  • Our main points of need are LB and DB. Assuming Schwartz, Gordon et al pan out, we'll definitely need to address defense. I think it will be a defensive BPA situation next season, as we can really plug and play any star player in. Outside of Haden, Ward, Sheard, Taylor and possibly Jackson, everyone's position is on the line.

  • I would say we take the "Honey Badger".

    Crazy thing is that the draft analysts who think he is going to have another great college season still only have him going in the late 1st for what ever reason. Talent is talent, doesn't matter how short you are. Plenty of people in the NFL have proven that.

    Cant forget guys like Gerald "Ice Cube" McNeil,Flipper Anderson and Billy "White Shoes" Johnson who were small guys that did well...and how about Dino Hall...

    this guy with the addition of LB and another DE would definitely give us a top ten defense. i got honey badger as our first pick next year. he can change a game in so many ways. saw him win the first alambama/lsu game last year almost single-handedly. blew my mind how good this dude is and throws his body around like a polamalu (except he's not gay.....just his nick name is).

  • Tyrann Mathieu and Joe Haden would be an awesome combo in our secondary! Put Skrine or Patterson in the nickel spot with Ward and a yet to be named FS and we've legitimately got a top 5 secondary.

    The only thing that I would say is that we may not need another DE, that is I'm hoping between the FA pickups and Benard that we already have our guy.

  • Just like all the mock drafts suggest, my bet is we'll be drafting a DE with our first-rounder next year. Rucker is not the solution.

    As for CB, my bet is the guy we took from ASU will be a competent nickel back.

  • heckert and holmgren have a lot at stake with the outcome of their picks this year. heckert's free agent signings at DE better pan out which we then could address the defensive backfield first.

    if ther are even sniffs of this year's draft picks being busts could be the last draft they ever see in the cleveland FO.

    I think there is a great chance we go D with our first pick next year. We could use a edge rusher, or OLB...and it never hurts to draft a corner high in the draft.

    I'd have a top evaluator at pretty much every LSU game with a cross checker at about half of them. They have a top prospect at every defensive position of need, not to mention you are covering a good portion of the SEC as they play other teams.

    So? Let's just draft a couple of LSU defenders? Sound about right? They could have 4-5 first rounders off their defense alone.

    And yet, he is rated only the 4th or 5th best player on LSU's defense.

    No man. The guy that is going to be a superstar is T. Gipson, the UDA DB we picked up. Just watch.
