    wow, I seriously thought I'd come back and see nothing but praise about the browns managed to do here. Guys, we had desperate need at DE, DT and WR. we can't fill all those friking picks with one. Phil Taylor has been nothing but solid and will be a starter from day one. We got a 2nd rounder and a first round pick next year to trade away from an extremely risky wide receiver, and took a solid DT which was an obvious need. I swear it's like if we don't take the flashy guy that has his name spit out by mcshay or kiper it's a "bad pick". It's kind of sad you guys don't trust that Holmgren and Heckert don't know what they're doing here. Like do you realize how deep the DE pool is this year people? This is the deepest DE pools in years, we will be able to a strong player to fill that need i'm sure of it.

    Great pick, great trade, go browns!

    Really? They can't? The Browns suck and will suck for 100 years because they didn't draft that one guy who could have played all three positions. They really needed that guy who can play De, DT, and WR. What a shitty draft, now the Browns will never make the Superbowl next year. They were only one player (who could play DE, DT, and WR) away from going to the superbowl. Now I think I'll just go and root for the Steelers.

    wow, I seriously hope that was worth the time you wasted writing that. I'm so dumb cause I honestly thought that until you cleared it up! like really dude? I was clearly making a point that people can never see the big picture in a draft and if they don't get the guy all over the news it's a bad pick. The point is that you don't make a growing team better with one pick that encompasses all the needs of the team in the first round. But I will clearly go to your expert knowledge from now on since you are so in the know and can actually read what people write so well! thanks man for the contribution

    This is why the ignore feature is AWESOME!

    I think Taylor is going to be one of those guys that you don't really hear much about on the broadcast, but he will eat up the trenches... Something that is needed after Shaun Rogers' departure.

    I am just hoping for some big pick-ups in Round 2 today...

    Otherwise, I think the Browns are going to make some big moves in Free Agency.... Asomugha is my hope, assuming the Jets don't out bid us.

    haha yea, I mean if FA opens before the draft the second round is going to be crazy for sure. As I said earlier, with the depth of the DE class this year there's still plenty of talent available to take with either pick in the second round. I think we could see either DE/WR taken top of the 2nd round, and a trade up in mid second to get the other piece of the puzzle. The ideal picks for me would be Brooks Reed and Hankerson, but as stated I trust what Heckert and Holmgren are trying to do.

    dude.. I was being sarcastic. I actually agree with you, I think it's funny how so many people on here think that the Browns are one playmaker away from being in the super bowl or something. The Browns pretty much need a player at EVERY position.

  • If FA opens before the draft, don't expect too many people to sign any where. Focus is on the draft and contracts don't get signed in one day.

  • Is the second rounder they got from Atlanta this year's or next year's?

    H&H really seem to know what they are doing. I'm very pleased with the extra picks they are getting. A team with needs at nearly every position needs the most picks it can get.

    This year.

  • Thanks.

  • all I have to say about this pick is TJ Ward. no one knew who he was and now he is a big fan favorite. Let Heckert and Holmgren work. They don't get paid 7+ million a year to be dumb.

  • I wouldn't qualify Taylor as a Ward, just because he actually went in his projected range, which was 20-32. He wasn't some unknown who was supposed to go in the 3rd or 4th. He was one of the top people in the draft at his position. Ward on the other hand was projected to at best be a mid 3rd round pick, while other mock drafts like Walterfootbal had him going in the 6th round.

  • i would have rather had jordan we need speed on the edge not a run stoper

    I absolutely agree with you. They needed to take the best player available at #21, and Cameron Jordan was it. Besides, DE is a glaring need for the Browns also. If you're going to trade up 6 spots by giving away your 3rd round pick, do it for a higher rated player that still fills a need.

  • If we had drafted Jordan he more than likely wouldn't have even played end for us. He would have been told to put on 10-20 pounds and move inside.

  • Like a lot of you I don't see why we had to trade back up to get him but I'm sure we had our reasons. At first, I hated the pick but the more I think about it, the more I'm coming to terms with it. I don't really have a doubt that he will be a really good DT I just don't know why we went DT when we have Rodgers and Rubin. We'll have a much better idea of what the thought process was in picking him after day two is done and we see what we go for.

    Yeah but I think Mangini was the DB guy in last year's draft. I'm not convinced Holmgren drafts very well and I'm still not sure about Heckert. Still, I like getting a DT I'm just not sure that is a glaring need for us as much as DE or OLB.

  • Who is Phil Taylor you ask? Why he is a champion dart thrower:

    He has won like 13 World Championships

    How do you still think Rodgers in on the team!? He was released as soon as the season was over and signed with the Saints before the lockout started. You need to update your self on the current roster. Before we picked Taylor, Rubin was the only starter on the whole DL.

    I know every time I tried to google the video of him hearing the news I get this guy.

    everyone keeps saying that nobody had heard of ward. HE WAS THE 2ND RATED SAFETY IN LAST YEAR'S DRAFT!! if you didn't hear of him you weren't paying attention.

    someone posted in another thread that kansas city was sniffing around his door. i think that's why we trade back up for him.

    Ward was actually far from the 2nd rated safety in the draft. He was no where close to being ranked as high as Berry and Thomas, which was why at best most mocks had him going in the 3rd, if not in the 4th or lower.
