Casey
Best LB (Ideally Mason Foster who can play all three spots)
DL rotation is Reed, Rubin, Casey, Shaefering, Jayme Mitchell, and Benard. Benard and Reed off the edges on passing downs.
LBs are DQJ, Gocong, Fujita, Foster, Maiava, and probably a veteran (Nick Barnett?).

Perfectly said.

Its mind bottling that people want us to take a corner top 10.
Do you mean that it is "mind boggling"? Not bottling? Usually it is alcoholics whose minds are "bottling".
But who ever we take I think we all can agree we will want to be a stud!
Really? You want him to be a big sperm donor? Maybe that is what you had in mind to bottle?

Yes, I get it that mind bottling is a play on mind boggling. Also, I do get the e-mail every day from Urban Dictionary on their "Word of the day".

Hopefully, some day Browns FANS will get it after being dawg pounded for three decades now and winning nothing, even playoff spots. Offense wins championships and SKILL PLAYERS on offense make OFFENSE win....

and nary the WR's and RB's and QB's that make it happen
Oh well all that losing and we aint learned a thing....we must all be republicans

YES. In this league the WRs are too athletic not to get open no matter who you have on them. Peterson is no doubt a tremendous talent but he wont mean shit to us unless we get a DL in place. Considering the talent level isnt dropping off too much at all with Fairley, Dareus, Bowers and Quinn, they (or some of them) NEED to be above Peterson on the board because they are more valuble NFL positions.
