    At this very moment in order from greatest to least:

    Interior OL-we ain't doing shit until we patch up the interior of our o-line. Were not running between the tackles and the middle of the line is going to continue to blow up in our QBs face. This is our single greatest need aside from QB. Without a good group of competent beast men to man the trenches, the Browns are going no where.

    ILB-now that DQ is gone we have a major hole here. We had a need there even with DQ (Robertson is not the answer). We need to sign a veteran tank (spikes please, he is young and a monster against the run, something we need help with) and draft a speedy sideline to sideline type athlete (shazier).

    RB-I put RB this high because without a decent run game were going no where in the AFC North. As stated above, if we fix our number one need at the interior of the o-line then this need becomes easy to fill with a couple bodies. Personally I like Hyde (but im a OSU homer) and a couple others (Storm Johnson, Seastrunk).

    CB-we absolutely need another solid guy opposite Haden and BS is not it. Skrine needs to be designated as a true slot CB. I say we either pick up a mid tier guy from FA or draft a guy in the bottom first or second (prefer drafting a guy, Haden can mold them into a badass then). I like Dennard and Jean-Baptiste.

    WR(slot and no.2): at this point we have no legitimate no.2 and slot receivers. In order to maximize Gordon's production we need to fix this. I would like to pickup a slot in FA and draft our No.2 (I love Evans, would be cool with Watkins/Benjamin/Beckham Jr.).

    Safety(if we lose ward): I really don't get you guys claiming we have such a huge need at free safety. Gipson did not play bad whatsoever, he's a slightly above league average FS who gets the job done. We have much bigger needs provided we keep ward. If we lose him however I agree we will need to out the roof back on our defense because without it were going to get burned over and over like we used to 3+ years ago (god that was horrible).

    Other thoughts: regardless of your feelings about the quarterbacks in this draft, Qb is undeniably our single greatest need and our perpetual Achilles heel. One way or another we need to address this and give ourselves a good insurance policy at the position. This off-season is truely the greatest opportunity we have had in a long time to go from bottom of the barrel to true contenders. We have the appropriate building blocks and solid young talent and one of the best defensive line rotations in the NFL. If we can shore up our weaknesses and have some great coaching the future is bright. Lets just temper our expectations, take off our rose colored glasses, and prepare for some growing pains ahead.

    Dynamite take GunnerGatsky............

    spend lots of money trying to sign S Byrd from Buffalo, get OG Schwartz (brother of our right tackle). use all other money to extend contracts for all our good players next year (haden, mack, cameron, sheard, gordon.....etc), draft smartly and don't screw up, WR, LB and QB with first 3 picks any order.

    also.............. aren't you my best friend????

    Hahaha I may just be. I'm just a roughneck who believes in common sense and logical reasoning. Check your news sites gents the free agency flurry has officially began for the browns. Word is were getting around that were signing donte 'hitner" as well as pursuing 4 others (Byrd and Tate supposedly).
