Browns have a ton of picks to deal with and could definitely use a compliment to TJ. The Bills may ask for too much though. Let's see what happens.

Well, what I suspect is that the Browns will fill a few positions of need, and a number of positions where depth is needed in next year's draft.

Other than moving up to get a franchise QB...and using those picks to do that, what else are those picks for...acquiring needed deep talent.

That is the only way to win in the NFL now....have enough good players so that when someone gets hurt and goes down that we have decent quality backups to move right in.

Quite frankly, that is what is happening on our defensive line...Sheard and Winn are hurt right now, and Mingo et al step up.

And even the QB situation....Weeden gets hurt, Hoyer steps in. Hoyer gets hurt, Weeden steps back in. I mean, we could have been like the Bills and put in a guy that was totally in over his head. With Weeden going back in we didn't have that.

We had hoped to have that same depth on the Oline....but I am not sure we did. Cousins played so poor we were happy when Lauvao came back. (who a lot of people were not unhappy to see replaced....careful what you ask for)

Horton's a LeBeau disciple though...

He doesn't give up big plays in the passing game, miss tackles, and is showing some ball-hawking skills.

Disciples rarely have the same success. Ask anyone who's been picking off the Belichick tree lately.

I have no qualms about our defense as it stands today. But without Horton, I think we may need a playmaker or two.

Definitely not Byrd. But a good rookie MLB or #2 CB couldn't hurt.

The front office saved us two huge draft/ free agency strokes .... They both look great.

We need a ballhawk to really put our defense over the top, I don't get the whole being content because our defense is good. If we can improve at a reasonable cost we should definitely do it.

That's just it- Byrd won't come at "a reasonable cost". Folks around here miss Bills fans lamenting his atttitude concerning his foot owie?

I get confused with American slang - I though 'a minute' meant a really long time? Like, "I've been trying to get a better job for a minute" - so, you'd take him, but next year?

With two healthy feet? Don't get it.

Tell me we can add a RB with some speed, a CB with some size, a right-side blocker, or another WR, I'm in. Don't get the safety fixation. Right now, the DBs are a strength and Bademosi can't even get on the field.

He was being a little bitch, when the coaches basically said he could play, he didn't. He was whining saying he's only going to play when he's 100% - we don't need that kind of pussy on this team.

Seriously guys Byrd is a great safety but why waste all of that cap when Gipson has played very well? Byrd is a top 5 safety in the league so is tj ward. We don't need two! Gipson has played great. If you want to trade for something lets get a QB who can read a defense. There's plenty of backup qbs that could be had for the right price and lead this team to the playoffs. Under weeden I just don't have faith we can beat a good team.

This.

The deal could easily be contingent on Byrd signing a long term deal here. The Bucs did the same with Revis. If he won't sign a longer contract, the deal is off. Happens all the time.
