In 2007 he sprained and ankle and missed 5 games. They also found out he had a small fracture in the the same ankle.
His Freshman year he missed half the season due to a serious shoulder injury.

I'm not sure I'd call either minor.

Those are minor, in the scheme of football. Sprained and fractured an ankle. That's not like ripped tendons or muscles. But notice two different areas. That's like AP. This guy is not an injury risk, any more than any other LB.

In '07, Cushing strained his hamstring, had his left knee scoped, and sprained his ankle twice. He had to have the ankle scoped after the season.

Durability is a concern with him.

Here's a nice clip on Jamon Meredith:

Everette Brown, DE/OLB, Florida State

NICE FIND< AL ! I keep flappin my jaws about Meredith. I think if he's there for the Browns at the top of the second,

you'd have to take him. He could be our new starter RT and we'd have bookend tackles.

I just think Jamon would be an outstanding draft pick in the second for the Browns.

I wonder if Everette was having his school work done for him? It would be intersting to see how widespread it was on the FSU football team.

They got hammered pretty hard by the NCAA.

Don't know about that, but I was pretty surprised to hear Brown say he'd prefer to play in a 4-3 at the next level. He seems like a good kid, but that's not a smart move, especially when his lack of height is going to scare away some 4-3 teams.

He's a good player, but I'm not sure he's a fit for our system. Meredith may be best suited for a zone blocking scheme, where his lack of bulk will be less of an issue. Though Meredith weighed in at 304 lbs. at the Combine, he was only 289 lbs. when he showed up at the Shrine Game. And based on what Kokinis said at the Combine, we seem to be looking for big, drive-blocking offensive linemen.

Look guys we have Nick Sorenson( special teamer) and Brodney pool on the roster at safety...that's it! If we don't resign Jones or Adams or pick up a fa safety....those second rounder could both be safeties

Adams resigned and I am not at all worried about losing Jones. We can get a good one in the draft like Moore or Chung

I think it is a waste of time to speculate on a mock draft for us until after the 15th when DA gets his bonus. We must see what happens then... Even then, I believe it will be a waste of time to speculate or try to mock draft the Browns because .. I can see draft day wheeling and dealing from this regime.. trade downs, trade ups.. Especially if DA gets moved and we have an abundance of picks.

.....And with more and more teams looking for 3-4 DE's and rush LB's.

According to TFY Draft, Jamon Meredith is the #1 ranked guard on the Browns' draft board. He reportedly looked terrific in position drills at his pro day, displaying great footwork and movement skills.

And on your earlier comment about possibly being too light.....he can gain weight....everybody can.

He is already strong as a ox...the only difference between him and some bigger guy is bulk....as in triple fudge milkshakes

calfoxwc

The Browns not having a RG who can pull, and a RT who gets bullrushed AND spun like a top... makes the defense's

job way too easy.

I really like Meredith, he'd be a terrific pick for the Browns in the second round.

Thats my boy!

I seriously hope we draft Jennings, I had us taking him back in February before anyone even knew he existed. He is a freak, give him a NFL RB coach, let him learn under Lewis for a year and the kid is a superstar. He has it all, size, speed, agility, and great hands.

Thats another thing about Jennings, send him on a route and he will bring havoc

Seems like a good kid too

03/02/09 - 2009 ALL-RANG'S GANG: Running Back: Rashad Jennings, Liberty: The fact that Jennings transferred from Pittsburgh to tiny Liberty to be closer to his family during his father's bout with diabetes is reason enough to acknowledge Jennings here.
