Gut Feeling (Draft)

The Browns Board

  • Hello all. tiphat-1.gif

    I'm hoping David DeCastro goes at #4. He can play all the line positions and he's a beast. If Richardson's available at #22, then by all means, take him. If not, take Blackmon or Floyd.

    none of those will be there @22.

    I'm not making predictions as to who's going where. Luck isn't a Colt and Griffin isn't a Redskin until I hear Commissioner Goodell say it. Exspecto quod animadverto, my friend. Remember that.

  • If the Vikings trade Richardson, we can always have something to tell our grandkids:

    We had the #4 pick in the great draft of '12 when Hall of Famers Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin and Trent Richardson went 1-2-3.

    We had a second 1st rounder, 13 picks that year and a boatload the next year, but we just stayed at 4.

    We got a decent cornerback that played out his rookie contract and left to play for a winner.

    We were only 12 years in to the "50 years of Hell" at the time.

    If this does happen, then I believe that Blackmon will be the pick at 4 and Weeden early in the second round if he is still there. I would be happy with that. I think I am one of the few on this board that believes Blackmon will be better than advertised. Played big in the big game and he was uncoverable! He reminds me of a Steve Smith, T.O. combo. I would love to have him and Little as our one two receiver punch.

  • Heckert has said that he like two guys and doesn't plan on trading up. One of his two picks will be there at #4. I have to believe they are refering to Richardson and Blackmon. I expect us to stay put and take one of those two at #4.

  • Richardson... Fleener.....Weeden

    Blackmon....Weeden.... Doug Martin...

    Blackmon.... OT Martin....Doug Martin...

    Thursday night seems so far away. LOL

    I agree with those two as our target first round picks. So which one of the two will we pick first?

  • Blackmon, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffery

    A nice receiver core ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

  • I've read multiple sources stating that the Rams are looking to replace Steven Jackson, who's unhappy with his contract. Shopping him and trading up to get Richardson is the plan. Now how would Browns fans feel if we get jumped for RG3 and Richardson? That would be probably be one of the worst case scenarios for our draft.

    We are assuming TR is going to be the pick. If we get jumped we can take Kalil and then doug martin and then ruben randell. Still a good 1st 3 picks. I still think st louis want Blackmon though. So if they jump they will snag him. They also have 2 2n rounderd i think to get the rb they need.

    If Richardson isn't there, we might as well trade down. Kalil is not going to win us games next year. We need guys that can put points on the board, and we need a FO that's going to be agressive and not afraid to take risks.

    you for got about blackmon? what about claiborn for our D.

    do you even care about the draft outside of trent richardson?

    If we can't get Trent Richardson, how about David Wilson? Virginia Tech. Complete freaking stud.

    Richardson is my favorite right now. Previously I had thought about Blackmon, but from what I've heard the WR's after him are just as good. If Heckert is convinced Blackmon is a Calvin Johnson - AJ Green type receiver, then go for it. The only thing I'm really against is O-lineman or defense at 4, so a no on Claiborn for that reason. Everyone knows our offense is pitiful, and could be considered one of the worst in the league. It doesn't matter how strong the defense is, you can't win if you don't put points on the board. We need guys that can score points.

    Or a guy who can throw the ball more than 10 yards.

    True, but I won't be happy with Tannhill or Weeden at 4 either. I'm sure most fans can agree, they aren't that good. RG3 and Luck are the only one's worth taking in the top5, and they will both be going 1-2 obviously.

  • It makes sense for the Bucs...breaks conventional wisdom and maybe its the gamble/difference in building a winning/exciting franchise. They have a bad fan base...they may actually sell some games out with an exciting young QB and RB.

    What is bad for the Browns- I'm all for making a championship caliber defense, but simple Cap 101 economics suggests that we don't pay two corners 20+ mil, especially given the NFL's Pro-WR rules.

    If the Browns want to bore us once more fine- I'm all for making us yawn during 12-4 seasons, but trading down and taking DTs and trading away Top 10 picks for journeyman and a Center, taking LTs, and a corner in the Top 10 and not producing wins doesn't exactly win people over- and right now cry that it doesn't matter but this organization needs to reconnect with its fans. Not necessarily me- heck I watched 16 boring @#!@#$% games last year.

    There is my rant.

    Man... you can just feel the tension building...

    Breaking the conventional wisdom often makes the least sense of all...

    Interesting take I'd not seen before... But wouldn't the new CBA keep MC's CB-bucks lower???

    That clinches it... I don't want anything that's part T.O. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    I've said it before, if Kalil falls to us, our phone will ring off of the hook and we will definitely trade down.

    OK, but I will bet several drachmas that Luck will be a Colt and Griffin a Redskin by tomorrow night.
