  • and from what i'm reading that means sheard or rubin might be on the trading block, which i don't like at all.

    stock piling LBs makes me think we'll go another direction with our first pick in the draft.

    Right. With the acquisitions of Kruger/Bryant/Groves, and with Rubin/Taylor/Sheard/Hughes/Winn/DQ/Gocong etc. still on the roster this team seems like it has its front 7 personell under hand.

    So, maybe the Browns will go for their DB needs in the draft. Though the only guy that is rated high enough for the #6 pick is Milliner, and he may not be there at 6. If not, maybe a trade down to pick up that OG.

    Let's face it: Despite Ghoolie's protests to the contrary a football team is make or break in the trenches. If they got Warmack then the Browns trenches could be looking like the Battle of the Marne or something.

    The first one or second one? Are you suggesting the Browns line would actually kill people? I'm 92.8% sure that's against the rules.

    Nice pickup! If we sign a CB I am going to predict that we are going QB in the draft. There are still plenty of CB out there so my guess is we will sign one. If so it makes sense that they would either be looking at a QB or trading back and then taking a QB later. But I have a feeling that somebody in the front office might have a thing for Geno Smith.

    Whether or not we get a CB it scares me that we bring in 2 OLBs when there are so many good ones at the top of the draft. Seems like we may be thinking about offense at 6 (Warmack, Geno, Coradelle)

    I'm absolutely with you on this one. If we sign a CB I'm starting to feel whichever QB they like will be the 6th pick. However it might also signal they really don't see Sheard as a quality starter at OLB or DE and still plan to get one of the OLB prospects to start. It's hard to say for certain.

  • Sorry for double post just a couple updates I'm seeing on Twitter and such: Browns expected to sign TE Gary Barnidge sp? from the Panthers, still interested in Myers from Oakland.

    Watch the panthers play often and Barnidge is a good depth TE. He seemed to always make the catch when in the game and came in on run plays a lot. I would take him over Alex Smith in a heartbeat.

    Yeah, he's a blocking guy, someone predicted this a long time ago due to the Chud connection, good call by them.

  • Never have a problem with a depth sign that has to fight his way through training camp.

    Maybe just the whole damn Western Front. And, OK, no deaths. Just let the other team bring out those meat wagons like they did in WWI.

  • Fred Davis is an interesting name that's come up u few times today

    I just mentioned that in the other TE thread.

    I'd love that sign, guy is tough to cover and can catch and run. Would be a good fit for Norv

  • Fred Davis is good but isn't he a little old? Plus coming off a big injury.

    I'd rather see us draft one of these dynamic new breed tight ends in the draft.

    He's only 27. Same age as Brandon Myers and are the youngest viable FAs left at that position.

    But I agree, if we miss on Myers or Davis, I'd love to see a TE drafted in the 3rd. (Escobar, Kasa, McDonald)

    What's funny is I was reading a Raiders beat writer site about them losing Bryant to the Browns and also us possibly being interested in Myers. All of them were talking crap saying we're taking them off their hands yada yada. The raiders franchise is clearly the most delusional in the NFL.

  • Here's a good site to get all the details on the goings on around the NFL. It updates pretty quickly too.

  • Wes Welker is a Bronco.

  • Browns resign Ogbonnaya aka Obi-Run-Kenobi to a two year deal. First and very possibly last Browns FA to be signed.
