    Until this draft I did not realize how "close" we were to greatness...

    Especially on offense...

    lol, this is hilarious. Short term, yeah it kinda sucks. Long term, we won this trade. But hey, we traded with the Steelers, therefore we suck.

    If we continue to operate on long term plans, we'll never see success. We are always building for the future when we presently suck.

    For the record, I don't give a shit about this trade. I'm tired of seeing good teams get good players and we continue to take shitty ones.

    SF didn't need a RB, and they take the probably the most talented one in the draft in the 4th round. Meanwhile we reach for an undersized DE when there were still very good ones on the board in the third, and then take a CB from a basketball school who's really done nothing. Then, with a run on safeties happening, we trade out of our spot to a division rival and get no compensation in this draft for it.

    So, as it stands, we still have no starting FS and no capable LG. The ineptitude exhibited so far in this draft is bordering on ridiculous.

    What the hell are we doing. We're a bad team and we've made two picks in the first 140 picks. This is dumb as shit. They better know something about some late gems.

    With the picks in this year's draft we've added

    Mingo - OLB

    Gordon - WR

    Bess - WR

    McFadden - CB

    We aren't going to fill every hole that we have. As such, the most glaring holes are at G and FS.

    We gave up a 4th for a future 3rd. We gave up a 5th for a future 4th.

    We are in good shape.

    And next year we'll give up a 3rd and a 4th for a future 2nd and 3rd, then a 2nd and 3rd for a future 1st and 2nd. And then everyone will be fired and the new regime will come in and trade our two firsts and two seconds for a handful of 4th and 5ths.

    lol, yes, we'll never actually take a pick. Right. But yes, there's a real chance that we get a new regime if Jimmy goes to jail.

    Cant make everyone happy. We didnt trade 3 draft picks to move up 1 spot on rb at #3 we didnt draft a qb in the 1st. Everyone bitched about that last year. We drafted some much needed depth with quality players. We got Bess for nothing and we also have Gordon out of this draft. We are adding 3rd and 4th rounders next year in a draft that is projected to be a shit ton better then this years.

    Yep, we are so used to losing that no matter what the FO does we dont like it. Its a new regime and this is what we have to work with. You are either going to except what they are doing or be a fan that already hates our team before we play a down. Once again, you cant make everyone happy.

    I'm trying to think through this reasonably. I really can't! The perplexing thing is why spend all that money for free agents, giving us all the impression you want to win in 2013, then do almost nothing in the 2013 draft, telling everyone this draft stinks when it apparently doesn't to nearly every team and every expert talking about it.

    What's apparent to me is that Lombardi and Banner are simply writing off the 2013 season and will use all those draft picks next year as bargaining chips to move up and get a franchise QB. But given the fact that the Browns have absolutely nothing at free safety and in the #2 cornerback positions, teams will just throw to receivers going against those inept Browns secondary players -- Browns improved QB pressure or not -- and run up and down the field and the Browns may, in fact, end up with the first pick next year anyhow because all the other teams have improved so much more than the Browns in this damn draft!

    I have never liked Mike Lombardi. That view was reinforced today, a day that started out hopeful for so many Browns fans and has disintegrated into total despair. I doubt Tom Heckert would have traded with the Steelers, and I believe Heckert would have done a better job with this Browns draft than Lombardi did. Rooting for the Browns is nothing more than a tragic comedy, isn't it?
