Browns overall grade "OUTSTANDING"
-
AFC
Cleveland Browns โ No team may have orchestrated trades and acquired more overall value better than the Browns, who traded back three times in the first round before landing their prize, Alex Mack, in front of a team (Vikings) that was considering selecting the draftโs first center. Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi both have starter potential at receiver and could allow for a Braylon Edwards trade. David Veikune is a projected outside linebacker who has a great motor and fits the scheme. Kaluka Maiava could fill a nickel linebacker role. CBs Don Carey and Coye Francies could make the roster. DE Kenyon Coleman and DB Abram Elam, acquired from the Jets for the fifth pick, along with QB Brett Ratliff, could both be starters. Overall, the Browns may come away with six starters from this draft, while also adding character to the locker room and potentially replacing a fifth of the 53-man roster through the draft. GM George Kokinis and head coach Eric Mangini have received a fair share of criticism in their short tenure together, but they may have had the best draft of any AFC team.
Grade: Outstanding
My thoughts exactly .

Mack could have been nabbed by the Vikings... OR
also the Ravens or Steelers or even Altanta I think it was.
If the ratbirds or steelers had nabbed a perennial All-pro at center,
we'd all be sick. It's dramatic improvement at center for the Browns,
and addition by subtraction.. the Browns adding Mack and keeping him from the
ratbirds and steelers - that is priceless.
vs the big NT's of the rats and stinklers - the Browns' Mack will be worth his weight in gold.
The second wr was certainly a surprise, what with other players on the board most of us have talked about,
but when you read up on him and the rest of the picks, it's brilliant and consistent picking of character, fine intelligence
and football smarts, and skill.
Pretty shrewd. And, they couldn't trade down anymore... the ratbirds were only a few picks away.
I love it.

Living here in Pennsylvania, I can say without a doubt, the Steelers definitly had their eyes on Mack...
He was #1 on their draft board.... You should have heard the grumblings when we picked him..
Hey, maybe this is a trend, we've beat them in the draft so lets do it on the field....

I heard that too about the stinkin' Squeelers wanting Mack. I like having a guy called "Mack" plowing up the middle for some reason.
