keenan lewis to the saints

Think he has much left in the tank?
I've always wondered what kind of numbers he would be able to put up if he was on a good team.... Guy is a freaking Clydesdale...
hopefully changing scenery and being on a REAL contender will put a little more juice in his gallop.
hell if michael turner could do it behind that line.....imagine jackson.
i think he'll go out there with something to prove to himself and to the fans. good luck to him. even though he's not a brown, he's one of those guys you gotta give mad respect to.

Actually, you had it right- we swapped spots with the Ravens- they took Ngata, we took Wimbley.
That was Doofus Davis who traded UP one spot to get his Miami Man-Crush Winslow. Might have been worth it if Knievel Winslow hadn't been doing stunts in a parking lot on his crotch rocket.

so geno smith killed it in his pro day yesterday.
so i'm watching boomer and carton (msg network, boomer eswiason and craig carton....better than mike and mike) and esiason says he won't make it out of the top ten and he might not make it out of the top five. then they mentioned the teams desperate for a qb and were talking about a bidding war between them to move up. which of course puts us in the thick of things at number six.
no, i didn't mention taking smith ourselves because we have a QB we drafted last year in front of a QB we drafted 3 years ago. besides there will be a geno smith+3 coming out next year. we should ride weeden's arm this year and let him prove himself (or not).
if milner and jones or jordan are gone do we trade down no question and pick up another pick or do we take BPA? i really think the heat behind smith is going to rise and teams will start throwing things at the first 6 teams to move up and get him. if we can trade down and still get a player we need and pick up a second, i say we do that.

You might be right, and if it meant moving down a spot or two for an extra pick I'd be on board. However the Lions and Eagles are in a great spot to trade down as well, which I see happening as of today. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bills hop up to 4 to grab Smith. The Cardinals or Bills have to take a QB though, it's just a matter of how much they like Geno over the seemingly rest of the 2nd round talents.
-
The only QB in the first round will be Geno Smith, 7 to Arizona at the latest. The talk I heard yesterday was that Buffalo would go after Nassib in the second or third, not the first.. which leaves us with no dance partner. Also, next year is 4 QB's in the top10.. so I don't think teams will try very hard to trade up this year. Stranger things have happened, but trading back requires someone else to desire to give up 2 solid starters for the 6.

You cannot win without a good QB in this league, period! Teams need a good QB, and that includes the Browns, Cardinals, Eagles, Bills and Jaguars. Probably missed somebody there. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 2 QB's go in the top ten this year if a few of them have great pro days. We will see how all of their pro days go. As was stated earlier Geno Smith blew everybody away. Last year we saw that from the Redskins QB and look where he ended up being drafted. My guess is that the Browns sitting at 6 will once again be sitting to low in the draft to either get the QB they want, or to trade back and let somebody else get the QB they want. Geno Smith will likely go #1 or #2 this year which means if those other teams really want one of the other guys they will have to jump at the chance, miss out or have a good backup plan.
Added note: QB's are the most valuable commodity in the NFL! If you have a good QB you have a winning team, if you have two you have a winning team plus big time trade value. The Problem with the Browns is they haven't had a good QB since Kosar. And there is no indication Weeden will ever be good enough. So if I thought one of those QB's was the real deal I would jump, and if I liked a late round guy I would probably jump again. Then let the best man win. But that's just me.

If you are judging a player by a pro day workout your crazy. A pro day is a choreographed practice that's been practiced for the past month a 1000 times over. Its as meaning less as it gets, its more for the media to ooh and awwe over and qb thread starters to reinforce their opinions.

oh, i agree 100%. but because of the 'overated' and 'blown up' hype spouted from people like ron jaworski (who i think blows) the teams that are looking desperately for a QB and will take a chance on smith might gamble and start throwing offers at the top 6 six teams to see what will stick.
cardinals, buffalo definitely need QBs and don't forget about the jets. i like david garrard but in no way do the jets think he is their guy of the future. another injury and you're back to mr. butt fumble.

In all reality all you have to do to make sure teams don't trade up with a team ahead of us to grab Smith is to tell them we will trade with them, meaning that they won't have to offer as much, if say they were to trade up to 4 or 5, and that we would take the best off given to us. I think the only other spot we might possibly see teams like the Cards or Bills trade up to is #2, and that would be so they could get ahead of the Raiders.

Really, the Bills or Jets trying to move ahead of Arizona is the only concievable trading partner we have to move down. That move would only get us a 3rd rounder in return, but either way it's a pretty safe trade for us. I think our priority (as of right now) is Milliner so if he goes to the Lions and Geno is still on the board then no doubt we try and trade down. We could probably still get Ansah or Jones at #8 or #9.
I hear Banner is really high on Jones, as am I. Is there any possibility he can play ILB in a 3-4?? I heard he was versatile, but I have not looked into it or watched enough fil to know if that is even an option.

The Eagles acquired Arrelious Benn for a 6th round pick.
The guy was a 2nd round pick only two years ago. He has a good combo of size and speed and is only 24 years old.
He's been an absolute non factor in TB, but I feel he had greater upside than most 6th round picks.

dolphins are going all out this FA. not saying i agree with their picks or the money being spent but they just signed one of the better TEs (IMO) in the league in keller.
his #'s aren't all that but if you had sanchez throwin the ball to you, your #'s wouldn't be that impressive either.

But they would be trading for a QB pick. That inflates the value. Plus they would be bidding against each other, that inflates the value even further.

4 of the last 5 teams that spent the most in FA actually regressed the following year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them do terrible next year.

Yeah I read that one too, cleveland traded away 4/5ths of the draft away for corey williams and shaun rogers. Then preceded to over pay D.A and Dante stallworth.

I couldn't bring myself to read the part about Cleveland. I literally started to have a panic attack. The mismanagement and stupidity physically make me ill.
