    ok....FA isn't done by any means, but we do have a clearer vision on what outr needs will be in the coming draft.....also starting to get reports about who the browns are looking at.....

    they are starting to schedule private work outs, which usually means they're pretty interested...

    So, some names now being associated with the Browns are...

    DJ Humphries....OT.....so, he's gotta be a consideration at 19....(private wo scheduled)

    Devante Parker...WR....surprising?.....a possibility at 12 or 19 perhaps....(private work out)

    We also just attended Kentuckys pro day, which basically featured....

    Alvin Dupree and Z'Darius Smith....both top rated DE's....possible options for early and later picks

    And sent a group to the Louisville pro-day to watch....

    John Miller - OG

    James Sample - SS

    Gerod Holliman - FS

    Lorenzo Mauldin - OLB....add Parker to the mix and Louisville has a lot of interesting talent.....Browns could be interested(and apparently are) with anyone of these guys....

    They also sent a coach to northwestern to watch.....

    Ibraham(sp) Campbell - SS.... mid round hitter...

    Gotta say this kind of adds fuel to my inclination they're going for a safety....though I can see us tapping a SS first....going along with the prospect that Desir is the future as Gips back up.....

    They also attended OSU's pro day and had a full contingent of offensive coaches...

    Devin Smith - wr

    Michael Bennett - DT

    Jeff Heuerman - TE

    Evan Spencer - WR

    So, thats what I got now....but, I think, some good insight.....definitely looking at WR - DE - SS - OT

    T

    Humphries in the 1st? No thanks.

    Parker wouldn't bother me so much.

    Dupree? Again, no thanks.

    Z'darius... I just don't understand why he's climbing boards. I saw very little that would make me excited about him as a prospect, especially for Pettine's defense.

        My guess is that Arik Armstead will be available with our second-round pick, and we should take him if he's available.

        First round should still be DT/OL regardless.

        Then we could let Rubin and Taylor go, because they're both terrible.

        WR are shiny hood ornaments not worth drafting.

          They play again next year you know. Are you wagering on Va. Tech to win? It is going to be played in Va.

          I'm a Hokie, born and raised in Virginia and root for the Browns in the NFL. That being said, I think you guys will absolutely demolish us this year. Our offense has sucked balls for years now, how we managed to pull that one off last year is beyond me. I was watching with my fiancee and after the game I told her "barring a National title this is the biggest win I will ever see." It gave me hope we were going to have a good year, then we went straight back to being the same ol' offensively inept Hokies while y'all went on to win the title destroy everybody else and win it all. I do not see us pulling it out at home. Our home field advantage has kinda got to sh-t the last 3 years due to our pitiful play.

            I'll admit that if Shelton is there at 12 you have to take a look, if he is take him and try to make some moves with our surplus DL...if he's gone though I really don't think there's anybody else worthy of that 12 pick. Especially if one of those awesome OLB/DE types is still on the board. There's another guy that they think may slip to the middle of the 1st who can play both DE and OLB besides Beasley, can't think of his name right now but he's basically thought of just as high a prospect as Beasley. We have too many fucking DL and precisely 2 OLB'ers. And Mingo is a cover guy so he's the edge specialist. We absolutely have to address that position early in the draft if, as it appears, we're not gonna do anything in FA there.

                Armstead will not make it past Philly in the first round. Book it!

                  If we get Shelton then we won't be addressing the Dline again until either later rounds or perhaps not at all. Especially when our current 5tech players are more than adequate.
