How about that draft?
-
Even though we will know by tomorrow around 4pm, I was just wondering what position everyone thinks the Browns will receive for the 1st round of the 2011 NFL draft?
I'm pretty optimistic, I'm going to go with 5th pick with the following happening:
-Denver loses San Diego.
-San Fransisco loses to Arizona.
-Buffalo wins/loses doesn't matter for us, either way they will pick before us.
-Cleveland loses to Pittsburgh.
-Houston loses to Jacksonville.
-Cincinnati wins against Baltimore (going out on the limb here, but they did it before).
-Arizona wins against San Fransisco.
-Dallas wins against Philadelphia.
-Detroit keeps the streak alive and wins against Minnesota.
Based these off of the Standings: http://espn.go.com/nfl/standings/_/group/1

your strength of schedule link is no good. Those percentages where based on the 2009 records.

My bad, thanks for the link! So it looks like as of right now we are going to get the 1st round pick of anywhere from the 6th to the 8th.
If Dallas and Houston both win we get the 6th.
If just Dallas or just Houston wins we get the 7th.
And if both Dallas and Houston loses we get the 8th.

Houston just about has it's game won with 3 minutes left! Dallas is losing right now, but they are only down by a touchdown.
-
Dallas and Houston are officially 6-10, below us in the draft. The difference from 8th pick to 6th pick could help us nabb A.J. Green! or a stud DL...
I'm just trying to be optimistic

Man, I hope we don't trade way down to get a left guard or deep snapper. We need a serious impact player, preferably A.J. Green. My gut says Holmgren fires Mangini Monday or soon, moves down the sideline, gives Colt McCoy a full year as a starter, and gives him weapons who can actually get open.

Out of curiosity, how do 1st round WR's usually fair in their first NFL season? I don't mean to be a downer, but I have a feeling we will lose A.J. Green to Cinci at #3, but if we were to get him, would he be able to make a impact from the get go?

The 6th pick is too high for Julio Jones
Agreed, however there's a lot of time ahead and combine might improve his rating and/or another WR.
To be honest, I would rather go for a D-lineman and try to pick up a great WR via free agency, trade or maybe in the later rounds of the draft. We have a solid core of possession WR's but we don't have that speedster/ #1 WR. If we can get a #1 WR via free agency, than I believe it would improve the game of all our possession receiver's (Mohamed Massaquoi, Brian Robiskie, Chaunci Stuckey, Josh Cribbs) by opening up the field for them.

DL, DL, DL, Hows T.O and Ocho Cinco doin in Cincy? Or Dez, Austin and Williams in Dallas? Maybe Moss in Tennessee? If you ain't got the QB it dont matter. Two teams took WR first RD. last year, Denver and Dallas. Both Coaches fired and both teams picking top ten in the draft. Go Browns
-
I don't believe that Cinci will use their first pick on a WR. They have an option on Ocho and I think that they will take it, plus they have a surplus of WR's front the 2009 draft that they like and have been getting more involved in the past weeks. It's a toss up to get Green at 6, and I think if we miss him we TRY (I know alot of you complain when people say we should have moved back, I am just saying if he's not their we try to drop back on the board to pick up picks) or we draft a DE.

76 WR have been picked in the first round
22 have made at least 1 pro bowl
14 have made 2 or more pro bowl

With a pick at #6 I agree, but if AJ is gone it would be sweet if we could pull out a deal where we can move back to like pick 15-20, get Jones or Blackmon, and pick up some more picks.
