I like the Little pick. He adds some strength to our weak WR corps.

I am with you! I love this pick. Big guy Athletic and a HUGE upside! Good end up being the next T.O. But hopefully without the attitude. And my prediction that the pick would be the WR was right which makes me happy. Wonder if we will pack a couple picks to get up into the third.

good teams build from those to touch the ball and out...........sorry you got it wrong

Thats why we picked a center in the first round, nobody touches it more.

I don't think we will take Bowers, not because of his injury, but because he is not a prototypical DE for our 4-3. Especially now that we have taken Taylor, I think BOTH of our DE's are going to have to be lighter and faster ends. I look for us to take Reed or Sheard at DE in that first 2nd round pick, or we go DB. Two possible DE's with the second pick in the 2nd would be Acho and Bailey.

Boom called it! Was surprised to see use take him over Brooks Reed but still a very good pick. Sheard was the Big East DPoY.

Every play in his highlight reel his hand is in the ground playing DE.

Paea looks more of a run stuffer, we have that in the middle with Taylor and Rubin and can use Roth in running situations at DE. Gotta get some pass rush off the edge now

I would actually like to see Paea with the first pick in the second round. Good teams are built from the inside out.

Houston has not played with his hand on the ground much, he will not be a very good DE at the pro level. I'd rather put Paea next to Rubin and Taylor, he played DE at times in college.

Some WR/CB will be good value in the end of round2.r

The Browns will take Bowers ! He'll have a fire in him after being passed up in the entire first round. I believe the Pats will take Brooks Reed, I think he's still available...

The pick from Atlanta - the Browns will draft a wr to play in the slot. I think that's Randall Cobb. Or Young or Jernigan.

Titus and Jernigan are burners, Cobb is Mr. Versatile tough guy.

I am praying for Bowers also!

As far as the second pick ... honestly I don't really want a WR in the second. I obviously see the need for one, I just don't think these guys left are legit #1 WR's. I think Green, and Jones were the only 2 true #1's in this draft...and possibly Baldwin. We don't need anymore second WR's or slot guys. I don't see any of the guys left being to much of an improvement over what we have if any improvement.

I would much rather see us grab someone for the right side of the line, LBer or a defensive back.

Schefter already reported that Bowers' knee condition caused his day-one slide, but it sounds like the Browns are willing to take that risk. "I can't see him getting past Cleveland's turn (at 37)," Schefter said on SportsCenter. The Browns are dangerously short on pass rushers. They may roll the dice on Bowers, and hope he can be a contributor for 2-3 years before microfracture.

Who really. Heckert is looking for quick athletic ends, not big run stoppers. Paea does not fit there at all. And also Houston originally played DE in a 4-3, he was moved to OLB when Georgia moved to a 3-4 a 1 year/2 years ago.

My Big Board for tomorrow looks like this:

1. WR Torrey Smith, Maryland

2. WR Leonard Hankerson, Miami (FL)

3. WR Titus Young, Boise State

4. CB Brandon Harris, Miami (FL)

5. WR/KR Randall Cob, Kentucky

6. FS Rahim Moore, UCLA

7. DE/OLB Akeem Ayers, UCLA

8. OT Marcus Gilbert, Florida

9. OT/G Will Rackley, LeHigh

10. DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson

What is on your wishlist tomorrow?

If people who touch the ball stink you will never be better than losing..........................we stink on roster with people who touch the ball.........I thought Holmgren and Heckert understood this.........maybe I hope not they are just another succession of buffoonery pandering the Dawg Pound stupidity

Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia

Aaron Williams CB Texas

Akeem Ayers LB UCLA

Brook Reed LB Arizona

Raheem Moore S UCLA

Torrey Smith WR Maryland

Brandon Harris CB Miami

Titus Young WR Boise

There's my big board in order...I like Bowers alot. I like Dowling and Williams over B.Harris. I think going CB early round 2 is the way to go. You can Never have enough talent in the defensive backfield.

I would really love us to try and trade to get the Pats pick and grab Bowers. He was a top 5 talent. No need to let him slide to a division rival.

I wouldn't- at this point it would cost too much to move up a few slots. Oh well, that third round pick we traded away would have come in really handy about now, but who in their right mind would have thought Bowers would still be on the board in the second round?

And just like the Brady Quinn fiasco, there HAS to be a reason every team with a first round pick passed on the guy yesterday.

Hmmmmm...... Heckert had no problems rolling the dice on injury risks last year (Ward & Hardesty) so maybe that will be the pick, if he's still on the board.

PS- I'm still looking for the Bengals to take a qb- regardless if the Bills take Dalton or not. The Pats and Broncos probably will go BPA on D with their picks, so little chance of Bowers still being there when the Browns pick.

My choices? Houston for DE, and Smith @ wr.
