<![CDATA[DA?]]>Just wondering why the hell DA has not been traded yet? I thought he would be the first to go but it was K2. I thought he was definetly gonna be gone by now. So is it nobody wants the guy or something else I'm not seeing?

Fraley was on his downside with the Eagles and was servicable when we brought him in.

He's starting to look a little like Andruzzi out there, he's taking more of a pounding than he's giving.

What we need is a big chunk of beef with a decent head on his shoulders so he can make line adjustments to snap the ball to whoever is going to be playing qb and stuff guys like Hampton and Nagata without having to tie up one of the guards in the process.

I think we could get a guy like that mid round 2 to early 3 that could split reps with Fraley this season and be good to go next season, and if we could give up DA to get a pick on draft day that would allow us to take that kind of guy I'd be all over it.

So who do you guys fits that build the most?

Would it be Max Unger (6'5" 309lbs Oregon), Jonathan Luigs (6'4" 301lbs Arkansas), Eric Wood (6'4" 310lbs Louisville) or maybe Antoine Caldwell (6'3" 309lbs Alabama)?

Unless we get a trade down I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of us getting a guy like Alex Mack (6'4" 311 lbs California) who is probably the crown jem for centers this season.

Given the influx of guys EM has dragged in, do you think center should be our bigger priority than guard this season?

AND

If we could get Wells and Mack in the first off of a trade down would you take a LB in the 2nd and be happy?

Just food for thought.

Yes, I'd be happy, there is some real value with OLBs in the top of round 2. I keep thinking that in one of the first drafts Mangini had with the Jets he took a LT and a center in round one. I could very well see a center taken in round two, but I can also see him taking a SS (even if we get Elam). There is a lot of value with Centers, SS, WR and RBs in round two.

A Beast of a Center? Now there is topic we should be talking about!

As will be obvious whoever gets the start is going to have a bad year due to a poor WR group even if stallworth is around and an aging RB that cant find the existing hole to hit and if the starter gets hurt the backup(if he stays) will also fare poorly unless we beef our WR corps up...

Im a BQ fag but if i were the browns new head coach i still just cannot even entertain the thought of giving bq the start without proving he is the better guy..

DA was supposed to be fine by January.

How about BQ's mangled hand that was so terribly disfigured it made him never throw any TDs and complete only 49% of his short passes?

I heard it's getting better but he cautioned that he still reserves the right to use it as an excuse should he continue to play like Charlie Frye.

bite your tongue! charlie frye is the best 3rd string qb in the league. seriously, think about it. he has the most experience.
