My Take On The First Day
-
I'm a bit disappointed the Browns didn't take an impact player and opted for warm bodies but it's hard to tell at this time. Really thought they would look for a game changer and try to compete in 2011. Anyway hope there will be some WR's taken in the 2nd.
Kure Beach, Ft. Fisher and most all of the OBX is barreling so I'm off for the weekend. Gotta keep my high from a week on the North Shore going. Maholo, Aloha!!!

I have thought that we have needed help on Defense more so than on Offense. I know I know I know that it seems that our offense we putrid at times, but I don't think we had a very offensive minded OC and HC. Prior to the season we heard about all these new formations and what not, and how Cribbs was going to be utilized. How did that work out for us? It didn't and we saw a very mediocre year for Cribbs. That's coaching IMO.
We had some very good offensive games against, the Saints and the Pats, but it seemed like we got over conservative with lesser teams. I think our WR's are a decent bunch of guys, but I don't think we had and Offense that utilized them correctly and under utilized guys like Evan Moore. I have a feeling that H&H see something in our Offense that Mangini and Daboll did not use properly.
Time will tell, but I think securing our D is a good way to go. We have some talent in offense, let's just see it put to use this year.

I was all in favor of taking DL with Browns first pick. The Browns were highly vulnerable against the run, and this guy certainly fills the bill of being a young Shaun Rogers type run stuffer. But a pass rusher definitely needs to be addressed.

Yes we do need a pass rusher, more DL help is needed. It looks like the plan the front office has they are going to stop the run and make people pass against us. With Rubin and Taylor clogging the middle it should make running against us a lot harder. Be interesting to see how today shakes out.

DE and a WR today. You can count on that.

My Take - Optimistic but not satisfied.
Iam worried about the foot problems that Phil has been associated with esp. since Hardesty has been on the same boat. Does us taking him mean we are slowly moving away from Big Baby ? I hoper we do not draft WR's in the second round and just get an established solid one through the free agency. Hopefully we concentrate more on solidifying our Offensive line as far as the Offense side of things goes.

Shaun Rogers is no longer on the Browns roster, so we are not moving "slowly" away from him. We sprinted away and left him in the dust. In fact, I think he is now on the Saints roster.

Listen, our first day couldn't have been better. We got a ton of value with trading with the falcons.
As a browns fan it is about time we did one of these trades. As fans we always want that sexy pic. This puts our team in great position to add a butt load of talent this year and next..
Plus, and this isn't what I'm hoping for but let's say colt mccoy doesn't look like he is the guy after this year. This gives us ammunition to go up and get an andrew luck!

I was afraid of this... I really don't want anything to do with Luck.

His foot issues turned out to be false rumors from everything I have heard. Heckert said that not only did the NFL give his foot a clean bill or healthy, but the team doctors found nothing wrong with it after all the x-rays and mri's.
-
The only thing I didn't like about Phil is his Twitter saying "Washington DC/Waco, TX gonna go get that money, ya dig?". To me, that's a big problem. Let's hope the guy has his head and heart in the right place.
-
yeah heckert seems to like smaller DEs trent cole for example. So I think there just trying to get the biggest wall of meat up the middle they can so they can have those quicker DEs, Justin Houston maybe? he has more of a 34 olb body just like cole did

Yeah, I couldn't help but notice that watch he was wearing- loan money from an agent? That toy had to cost at least 10 grand.

Im dissapointed because there where better players at the pick available on the board and why they took a guy whose a 3 tech stance 3-4 guy made absoluetly no sense whatsover. hes a 3-4 NT not a 4-3 DE/DT. and upon listening to him talk...He sounds like a dumb bag of rocks. Book it "BUST"

You know what: Oddly, I will trust Heckert and Holmgren's judgment on talent evaluation more than I will trust yours. Can you possibly imagine why that would be?

Considering that he HAS PLAYED IN A 4-3 HIS WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER I think he will do fine. And please name who was a better player to play 4-3 DT at not just 21 but spot 27. There was Cam Jordan, who is too big for a 4-3 DE and too small for a 4-3 DT (not to mention that he never played DT in college so there would be a learning curve) and then there is that dude from Temple who is just 15 pounds lighter that Taylor (but played in a much weaker league against much weaker competition) and then there was Cameron Heyward who could have moved into DT (but he is coming off a serious injury and would still have to put on at least 10 to 20 pounds since he is only like 290). Oh and you know what else I read. Taylor is still losing weight, and Shurmer said that when he shows up to the facility that he is going to tell him to stop losing weight and keep it where it currently is. Cause apparently THEY WANTED A GUY HIS SIZE!!!

gotta agree with the stated mentality on the board regarding Brown's NOT being one player away from division champ/playoffs/super bowl. H & H seem rooted in the reality
that the Browns have a multitude of needs in every phase and the quickest way to plug the holes is to bring in as many quality players as possible. I like the trade with
ATL and firmly believe it will pay dividends as the Brown's claw their way back to the top of the division.

Agreed. We are building a DL from inside out. Stuffing the run inside is a priority, not only in our division, but toward allowing our outside guys the freedom to get disruptive. I like the table that is being set & I have complete trust in H, H & Co. This is fun stuff to watch.

I liked the trade a lot but on the surface it does look like we drafted a 3/4 nose tackle. Usually when a guy is that big he continues to gain weight which means he will soon become an immovable and immobile object, perfect for the 3/4
