      I still don't buy it. Every "NFL expert" is predicting the Browns to draft RG3 because they are all now just realizing that we have the most to offer for a trade up (two 1st round picks). They all predicted the redskins would trade up to take him until someone actually researched the Browns and discovered that Cleveland has an extra 1st rounder. Heckert wouldn't give up that much to move up 2 spots. It's insane. We got extra draft picks for a reason - to use them..

          If your gonna move up to take rg3 u might as well pony up for luck. no come May rg3 will not be wearing orange and brown take that to the bank

          "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

            See I don't trust any report containing so-called facts from unnamed sources. It is just a rumor. Plus I don't even think Heckert knows who he wants to draft yet. I think he knows what positions he wants to go after, but not any specific players. We are over 3 months away from the draft and don't have any NFL combine results to look at yet either.

              Agreed but i also think that after the Combine RG3 will only go higher up in value, im just assuming that Heckert is open to the idea of taking Griffin...

                    Agreed.

                    The term "league sources" is a sham. Remember when the squid Adam Shefter reported that, according to league sources, Holmgren's first act would be to fire Mangini. He had no information other than what he made up. After Holmgren announced that Mangini would be the Head Coach, then Shefter spun it that Mangini was only keeping the seat warm for one year while Holmgren lines up the roster for himself to coach. That reporter is a joke.

                    This Henley guy is probably a squid Shefter wanna-be. i imagine he is a sports nerd sitting in a bathtub, smoking a cigar, reading the sports page of the USA Today, and typing his story to ESPN on his iPad. Look at what he said in that little story: maybe the Browns will move up to get Griffin, maybe they won't move up to get Griffin, maybe they'll take Blackmon, maybe they'll take Claiborne. He left out the possibility of the Browns trading down. Perhaps he's saving that newsflash for tomorrow.

                      I've got some mixed-up feelings about the Browns draft of this year.

                      In my opinion having a good free agency campaign will be as important as having a good draft for the Browns. I've kind of lost my hopes that we can get back to where we belong just by drafting well in April. When I look back at the Browns' recent draft history I certainly see some errors, but I also see a few good players that were only in need of a solid team to mature the right way and we clearly were not an easy team to support the development of some of those young men. If you look at the Browns as they are today you see a team that failed pretty badly season after season, but all in all the holes to plug are not so many.

                      I mean: we're not a good team, but we're not a disaster! A team to rebuild top to bottom.

                      There must be a way to get back to the top other than "draft after draft", don't you think?

                      All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!!

                        Oh, and I forgot to add that I don't think trading first round picks will be a good idea (unless we land a real stud in any role out free agency...).

                          Well before ever team has there off season they do there big board and positional rankings, heard jeff fisher talking about yesterday on sirius radio, also he said they throw around a few scernaios and then close down the room until later in the process...

                          Also league sources could be withing the organzation or someone close to most likely its probaly a scout that works for the Browns, knowing that we are intersted in Griffin (Which any team in are postion should be)

                                Of course he's our guy. This dude is going to fall to us, so we're going to make it seem like we're really interested in him so that people know that if they want him, we will expect a bunch to trade out of the pick. My bet is that Heckert trades down again.

                                      I'm always interested to hear what Kosar has to say. If RGIII can see the field and make snap decisions like Bernie always did....

                                      maybe the Browns should draft him. But Colt will still start next year. But after that, RGIII might beat Colt out, how awesome would

                                      it be to have Colt as a backup?

                                      But, when a team -says- they want a certain player, you can bet they are just looking for a great trade down.

                                      I think.
