Browns 2nd Round Pick
-
Most mock's have the browns taking Curry from Wake Forest or Everette Brown from FSU with the number 5 in the first round. Although many fans have a fixation with Malcolm Jenkins and Clay Mathews Jr. (can't blame them, we see a lot of them on tv!) Personally I would like Orakpo from Texas. But this thread is about the important second round pick. I feel if we get a corner in the first round, we should pursue de/olb Michael Johnson from Georgia Tech in the second round. But if we pick an olb in round 1 we should go after CB Macho Harris from Virginia Tech with our second pick. Both Johnson and Harris play with a mean streak and seem to always come up with big plays. What do my fellow Browns fans think?
-
Victor "Macho" Harris had a bad Senior Bowl week. He got beat deep a couple times, which only highlighted concerns about his long speed. And though he plays physical, he doesn't really have the size and strength to jam receivers at the line.
Michael Johnson backed out of the Senior Bowl - some say it was because of a shoulder injury, others because "he just didn't feel like playing." He's got tons of potential, but it's hard to say whether he'll ever put it to good use.
-
The second pick I would make, is Sean Smith, Utah CB, 6-3, 214. Hopes to run a sub 4.4 forty at the combine.
Great kid, extremely talented:

Good pick in Smith. I forgot about him. If he runs sub 4.4 at the combine he will be gone in the first round, for sure.

So, what if S. Jones walks as a UFA and Adams walks as a UFA, but we resign Holly, still want a CB in round 2? What are we going to do for a Safety?
What if they decide to release Lewis because of his salary, would RB be a priority in round 2?
MY point is that shound like reasonable choices depending on how the team is set up on draft day and how many picks we have. So, FA will define our "must have" positions - VS - our "need positions" compared to "best available" players on the board.
-
if S. Jones leave to free agency, I'd say go after Roy Williams from Dallas.

Brandon McDonald played safety in college.
McDonald seems to struggle when his back is to the action. Put him at free safety and that wouldn't be much of a problem like it can be at corner.
I think he has the toughness for the position...though he may not be as big as you would want, I think he would do a good job acting as a centerfielder getting to the ball....he has the range.
That's if we go Jenkins in the 1st.
In the second...some of those backer prospects are going to be there if we "have" to go that route if we haven't picked up a FA or two.
To me, the ideal in this round would be to get our center...we will have our pick, and there are 2-3 who are going to be top quality NFL linemen.
I just remember how bad our O-line was...and it isn't getting any better with age and injury creeping up and no real depth to speak of.
Anybody who likes Quinn and thinks he will be a good qb better hope we get back to selecting a day one O-lineman every couple of years.
Thomas is stud...Steinbach is good....Fraley is ok but a guy who once his game leaves him, it will go overnight...no slow decline with that guy....RG....pffft........Tucker...at the end of the line...Shaffer....pretty average.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Agreed on first day OL...but if we really want Quinn to succeed they will go RB Shonn Greene
-
I would love for us to pick up Shonn Greene in the 2nd.

Damn..my youtube insertion sucked!!
We may need the thread with youtube directions back up...doh!
~Silence is boring! -
I think CB's can be found through FA or in later rounds of the draft. I'd like to see our high draft picks used for LB's and skill players.

Thomas is stud...Steinbach is good....Fraley is ok but a guy who once his game leaves him, it will go overnight...no slow decline with that guy....RG....pffft........Tucker...at the end of the line...Shaffer....pretty average.

I agree and most of the mocks that I've seen don't have the first center coming off the board until after the Browns in round 2. I think the one team that could nab the top center in the draft before us is Pooburgh with the last pick in round one. Getting a bad ass center in there to compliment JT and Steinny would solidify our line for years to come.

Bmac would make an ungodly safety Thomas and Steinbach work well together tucker is ok shaffer is nothing but an average backup but fraley is barely even feasable at center imho we need a new center in a really bad way...

You cannot possibly be serious with that. You want 5-10 195lb McDonald playing a saftey position?

watching the shawn greene highlight video i'd be looking at some of them o-lineman more than greene. wow did you see the holes he gets to run through. Id be a little leiry on drafting a guy running through them holes.

I agree 100%. Just another reason this staff and FO has to get creative and find a way to get more draft picks.
