<p>
And at the end of the week, Rodgers should be allowed to stomp on him for 5 minutes.</p>

<p>
The Winslow trade was excellent. Two picks in the second round is dynamite for the Browns.</p>

<p>
Assuming Rodgers is all good and he's our NT...</p>

<p>
Two lb's, a big rb, a new RT/OG and ... in two rounds. And a DE/Future NT in the fouth round.</p>
<p>
Well, if you're going to dream, dream big.</p>

<p>
****************</p>
<p>
 The Browns will draft Brian Orakpo in the first round, assuming they can't trade down...</p>

<p>
 The Browns will trade DA for a second round pick: (I figure Sean Smith cb/s goes in the first round now)</p>

<p>
With our three picks in the second round, </p>

<p>
**** OLB, Mathews or Barwin. Which ever one made it this far. Maybe neither? Barwin is probably the pick.</p>

<p>
**** OT/OG, Jamon Meredith, South Carolina - unless he went in the first round, too...</p>

I seriously hope we draft Jennings, I had us taking him back in February before anyone even knew he existed. He is a freak, give him a NFL RB coach, let him learn under Lewis for a year and the kid is a superstar. He has it all, size, speed, agility, and great hands.</p>

<p>
He's a good player, but I'm not sure he's a fit for our system. Meredith may be best suited for a zone blocking scheme, where his lack of bulk will be less of an issue. Though Meredith weighed in at 304 lbs. at the Combine, he was only 289 lbs. when he showed up at the Shrine Game. And based on what Kokinis said at the Combine, we seem to be looking for big, drive-blocking offensive linemen.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/49813</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/49813</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aloysius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 07 Mar 2009 06:39:55 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to What our draft looks like to me...now on Sat, 07 Mar 2009 06:35:14 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>oldcow1945 <a href="/post/49801">said</a>:</p>

<p>
Those are minor, in the scheme of football.  Sprained and fractured an ankle.  That's not like ripped tendons or muscles.  But notice two different areas.  That's like AP.

Moore is a strong, playmaking satety who can alter the game with his unique of attributes.  He's a forceful run defending safety, who defends well in coverage.  He's fast in pursuit, tracks down ball carriers and brings them down on initial contact.  He anticipates the action well, reads the quarterback, displays a great burst and uses his excellent ball skills.  Chris Steuber, Scouts.Com</p>

<p>
i've read evaluations of moore that say stuff like that, too, but it doesn't at all mesh with what i've seen of him. i watched him in two late-season games, one of which was their bowl game, and all he did was get burned time after time. </p>

<p>
here's a scouting report that i think more accurately represents what kind of player he'll be:</p>

<blockquote>02/18/09 - He exploded onto the scene in 2007, intercepting eight passes and establishing himself as an elite playmaker. He has a history of turning interceptions into touchdowns, with four of his 11 career picks returned for scores. Moore struggled early in the year before picking up his play, but then appeared too stiff for a safety in Senior Bowl workouts and scouts began discussing a possible move to linebacker. - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange, NFL Draft Scout</blockquote>

<p>
it's not that he's without ability, it's just that his late-season pass coverage, especially when teams went right at him, was severely lacking.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/49208</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/49208</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[JewDago]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:22:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to What our draft looks like to me...now on Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:09:51 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Masters <a href="/post/49187">said</a>:</p>They have been minor and never the same thing.
