how much stronger can one team's defense get?
love hightower.

They have a dire need at middle linebacker. And they become very fortunate in my mock draft.

They have a dire need at middle linebacker.
we have needs at all LBs positions, but all we can talk about is richardson or blackmon. yeah i know those positions we need to but WHY?
why is it so easy for teams like the giants, ravens, steelers and now the 49ers to complete their defense within a couple of years' drafts and continue to build on on it every year while we struggle to put out mediocre product every year with the amount and placing of our draft picks?
i wouldn't mind if we just got a WR and RB with our first 2 picks and went defense the rest of the way. if richardson is so good we shouldn't waste a OL pick. period fill the position with what we've got and draft him next year right behind the QB we'll all be saying we need.
because we ALL know defense wins championships.

Gocong: Emerging is a very solid OLB
Fujita: Solid OLB (pending suspension)
Jackson: ELITE MLB
We draft based on needs. Linebacker is not a need that high in the draft.

Our defense finished the regular season ranked 10th in YPG.
Our offense finished the regular season ranked 29th in YPG.
Conversely, the NYG defense finished the regular season ranked 27th in YPG.
The NYG offense, however, finished the regular season ranked 8th in YPG.
You can't get it done only gaining 280 yards and scoring 13 points per game while giving up over 300 yards and 19 points per game.
The offense has to catch up with the defense.

I respect your admiral attempt to make a point, but you're just as wrong as the poster you quoted.
No way DQwell is ELITE. And, Fujita will probably not be starting this year regardless of any suspension.
LB is a need of ours BUT offense is by far the greater need
And, the phrase "defense wins championships" is quickly becoming outdated in the NFL

Please explain to me how Jackson isn't elite. He would be the #1 linebacker on every team except Chicago, Green Bay, and Baltimore.

I guess it depends on what you consider elite. I'm not ready to put him on a level with Lewis, Matthews, Urlacher, Harrison, etc... He's only played one full season, and played well, but not at a level that I personally would consider elite

I don't see Floyd falling that far
and if he did I think we would try to move up and get him

That's quite possible, but it is pointless to create mock drafts with trades in them.

Well said. I too believe that the need for LBs is as dire as the need for a WR/RB/RT. I suspect that the Browns may have to try to load up on some bodies with all those picks in later rounds to try to find a defensive diamond in the rough.

My view is different. I think we have 2 significantly below average OLBs and one very average MLB.
What was the Browns rank against the run last year?....and who is primarily responsible for containing the run: the LBs.
These guys sucked swampwater.

Because on nearly every play he is either: A. out of position B. getting run over C. getting run around.
Nothing he has done reminds of anything near the likes of a Mike Singletary/Jack Lambert/Ray Nitsche/Dick Butkus/Patrick Willis/Sam Huff/Mike Curtis/Vince Costello/Eddie Johnson...etc. etc. etc. all of whom, yes, I have seen play.

I said he was elite. Blue chip. Not hall of famer. You listed hall of famers. Bad comparison.

OK, true, for some. I also listed good Browns MLBs like Costello and Johnson.
That is one thing the Browns have never had....an elite, almost HOF caliber MLB. They have had a couple Pro Bowlers, like Mike Johnson and Tony Adamle...and Vince Costello. But never an elite one.
And in my mind, DQJ pales in comparison to Mike Johnson who made a couple of Pro Bowls, imo.
