The Browns Are Better Today Than They Were Two Days Ago
-
This draft was for DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE.
even if our offense is inconsistent this year, we have a straight up BEAST front 7. With the additions applied in the offseason, does anyone believe the Browns could easily have the best AFC North defense???? Or at least a dominant D. I guess it depends on coaching but we all know Horton aint no dumbass. -
So we have 2 thirds and 2 fourths next year? How did this draft set us back 2 years?
And it was clearly stated that all the needs would not be filled.
T. Gibson starter day 1, with Jamoris Slaughter as the depth for now,

you are right about the front 7 all we have to worry about is someone getting past them.
and an answer to the title of the thread: huh? of couse we are. if we weren't then i guess we wouldn't have had any draft picks.

I'm happy with this draft.
First, our seventh rounders will be actual players unlike past years.. Gilkey was the #8 guard on several lists, and Bryant has the talent to be a starter.
Second, Slaughter and McFadden both have the talent to play immediately -- Slaughter had a rd1/rd2 rating before his injury, McFadden has been a baller for the last 2 years. on NFL.com, Slaughter's comparison is Brent Grimes.
Third, Mingo is the kind of player the Browns would never grab in prior years because they only drafted for immediate need. However, Mingo is the kind of athlete who can dominate -- Horton has to be happy, I look forward to seeing how he'll be used. Unlike the draft game, I doubt we received any serious offers to move down in the 1st and get value.
Fourth, trading back for picks in next year's draft should be a good strategy -- but that also means we have to hit on those picks next year, and in the Jones trade we only picked good players with 3 of the 5 picks. So I'm skeptical the FO will be able to execute next year.
Fifth, Gordon and Bess are great already for their cost.

i wish mld woody was here so i could punch him from NY to fuggin methhead michigan. talk about little girls. if someone disagrees with you so-called experts it comes down to "i'm taking my ball and going home" and "i wish someone else would punch someone else in the face cuz my nuts haven't dropped yet."
alright we didn't have alot to work with but adding a #4 slot receiver for swappin picks in 2 rounds really did nothing for us. i like the mingo pick but IMO the CB would have been the pick. did anybody else watch the same draft as me? did you see the run on CBs as soon as millner went off the board? then the safeties? I MEAN THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF THE PUZZLE WE NEEDED TO GET??
oh settle down. everything is great. the sky isn't falling. say that next year when our last 4 picks are either cut or don't even make the squad.

This board turning into a bunch of whiners. We have what we have, deal with it and take your fucking midol. Worse then my first ex wife.

CDL wants to beat off the first ND linebacker he finds.

i guess you weren't around for the first go round of mike lombardi as GM? some of the biggest names, some of our best players ever (maybe 4 i can remember) and the rest of them got swept out of the league like a dam bursting overtop every stadium they ever played in.
not saying mingo will be a bust or any of the other guys. i'm just hoping he's learned something over the years.
the 2 words that scare me the most that are associated with mike lombardi: jamarcus russell. remember that one before we all jump for joy.

Mingo has done kick ass Madden attributes. What else could you ask for?

For every second Pat Shurmur is no longer the coach, the Browns continue to get better. So yes, the opening statement of this thread is correct. I truly believe Shurmur was that bad. As well, Dick was pretty blah at the d side. But nobody sucks on dooky more than Patty. I think our team is going to be pretty good next year, and I for one think this draft has netted some decent tools. Can't wait for the season to start!
