Browns 2nd Round Pick
-
Agreed on first day OL...but if we really want Quinn to succeed they will go RB Shonn Greene
-
I would love for us to pick up Shonn Greene in the 2nd.

Damn..my youtube insertion sucked!!
We may need the thread with youtube directions back up...doh!
~Silence is boring! -
I think CB's can be found through FA or in later rounds of the draft. I'd like to see our high draft picks used for LB's and skill players.

Brandon McDonald played safety in college.
McDonald seems to struggle when his back is to the action. Put him at free safety and that wouldn't be much of a problem like it can be at corner.
I think he has the toughness for the position...though he may not be as big as you would want, I think he would do a good job acting as a centerfielder getting to the ball....he has the range.
That's if we go Jenkins in the 1st.
In the second...some of those backer prospects are going to be there if we "have" to go that route if we haven't picked up a FA or two.
To me, the ideal in this round would be to get our center...we will have our pick, and there are 2-3 who are going to be top quality NFL linemen.
I just remember how bad our O-line was...and it isn't getting any better with age and injury creeping up and no real depth to speak of.
Anybody who likes Quinn and thinks he will be a good qb better hope we get back to selecting a day one O-lineman every couple of years.
Thomas is stud...Steinbach is good....Fraley is ok but a guy who once his game leaves him, it will go overnight...no slow decline with that guy....RG....pffft........Tucker...at the end of the line...Shaffer....pretty average.

I agree and most of the mocks that I've seen don't have the first center coming off the board until after the Browns in round 2. I think the one team that could nab the top center in the draft before us is Pooburgh with the last pick in round one. Getting a bad ass center in there to compliment JT and Steinny would solidify our line for years to come.

Bmac would make an ungodly safety Thomas and Steinbach work well together tucker is ok shaffer is nothing but an average backup but fraley is barely even feasable at center imho we need a new center in a really bad way...

You cannot possibly be serious with that. You want 5-10 195lb McDonald playing a saftey position?

watching the shawn greene highlight video i'd be looking at some of them o-lineman more than greene. wow did you see the holes he gets to run through. Id be a little leiry on drafting a guy running through them holes.

I agree 100%. Just another reason this staff and FO has to get creative and find a way to get more draft picks.

McDonald's a great tackler. Bob Sanders is 5'8", Ed Reed is 5'11". Put him next to a bigger guy and I'd be all for a safety who can cover.It's not the height, it's the weight. Both of the guys you mention also have 20 pounds on McDonald.
There is no way the guy could ever play safety in the NFL. Not even on the free side. He's a good tackler for a corner that has a rather slight frame.
You want a safety to be able to cover but he still has to take a pounding as well. He has to be able to lower his shoulders and take on a block and/or a tailback in the open field. Mcdonald, while a good tackler, does it almost exclusively buy ankle tackling. A typical corner.

He also shows good vision and he looks to have the right kind of "game speed" for an NFL running back.
I'm liking this kid more and more as time goes on. What intrigues me most is that he is not afraid to lower his shoulder and deliver a hit and run some people over. It would be nice to see someone in orange and brown doing that in the AFC North.

Most mock's have the browns taking Curry from Wake Forest or Everette Brown from FSU with the number 5 in the first round. Although many fans have a fixation with Malcolm Jenkins and Clay Mathews Jr. (can't blame them, we see a lot of them on tv!) Personally I would like Orakpo from Texas. But this thread is about the important second round pick. I feel if we get a corner in the first round, we should pursue de/olb Michael Johnson from Georgia Tech in the second round. But if we pick an olb in round 1 we should go after CB Macho Harris from Virginia Tech with our second pick. Both Johnson and Harris play with a mean streak and seem to always come up with big plays. What do my fellow Browns fans think?

I like your thinking concerning a 2nd round pick a lot! Harris is a big corner that could actually move up out of our reach in the 2nd round....He should be there but you never know what happens after the combines. I could see scouts falling in love with his size and athleticism at the combines. My guess is that mangini will love the kid.
I'm not crazy about Orakpo though. I haven't seen him that much but he sured disappeared in the OSU game after the first quarter or so.

I'm up for getting Shonn Greene. tons of videos on youtube has convinced me that he can split carries with Harrison

Id be a little leiry on drafting a guy running through them holes.It is always that way with college backs. You've got to look at the way he sets up blocks, separation speed, balance, the way he breaks tackles, and such. Much of the highlights were him making something out of nothing.
Did you see his pad level when he sees contact coming? The way he gets yards after contact? What I have heard about Greene is that you very rarely saw him falling backwards (the specialty of slick Willie Green from a few years back).
Count me in as a member of his fan club.
