Good article, but I temper my enthusiasm about the Browns with two key words:
We'll see.

You are right on. At least there is plan in place. Some may not like the moves, but it seems that he definately has a plan worth a wait and see.
The problem with the Browns has been the inability to survive an injury..at ANY position. They have had some decent starters....our offense was littered with all-stars in 2007...but a couple of injuries and suddenly that vaunted offense was nothing but a bunch of scrubs.
Now, look at NE. They get an injury...and the next guy steps in and performs at a level that allows the team to continue to utilize their normal game plan...and in many cases at a high level.
So, instead of building from the top down (all star players as starters but no depth) the Browns have finally decided to address the bottom line...DEPTH. Now, when we get a top notch player...we have a backup to him and can survive an injury.
We may not get much better this year...but by next year we will have 2 drafts worth of new blood and talent that will not only have talent...but depth behind it..giving us the ability to draft for BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE..and not for need.
I like the plan...and hope we have the intelligence as fans (and ownership) to let it work.
By the way...here is what Bilicheck did with his 2000 and 2001 drafts...it may give us some insight as to where we may go:
