    I predict:

    1. That the Browns will either draft Blackmon... (unlikely that he'll be there..?), or they will sign one of these guys:

    Pierre Garcon, WR, Indianapolis ColtsGarcon is the youngest of the three Colts receivers due to hit free agency. He may also be the most talented. Garcon will be 26 next season and will intrigue a bunch of teams if the Colts decide to go in a different direction.

    Robert Meachem, New Orleans SaintsMeachem may look to bolt New Orleans for more consistent targets. In an offense that sprays the ball around, Meachem has become a luxury that they may wish not to afford. Meachem is looking a pretty moderate payday but it may come elsewhere.

    Mario Manningham, New York GiantsThe trio of Manningham, Hakeem Nicks, and Victor Cruz is becoming one of the best in the NFL. Suddenly, Eli Manning has a wealth of receivers which may intrigue the Giants enough to pay Manningham.

    2. The Browns will sign a FA right tackle - there will be about 25 of them available in FA. Heckert has plans to spend bigtime on FA's this coming year.

    3. I believe the Browns a lb and a cb, and de with their first three picks with cb and de 2 and 3. The only wr the Browns need in the first - is Blackmon, and he may be gone.

    But my mock draft will probably be different - .I want them to draft the big OT - all 348 lbs of him. He can play OG and back up both tackle positions for a

    couple of years. He will also be a huge part of special teams lines on field goals and extra points, and a huge asset to goal line scoring opportunities.

    4. Because they drafted excellently again, the Browns will go to the playoffs next year. Okay, so I'll always be a homer. Build a bridge if that gives anybody some angst. πŸ™„

      Living in Indy, i think Garcon is over rated and has benefited mostly from great qb play. I dont think he would help us much.

        Most likely will goto the stadium for the predraft party again next year, if the browns trade down again and skip on a top level WR i might just slap every fucking HOF signing autographs in there, then security, and all the fans cheering about how we will dominate the 2013 draft... i might go insane next year.

          We will draft a RT with our first pick and a long snapper with our second 1st rounder.

          In FA we will sign another 32 year old has-been and the circle of life will continue for Browns fans. Hard for me to be excited about next year at all.

              IF the Browns pick 4th Blackmon may still be available. Luck 1, Richardson - Barkley 2, 3 ? With all the Browns picks this year what would it take to move up a spot? If RGIII comes out that will change things. How about the Browns take RGIII then R. Floyd from ND in the 1st or move for Blackmon then take Kalil with the 2nd first rounder.

              Steinbach will be back. Thomas, Kalil. Sign Garcon.

                I've watched only a little of Garcon and Manningham and I've seen a lot of drops from them. We don't need more guys who can't catch the ball.

                    Almost every draft ive seen has the Browns taking Richardson and Floyd, if RG3 fell to us id consider taking him but i dont think he makes it outta the top 5 and will surpass Barkley.

                    Blackmon will be nice but if the Jags pick ahead us they will take him, and the Rams would most certanily look that way as well as Kahili..Dont forget the Panthers ethier they need some help for Cam and Steve Smith is getting up there..

                    Ive been seeing alot of Mock drafts that have Ryan Broyles falling outta the top 3 rounds and if we could land him we could have a Steal...I think he was the second best Reciever behind Blackmon before he got hurt,Hes kinda in that Desean Jackson/Jeremy Maclin (better hands) Mold that Heckert seems to like as well...Dont take Alshon Jeffery ethier hes overweight and cant get seperation on his routes he hasnt had one 100 yard receving game this year.

                      Nah, I think the pugnacious picalilly hates me by now. LOL

                      I'm not sold on Floyd. He doesn't have the burner speed. Yeah, neither did Jerry Rice.

                      I'd much rather get a burner, and there aren't many in this draft of any size, cept Blackmon, and a few others

                      a good bit later in the draft for whatever reasons...

                      Meachem is my pick, if I had one, for wr. I just don't see any other blue chip wr in the draft, besides Blackmon. RG3 is

                      seriously intriguing for a qb - but he wouldn't be an immediate impact player. Broyles is short - I want a taller wr.

                      The Browns don't have the luxury of drafting RG3 to let him sit for a year and learn the offense, as much as that would be cool.

                      Still too many major needs outside of qb. This draft is going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch - and the Browns fo knows football,

                      like I won't have to question their choices again. We'll see....

                        I'm not sold on Floyd because he's a major character risk. Blackmon will almost certainly go to the Rams.

                        Folks aren't going to like it- but if Blackmon is gone, look for the Browns to try and trade down. Walter's Mock said the Browns have huge holes at LG and RT that have to be addressed, and I agree. Someone better than Jaymie Mitchell at DE wouldn't be a bad idea either. in a 4-3 alignment the D Line is supposed to put pressure on the qb, and other than Sheard, it's not happening.

                          OK, assuming they are in the 5-10 range at the end of the season, how far down would you care for them to go.....and in exchange for what?

                          Should they do what they did last year and go from say 8 to 20 and pick up another 1st round pick the following year, and maybe another #2 this year? That would give them 2 picks in the 20s, plus another lower pick in the second round. Let's say they end up with 4 picks in the top 60 this year, plus another #1 for next year.

                          Would you go for that? I might. This team desperately needs depth.

                            I really don't like trading down unless they receive alot. I can't see them doing it this year. Maybe.... If it's a small move of less than 5 spots for a 2nd this I'd say ok but not a deal like 2010. Too much of a drop. They need an impact player and chances are that would come with a top 10 pick.

                                  Here's what we should do.....distribute all our draft picks evenly among Pittsburg, Cincy, and Baltimore.....just give them away with one codition. They have to take the player we would have taken with each pick. This will set their teams back, maybe enough where we will be more competitive with them. If we can get them to repeat this for 5 consecutive drafts, we should be a lock to win the division. This is my 5 year plan.....I like it a hell, of alot more than Holmgren's.

They have to take the player we would have taken with each pick. This will set their teams back, maybe enough where we will be more competitive with them. If we can get them to repeat this for 5 consecutive drafts, we should be a lock to win the division. This is my 5 year plan.....I like it a hell, of alot more than Holmgren's.

                                    Now that's thinking outside the box. But it will only work if the owners agree to also wear ascots to soccer games and never watch football again.

                                          The Browns did in 2010. They signed Scott Fujita, Ben Watson, Tony Pashos, and Jake Delhomme. Pashos and Delhomme were obvious mistakes, but H and H have shown that they can spend money in free agency. This season, whether you guys like it or not, was a rebuilding year. We changed to the WCO and the 4-3 defense all with completely new coaches and a limited off-season. We got rid of all the older players and have a very young team. I would be surprised if the Browns don't go after a free agent WR, LB, and OL for next year.
