          Thumbs up

          They have an idea of the type of player and character they want, upside is clearly there and have put trust in their coaches to make it happen.

          A boatload of picks remain for next year, this will be a much better football team in a few years.

            Overall, we addressed a lot of needs. To me, the only pick that was kinda a head scratcher was the Kessler pick, but if Hue says you have to trust me, the by god I will give it a try. I love that we actually drafted wr's, going to make them compete. Favorite pick has to be Scooby! If he pans out and balls out, I can just hear the Stadium for years to comechanting SCOOB, one of those sounds like Boo's, but we know what it means. With drafting 14 players and picking up a sericeable cb in the 7th via trade and also collecting essentially enough picks to have 2 draft in the 1st 3 rounds. I think the FO did a hell of a job, I will give them an "A" or thumbs up for now. Like always though, time will tell if they were right. It dont really matter though, I will root for these mother fuckers until the day I die!!!

                It's a strange draft, but they seem to have a cohesive strategy and I like that.

                Should be a fun season depending on how many of these guys we get to see. Not a winning year, but one that we should hopefully get to witness some real progress and the direction our management wants to go.

                I'm happy overall.

                      Two needs addressed I wanted most, WR, though that was a-z quality, and pressure on the QB where I think we got two good ones.

                      So for a first year of a 5 year process I'm fine with it overall.

                        UP for now. We'll see how it pans out soon.

                        My only complaint is today- we should have drafted both picks on our board, not traded to Oakland.

                              I hate that we passed on some of the players we did. We completely ignored some guys that will be great players in the NFL. Our front office decided to go their own route and said screw what the mass population think. I do like some of the players we drafted, however I think we could have drafted two or three big name guys and still got most of the guys we did. We reached on almost every pick. We drafted a QB in the 3rd who would have been there in the 5th. We drafted a S in the 4th who would have been there in the 6th. At least 5 of these players wont make the final roster. But hey, look at how many picks we had to blow!

                                nor Carolina, look at the names we passed in round 3 before Kessler. But, getting down was the best move for a Kessler pick..

                                    Thumbs up.

                                    At this point I'm going to trust the front office and coaching staff. That's really all you can do at this point. This was totally their draft, so the long term results will speak directly about them. I like the defensive beef secured early on. The plethora of wide outs selected is indicative of the dearth of roster talent at the position, and I'm glad they addressed it. I like the "character" of the players selected - it speaks to the attitude change that the front office is trying to impress upon the organization. This is not a one-year fix, and this draft indicates that the front office understands that, and they have attempted to take the appropriate actions toward that end. I hope the rest of the Browns faithful recognize that this process of undertaking an organizational mindset change (which has, and will continue to, result in current players kicked to the curb that don't get with the program) is not a short one, and will take several seasons to bear positive results. When the Browns make the playoffs we can all look back and point to this draft as the first step that the organization took toward success.
