Trade Down
-
I believe in Colt McCoy.
Cleveland is certainly DUE to have a breakout season. The pendulum's momentum has changed and we are headed in the right direction. This is the year to Believe fellow Brownies!
With a few KEY pieces the Browns go from 4-12 to 11+ wins overnight. Trent Richardson, Stephen Hill, Kevin Z, Chase Minnifield, Vontaze Burfict. This is not asking too much nor is it impossible to pull off. I think that these selections a very reasonable and not only are they great players that will infuse our team with talent but they are also filling key needs on our team. I firmly believe that these players represent the map that will lead us out of the desert and into the promised land!
So let me know what you guys think about these players and the order of selection. I have us taking these guys without having to trade any picks or pull off any miracles. These would be the first five picks that Cleveland takes in this years draft.
Glad you believe in McCoy. H&H don't- or they wouldn't have been in the discussion for giving up a boatload of picks for RGIII. Walter's has us taking Tannehill at #4 now! So give it up on Colt.
Being "due" has nothing to "do" with it. Cubs fans have been over-due for a hundred years or so. Hopefully Browns fans won't have to wait that long.
Regarding the #4 pick, I'll take Blackmon or Claiborne over Richardson. After that it's highest player rated on your board at position of need. How do I rank need? 1) WR, 2) RT, 3) RB, 4)CB. If H&H truly believe Colt will lead the Browns to another 4-12 season, they'll take a chance and reach for a qb in some round.
I wouldn't touch Burfict with a 10 foot pole. Burfict Bombs Pro Day too!
Minnifield would be fine in the third round, assuming we don't draft Claiborne.

Cubs fans aren't over-due. That's what they get for not allowing a goat into the "friendly confines." Also I've never found Wrigley to be very friendly. Granted I've always rocked my Cardinals gear so that might be why.

unless we get a first next year...or both the rams 2nds this year i'm not sure if we would do it...
First next year and a third we would be willing to move out of the top 10
I could see us trading up to 8th if we package the deal with the clause that if we don't get Trent we need another 2nd round pick
So, if we make the trade with the rams from #4 to #6 and get Trent we would get their #33 if we move to #6 and Trent isn't available we also get their #39
You have 3 immediate impact player Luck, Kalil, Richardson 3 99% starters Claiborne, RG3, blackmon(i understand they will all start game one, but could they replace and top ten position player right away and be as successful.
So, with that said moving up just one notch could have a major impact on our team...other teams not so much.
if we stay put ...we could probably get 1st Richardson, 1stFloyd/Hill 2ndWright/Alshon 3rd Bergstrom 3rd Turbin(both our 4ths and next year 6th) I know Chase is out there but he really is not that good...watching that Miami game he looked like a little kid out there getting eaten alive by streeter and Benjamin...on multiple plays he just got leveled...if he drops to the late 4th and we have patched up the o-line with our 2nd 4th round pick I wouldnt be upset with the pick.
I think we could get a steal in the 5th or 6th picking up boykin, janzen jackson, Sensabaugh or even a trumaine johnson though so i would hate to waste a pick on chase when i can see us getting a much better prospect late.
So if everything went our way our new Browns would be
Richardson
Floyd
Alshon
Bergstrom
Turbin
J. Jackson
T. Johnson
pretty sure we would be 8+ wins next year

I know we are desperate for play makers on offense but picking a RB that high hasn't worked in a very long time. You can find guys later for sure. I am not sold on picking Blackmon either. He isn't megatron, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald. He isn't that tall. He wasn't a factor in the vertical game. He averaged 12 ypc this season. Those are possession receiver numbers. AJ averaged 22 ypc his last year. Fitz 18.2 Megatron 16 in a rushing offense. Blackmon is a Crabtree kind of receiver. If you take a WR that high he has to be able to hit the homerun more consistently. Don't get it me wrong I think he is a great talent, but not worth the number 4. This year is deep in WR's but it doesn't have a giant like some of the previous years. I still think the pick should be Claiborne, its safer he is head and shoulders above the other corners this year and it is a passing league. Pair him with Haden and you might have the best tandem in the league.

Claiborne would be a solid pick. If we have no intentions on picking Blackmon and Trent, then we should trade with the Rams if they want number 4, however after the shananagains with Holmgren talking about the Griffin deal that the Rams hosed us because if the Shannahan ties, then we sure as hell wont trade them. So that leaves the Bucks or drop to 7, then we for sure will be Shit on with no weapons again, and will take Tannehill.

The Rams won't come calling to trade up.
If the Browns don't pick Richardson, the Rams gladly will. He is by far the best at his position in this draft, sick-sick player.
Same with Claiborne.
Fisher is a run first coach and play defense.
The Rams are very happy at #6.
