Same ole stuff

[letsgojackets]

Not reading that shit. Wah wah cry cry blah blah blah. If you were so fuckin' smart maybe you'd be running shit, but you're not. So shut up and read for a bit. Hell of a job Browns!

The real beauty of this draft is we just completed the foundation of a really great team. If the QB works out well now that JM has rehabed then that's icing on the cake. We at least get to see a full year of what he might become. But if it doesn't work at all, we get a very high pick to find that really great QB to go with a team that is built and a year into fine tuning. I see that as a win-win regardless of how 2015 goes.

Julio Jones has really helped the Falcons win lots of games. Oh wait...

Rich is just a contrarian, but a good guy.

He just doesn't get controlling the los.

Meanwhile, I just saw on the NFL channel, they had

a poll, and it was "who won the draft" and the contestants

were the Browns, Bucs, Titans, Rams, and Jets.

The Browns won. No kiddin.

I don't understand how one could be disappointed in this draft.

Not trying to be an asshole (I hardly have to "try"). I just actually don't understand how you can look at what the team did and complain about it.

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

My biggest complaint is not landing Petty.

The rest, I'm rather happy with. Especially Orchard, Johnson, and Ekpre-Olomu - those are great value picks.

Raising the floor is never a bad thing.

Its all speculation until they start playing for real.

Well said Couch!

I found that a little surprising too at least in terms of where we could have landed him before round 4. That said, I liked the throwback approach to building the offense on the Lake. I think they've set up a much easier offense to QB. Aside from that, Pettine said he hasn't given up on our 2014 1st round QB in a world where it's important for a HC to keep the trust of his players. The other part of that is if the Manziel choice came straight from our owner - it's even easier to stick to the plans of strengthening the running game and our defense at defending the running game.

I hate ringing the same bell over and over.....

But, the best receiver in the league since 07 has never won a playoff game.

The best RB in the game since '07 has one playoff victory.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the coin, the best receiver for the Super Bowl champions was a 7th round pick out of Kent State.

The problem since '99 has nothing to do with the positions of players drafted but instead with the quality of players drafted. To be fair you can't play the "same ol' Browns" card until this draft class proves they're not viable NFL talent.

Talk to me in three years.

Most don't understand the best ways to insure continuity for success is either by having an elite QB or elite players in the trenches. Since this team doesn't have the former, the smart moves are to not pretend that we do and build up the latter. It's brilliant draft strategy executed very well by Farmer. Since the lack of understanding, many assume if you don't get the flashy picks, you're not doing well. Which couldn't be further from the truth.

The other thing most people (Browns fans) fail to realize that having a weapon at TE or WR is NOT a QB's best friend. Having a good offensive line is.

Rich likes dicks in his holes.

[TexasAg1969]

My agenda for this Browns draft was fully met. *

1. Help on both lines/build inside out

2. A pass rusher who can also tackle RB's

3. A ST return man (the fact he is also an excellent RB with real hands is just icing on the cake)

4. Some real value picks in late rounds (Ifo/Pullard)

5. No reaches, especially the elusive QB reach that so many Browns teams in the past have done at the expense of their overall draft.

Next year we can go for the "divas"

*but damn I sure think Lockett is gonna prove out to be a steal for Seattle

Since Belichick and the gone years we the Browns keep doing dumb. Cannot figure out why the same losing strategy just keeps on going and going and going.

This team and it's fans still think the loser now mantra of defense wins championships and it starts in the trenches wins

WELL IT HAS BEEN A LOSING STRATEGY NOW FOR !6 YEARS AND WE ARE AT IT AGAIN

Sad draft...........we have not a single player who is a playmaker that scores points so another year of getting our ass kicked is another ho hum more dumbness

Cannot be more disappointed is NOT PICKING A SINGLE GAME STRETCHER PLAYMAKER

Duke Johnson could be a bigger version of Greg Pruitt/Eric Metcalf. Isn't that playmaker sufficient for you?

Besides Brady Quinn was supposed to be Tom Brady Jr., then Brandon Weeden was supposed to be Eli Manning Jr., and Manziel was supposed to be Russell Wilson Jr. And Trent Richardson was supposed to be Adrian Peterson.

So, you see Rich....the Browns did it your way.....and FUCKED it up royal. So now lets see what they can do. One of their best playmakers in history was a 13th round choice.....maybe that will happen again.

Same ol stuff huh. Kinda like last year when we improved from a four win team to something that resembled a football team

But we didn't have a shiny new receiver or quarterback to do it...therefore the Browns are stupid. Everybody knows this.
