Braylon to Giants Most Likely
-
when will all this shit end, we are trading , we are not trading, my heart cant take it anymore. If Mathias Kiwanuka is in on the trade, then freaking why isnt it done. lets just take 1st,him,5th, gett' er done. that would be an instant upgrade and then we take crabtree at #5. Dear Jesus please make it happen.

It will end on draft day, when ManKok finally reveal their plan. Until then, since NOTHING is coming out of Berea, expect the media to keep making up reports.

Maybe mankok will get rid of bq and da and talk farve or clemens or some other ex jet like namath into quarterbacking the cleveland jets to officially see if we can tie detroit at the 0-16 mark...
This is looking like deju vu all over again..i mean i have nothing against building from scratch but im seeing ex jet players of less than desirable talent flooding in and our best existing players being traded out for draft picks that can and likely will land us less talent then we already have based on manginis previous choices...
We are heading for trouble again folks...hehehehehe
Whats rich have to say about the rumors that are looking like they aint rumors?

It ends the day after the draft.
The new media wants to make news not report it............................................

If Braylon were in this draft he and crabtree would be the top 2 guys.. You don't trade that away for a maybe..we know what Braylon can do and he will be playing for a contract this year.. He will be raring to put up some big numbers.. But I say we re-sign him now..Phil screwed this one up last year to by not re-doing his contract.

It's clear Mangini is hitting the reset button....so...goodbye Braylon. I'm OK with it as long as we rape the Giants for more than he's worth. I think that isn't out of the question since the Giants clearly think they can win it all this year.
However, unless a bunch of Rooks and no-namers step up big this year....we're probably looking at 6-10 at best in 2009. That kinda sucks.

Don't count on it.
I'll always believe.
Is a pig's ass pork? -
Mathias Kiwanuka would be a huge defensive asset.

No one more optimistic than me Riff. I'll go in to September 13th thinking 16-0 until something happens to change my mind. Gonna be a whole new group going for that record though.
Go Browns...always and forever!

I don't think there will be as many new starting faces as you think.
Backfield will stay intact, OL had a face lift on the right side, add a receiver to replace Stallworth, DL stays intact. 2 new LBs, same special teams kickers and return men and a new safety and a nickle back in the defensive backfield. It isn't the tear-it-apart rebuild people think. It's what happens after a 4-12 season but the core players aren't being shipped out and a whole new team coming in. Only trade has been Winslow and a few not so good free agents walked.
The biggest change over will be with the backups and special teams players and they really needed a makeover.
The rest of the rebuilding is in the media's minds.

The Browns new star Wideout, coming soon to a stadium in 2010 near you

What we do is draft hakeem nicks and his teamate brandon Tate...those two guys will be a great tandum

What's interesting is that Nicks didn't really become a focal point of their offense until Tate got hurt.
Tate was wicked good before the injury, but I don't think we can rely on a guy coming back from ACL & MCL tears.
I love Hicks' hands, but it's disconcerting that he only scored an 11 on his Wonderlic and showed up to his pro day 10-15 pounds overweight. He's since dropped the weight, but those signs point to some possible intelligence/motivation issues.

Dez Bryant is just one of five big time receivers that could be available in next year's draft. Seniors Brandon LaFell (LSU) and Marshawn Gilyard (Cincinnati) are lesser versions of Crabtree and Maclin, and the juniors - Bryant, Arrelious Benn (Illinois), and Damian Williams (USC) - all possess great potential.
Receiver, safety, and defensive tackle should be stacked with draft talent next year. Of those three positions, however, I think the latter two are the ones with true elite players: Eric Berry at safety and Ndamukong Suh/Gerald McCoy at d-tackle.
But we probably should get through this year's draft before we start pimping 2010 prospects.

Eric Berry... he is a football player that makes man-love/bromance justifiable.
"Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas".....blah blah blah...... but Tim Tebow shamefully wears Eric Berry pajamas as he weeps himself to sleep every night while thinking about how good Berry is and how Kiffykins will let Berry loose to single-handedly dismantle Florida in this year's game.
Damn, I hope we get a shot at him.
Assuming we don't get curb-stomped this year and are a bit further down in the draft, he is one of the rare players where it actually IS worth it to trade up to get him.
But, I digress.....as you said, we should worry about this year's draft first. It is fun to hope, though.
-
Digress away. Would love to see Berry in a Browns uniform. Then again, I feel the same way about McCoy and Suh. All of them are likely top ten picks next year and will receive higher grades than Aaron Curry, who's arguably the best player in this year's draft.
That's a testament to how weak this draft is at the top.

But this is the kind of thinking I like when it comes to Edwards and this entire rebuilding process.
I think a lot of fans want so badly to win "now" that they get a little short sighted....I'm not blaming them for doing that....We all want to win now. But If you are in charge of any organization, your reponsibilty is not only the immediate well being of the organization but the future as well.
-
There is no WR in this draft that could hold Edwards jock strap when it comes to athletic ability. I really doubt he is getting traded. Who is Quinn/Anderson/Sanchez going to throw to? Steptoe, Rucker, Crabtree? All are going to be virgins on the field except for Steptoe, who is a 4th, maybe 3rd string reciever.
If you want to hit the home run, wait next year for Gilyard, he WILL be a Superstar in the NFL.. Crabtree is going to be a great #3 reciever, solid #2, nobody's Number 1. He is not worth a 5th pick, but would be a great 2nd round pickup. Just because it is an extremely WEAK NFL draft, doesn't mean you should spend a high pick on an average reciever who only gained popularity due to one Special Teams play TD.

I get the argument for keeping Braylon (Cowherd was ripping Cleveland fans this morning for wanting to trade BE because we have no one else to play WR and his argument was, well, we have no one else to play WR) but it just doesn't make sense for our current situation.
We are in Browns Rebuild 4.0 and we need picks and as Pluto quoted the Browns' FO saying "football players", intelligent football guys who want to be true professionals. BE does not fit that profile and given that he is an FA next year and we're not paying him and he's not interested in staying, he's gotta go if we have a decent offer.
Add to that the fact that big-time WRs are inherently hood ornaments for solid teams, not foundational pieces that build teams, and it makes even less sense to keep BE if there's a decent offer.
Which brings us to: there has to be a decent offer. I think the Giants 1 and 3 and a player or lower/future draft pick is reasonable given that the 1 and 3 are both lower picks.
Barring something along those lines, BE is worth keeping to help keep our mystery starting QB alive.
But I'd much rather have a rookie RB and C doing that job instead of BE, if I get a choice.
-
I agree mainly with shep on the needs of those next 4 picks. I would have to think about a safety and another WR though. A WR probably later in the draft you can pick up someone at least halfway decent. But, at safety I think we may take one with one of our 2nd's. It just seems to me, while you might not be able to get a decent feel on WHO we like, you can get a pretty good feel about WHAT we like. We seem to be bringing in every center and safety available.
I would be surprised if after next weekend 2 of these guys weren't Browns.....Mack, Wood, Caldwell, Chung, Moore, Mitchell, Delmas
It just seems like we are really bringing in the centers and safeties. Of course, I really have no idea what the hell the team is doing, so maybe I'm just reading it wrong.
-
Hey the way I see it is our Browns stunk last year, far more than anyone player. Lets give Braylon another shot!
