Drafting Claiborne Is Not A Long Term Solution

A late round draft pick who plays well will be offered a long term extension for less than premium money.

Rubin got a 3 year (not long term) 27 million (9 mill a year, more than premium for his position) dollar contract, sounds about right to me. If he had been drafted first round he would not be making a penny more than he is on his current contract.

Rubin is making 6.1 , 7.7 , 6.6 million. That's not premium money and corners get paid more than defensive tackles.
A first round pick comes with a sense of entitlement,ego and big time agents = big time dollars.

That is Rubin's guaranteed money, counting his bonus cash, which he reached this year I'm sure, he gets payed on average 9 mill and he is not where near the long term lock up contract like you claimed he should get. Plus I didn't claim he was getting premium money for players period, I said he was making good money for a DT. Plus that entitlement and ego come with the player, not the draft position and big time agents come with the performance. It is not unheard of for a player drafted later to switch agents when it came time to get a bigger contract.
Point is, it doesn't matter where we draft a CB, if he performs at a high level he is going to demand a lot of money regardless of where he is drafted. Now if your argument is that we can't sink more money into the CB position right now, then that would make more sense.

My point is the subjects title, we won't keep both Haden and Claiborne when they are both in their primes so why draft claiborne at 4.

Why ever have more than 1 good CB is what you are saying. Why have any more than the current amount of good players we have now? Regardless of who we draft they will need to be resigned and they will need to be resigned for big money if they are good, so what the hell does it matter. Regardless of who we draft there, if they are good they will demand a lot of money to be resigned, period, regardless of position. Might as well draft another CB since we only have one good one.

Okay then let's draft another corner and in a few years we can add another name to the list of first round draft picks who no longer play for the Browns.

Or do. You can make your same lame ass argument for any position. Your argument should be, lets not draft anyone good period, because it they turn out to be good we can't resign them.

the RG3 cock slobberers are all going to be pissed so get used to the crying now.

I guess no one told Tom Brady that he isn't allowed to ask for first round money because he was a sixth round pick. If Claiborne demands 10 million a year after his rookie contract and we pay it...then we picked an awesome player. I say pick the best player out there(within reason) and you will find a spot for him on the team.
