    Not a lot of quality players there. Hell, it looks like his best pick was a kicker...Janikowski.

    or maybe Asoghmwa

  • Between Banner and Lombardi (and their meddling ways), I'm really not hopeful about the near future of this team.

    Jarmarcus Russell is also on that resume.

    Jesus Christ, you think Al Davis would have let him pick anyone else?

  • He drafted a kicker in the first round...

  • I don't like it at all. I don't like Banner either.

    Prove me wrong & just win.

    This is the hire that ensure we will continue to be 4-12 until he's fired...Im very upset by this. Hiring this incompetant tool just ensures final demise of the Cleveland Browns.

    The demise already occurred (Isn't "final demise" redundant?) I'm hoping for no further delays in resurrection.

    Redundant,that may be. But the bottom line is..."This asshole sucks" and the futility will remain. And I

    ll just bet if this team does not break 500. in year 2 of the process...Banner and Lomtardi will be looking for jobs.

    He wasn't the one who picked him. He started after that. Search it out.

  • Let's hope it says on the draft room door "Mike Lombardi is not allowed."

  • Its a done deal so there is no use in crying about it..

    I am going to give the brass the benefit of the doubt for the time being as there is nothing we can do as fans but hope jimmy and joe are right about both chud and lombardi..

    We have an owner that wants to win so i will back that horse at least until it becomes obvious that it is lame..

    Cleveland Browns Forever!

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • We still have all the college scouts Heckert brought in with him, which is a plus...

    We have Banner who can overrule Lombardi...

    We have Chud who has input...

    I'm sure Norv will be giving some input...

    It's really not the end of the world. Lombardi has drafted some talent in the past. Plus, it's not like he's the head guy anyway.

    If we get Horton as DC, I will be thrilled with the offseason thus far.

  • Its Friday, time to drink some beer and enjoy the weekend. Cheers to all of you disgruntled and non disgruntled fellow fans.

    👍

  • I'm fine with the hire, no bridge jumping, wrist slitting for me.

    👍

  • He's just going to be a guy who knows a lot about the scouting dept. He's been keeping up on all the comings and goings going on in the NFL now for a while. He reports on the stuff all the time. He's got eyes and ears out there... probing. I think he'll be our middle man and also a scape goat in case stuff starts fucking up...

  • To be fair a lot of the picks he made weren't on him, but at the same time I've been reading around that on NFL network he's apparently said stuff like "Terrible that the Browns picked Joe Thomas over Brady Quinn." or "Waste of a pick to get Josh Gordon." Etc. that makes me very wary of him.

    I'm hoping it's a team effort thing and that he's more so a scout than anything. I love the OC and DC hires although I'm a little disappointed that we may be changing to a 3-4, hopefully it'll be more of a hybrid thing because we have too many dlinemen to run mostly a 3-4.

    Did Haslam and Banner bother to check out his guy's track record before they hired him? Really? Lombradi will get NO benefit of the doubt from me.

    I sure as hell hope someone other than this doofus has final say, or it's Matt Millen revisited.

    Im totally sickened by this hire.

  • Well, they make 3 good hires one absolutely horrid hire. Welcome back to reality, Browns fans.

  • I would have liked to keep Heckert, he would have made this a blockbuster FO and Coaching Staff. But alas, Heckert you left us in a better position than you found us and you'll always be liked by me. Everyone else that was here was welcomed to take a hike.

    I kind of agree on Lombardi's comment that The Browns picking Weeden at 22 was a panicked move to try and save jobs. They should have taken a LB, CB, RG, or even a FB for God's sake. I didn't like the Weeden pick because regardless of how you slice it, it's not a SMART pick. He's almost 30, that's rediculous, you're not planning for the long term with that pick and you also stunted the development of the promising QB we already had here.

  • I watched the press conference of the announcement on the Browns' website. The Lombardi hire wreaks of croneyism and it was pretty apparent that Banner and Lombardi will be the two main guys making draft mocks and decisions. I am pretty sick about this. Especially after looking at the list of picks Lombardi has made. If this sours, as I think it might, I hope that Haslam has the stones to admit his mistake and make the necessary changes. Also, it is insulting to my intelligence to say that Heckert was fired not because of his ability to draft talent, but because he did not know how to build a team, whatever that means. It is also insulting to my intelligence to tell me that this is an upgrade.
