Private Workouts & Visits

I agree completely. I wouldn't touch this guy.

I can't remember WHO it was saying this guy was gonna test extremely well in Indy BUT he didn't think Johnson had the character to make much of it transferable. I think it was Mayock. Pretty well put!
We can't afford another guy that's not really that passionate about football the day after he signs on the dotted line. I'm guessing we're working SOME guys out to throw off the scent of whom we are really interested in.
Man, our needs are changing by the second. All of a sudden, we're anorexic at Safety and we're not much bulkier at WR - especially with current events impacting things.
You don't win many games when you don't have playmakers in key places.
So now our priorities look to be:
OLB/Pass Rusher
RB
WR
Safety
Right Tackle (Tucker hasn't played a 16 game season for us in how many years? I think Womack got moved to OG on his last team but that could have changed. Both he and Tucker don't have the highest volume of starts over the last few years so I'd hate to put all our marbles into these 2 guys)
I like JD's idea of the tradedown if we're going grocery shopping hungry. We gotta bulk up alot of key areas in a hurry or we're gonna stay stuck on pause looking like a 4-5 win team. More picks and I'd like to stop saying I MISS Clay Matthews if ya know what I mean. LOVE the new one!!!
In addition, we don't the soap opera confusion of 2 QBs this franchise can't decide on any longer. Make a decision with the understanding ONLY 1 guy plays at time so the exchange value filling other holes in the roster is vitally important.

Where is this being reported? If you could provide a link, it'd be much appreciated.

According to Doug Farrar of Scout.com, the Browns have worked out safety Louis Delmas. And East Coast Sports News claims the Browns have worked out Utah CB Brice McCain.
So far, I've seen us linked to the following names:
- Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
- Brian Orakpo, DE-OLB, Texas
- James Laurinaitis, LB, OSU
- Michael Johnson, DE-OLB, Georgia Tech
- Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan
- Asher Allen, CB, Georgia
- Brice McCain, CB-KR, Utah

[Georgia] Cornerback Asher Allen had a solid day yesterday. He ran his forty's in the mid 4.4-second area and looked good in position drills. Allen will workout for the Cleveland Browns today.
According to nfldraftscout, Allen is expected to be a late 2nd/early 3rd round pick.

NFL | Multiple teams showing interest in C. Matthews
Sat, 21 Mar 2009 04:28:26 -0700
Southern California LB Clay Matthews said he will visit the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins prior to his school's Pro Day. Matthews will also meet with the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns following his Pro Day workout.

When you play in a hard-nosed division like the AFC North, a division that’s known for it’s rushing attacks, adding physical, athletic lineman up front is critical. So, it’s no surprise that three of the four teams in the division are after the same interior force. A source told Scout.com that the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns will entertain Louisville C Eric Wood over the next few weeks.
Steelers offensive line coach Larry Zierlein will fly to Louisville and conduct a private workout with Wood on April 6th, the Bengals will host Wood at their facility on April 14th and the Browns will do the same on April 15th.

According to Scout.com, the Browns worked out Illinois CB Vontae Davis last Friday.
-
According to TFY Draft, the Browns have workouts scheduled with two Oklahoma products: offensive tackle Phil Loadholt and center Jon Cooper.

Thanks for the updates and it's also interesting the the only 2 offensive guys brought in are 2 OL and no RB WR or QB.

Good point. I suspect RB may not be much of a priority. In New York, Mangini saw Thomas Jones' production drastically improve after he beefed up the OL. He might think he can do the same with JLew: Jamal's YPC in '08 (3.6) is the same as the one Thomas Jones registered in '07.
As for receiver, I expect we'll hear some names in the near future. The Browns reportedly interviewed a ton of receivers at the Combine, and the Stallworth craziness makes it even more of a need.

According to Scout.com, the Browns have already worked out UCF corner Joe Burnett.
Also, Cal center Alex Mack is coming in for a draft visit.

TENNESSEE CORNERBACK MAKING HIS NFL BID
Posted by Aaron Wilson on March 23, 2009, 11:38 a.m.
University of Tennessee cornerback DeAngelo Willingham has been drawing increased interest from NFL scouts and has official visits scheduled with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams, according to a league source.
Willingham has also had private workouts with the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and the Miami Dolphins.
At 5-foot-11, 217 pounds, he’s also being scouted as a free safety.
At his Pro Day, Willingham ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds, bench pressed 225 pounds 20 times and registered a 36 1/2 inch vertical leap and a 10-7 broad jump.
The junior college transfer recorded 42 tackles and three interceptions last season.

According to Scout.com, the Browns will be working out West Virginia QB-WR Pat White and Utah CB-S Sean Smith.

It's not a secret that Wake Forest University's Aaron Curry is the top rated player on most NFL team's draft boards and the outside linebacker is starting to make his pre-draft visits.
Curry has already visited the Detroit Lions and a league source told Scout.com that Curry has visits also scheduled with the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Kansas City Chiefs.

According to Scout.com, the Browns worked out Illinois CB Vontae Davis last Friday.These are the moves that lead me to believe we think there is a good chance we will be moving or picking up some extra picks. Davis is nowhere near the #5 pick and is nowhere near our pick in the 2nd.
He is a late teens-mdi-twenties selection.
Trading Quinn would probably involve us sending Quinn and our pick at #5 overall to Denver, and both Denver and NY shipping us their first rounders which off the top of my head are at #12 ans #17...since we would be trading a bit to much, we will probably get a 2nd or 3rd from NY to equalize the deal.
Denver gets Quinn and a high first rounder for Cutler......fair
We lose ground but end up with two first rounders and say a 2nd for Quinn.....fair(net gain of a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder)
NY gets Cutler for a 1st and a 2nd...they may have to give up another pick somewhere...possibly next year....probably to Denver...I don't think we would be owed more.....but that high 1st pick is worth a good deal.....maybe we would get a pick next year.
Yep...that sounds better.

I think Grossi reported recently that the Browns want to trade down. We may be interested in Cutler, but I think working out guys like Davis is just due diligence in case somebody offers us a boatload of picks in exchange for the privilege of drafting Michael Crabtree or one of the QB's.
And not to make this another Cutler thread, but I thought this article/post was interesting:
