    So....In summary.....my take is that in only ONE YEAR, Farmer has successfully updraded almost every single position group....the only exceptions being at QB and OLB.....

    Totally agree and nice post Mudfly.

      Very well done mudfly. And with 10 in this very deep draft this may prove to be an up and coming team for years to come.

        Nice thread idea...

        It's interesting, but not surprising, that your one "loss" area is where the starters haven't changed, but a rotational player was lost with his replacement uncertain... the OLB group.

        On the TE wash... I'd agree. Dray>>>Gray and Cam>>>Housler, but only if Cam is available. Add that the Barn of today is better than the Barn of 2013 and at worst I see wash.

        Will be interesting to revisit this in a week...

          I think the Browns will EXPLODE over the next few years......am I optimistic?....hell yes!

          I know they all wont be great...but the numbers say at least a couple of these young guys will break out with a really big season...

          Who's your pick?

          Mingo?...Gilbert?...Manziel?...Crowell?...West?...Gabriel?...Armonty?...Housler?...Bowie?...Kwan?...Desir?.....Kirksey?....

          My moneys on Mingo, Gilbert and Desir to be the big winners......

          My "prayer pick" is Johnny.......

            I'd love to see it be Bryant. Mingo needs to break out this year or I think he's toast. Desir looked pretty damn solid in limited action.

            Manziel...man, if that guy lives up to the hype from a year ago, we're super-bowl bound in the next couple of years.

              If Mingo breaks out why would we need an edge rusher? 😛

              Breakouts? Need ample field time for that... Crow and Hawk spring to mind first out of the current roster. But a week should add at least one more name.

                great positivity! can you do one of these each day BEFORE the draft? (cuz this is the time where there is nothing really to talk about and fans start scratching each other's eyes out over different opinions of players to be had)

                i think mingo and gilbert become all pros this year.

                  Thats a great point AG.....and another feather in Farmers cap.....

                  Because, somehow, we got all these upgrades without giving up hardly anything....and IN FACT....gained draft picks...

                  So, now, he has a chance to do it again 🙂

                  Ha!....I know I know.......but it'll allow for depth....rotation....waves.....(and "just in case" with the Mingo thing).....😉

                      and then we add already proven youth like Haden, Bitonio & Gipson to the mix.....

                      just saying.....when this group hits 3-5 yrs......KABLAMMO!

                        I think that is fair to say....with the possible exception also of TE.

                        I think the Browns will be addressing the TE position as early as round 2-3......and also the DLine.....and LB.

                        A DL/OLB/TE with those 3 picks in the top 43 would definitely add strength and depth

                        ....that is if they don't go all in and trade them all to move up for Mariota. And that could be the debate in the war room as we speak:

                        "Should we trade #12/19/43 to move up to #2" I think they are asking that question right now.

                          Unless it was a complete bluff, Farmer pretty much answered that question at yesterdays pressy.....with a fairly solid NO..

                            Whatever the Browns do, I'm going to know it was the right, very cool, smar thing to do.

                            White-Beasely-Dupree/Shelton, Shelton/Beasely-Dupree-somebody else, OT....

                            This draft goes great, it will change the dynamics of the Browns

                            like we haven't seen before.

                              On yesterday's Kiper/McShay Mock draft they had the Browns taking Shelton and Andrus Peat and 12 and 19.

                                saw that.

                                i've also seen a bazzillion other mocks on espn/nfl network where we take parker @12 and brown @19.

                                shelton and peat trump that hand everyday.

                                  ******************************************************************

                                  Nice job on the op ! But there are edge rushers aplenty in this draft. Dupree might be there...

                                  Yeah...I really shoulda said 12 or 19....would be oh so happy to take Shelton at 12......as long as they handle business at 19 with a Dupree type....

                                  But Im seeing a lot of folks mocking Shelton....then using 19(and even our 2nd) for OT, OG and WR.....

                                  and completely leaving edge rusher out of the equation........which just makes me itch......bad

                                  I seriously question if I can even survive the next 7 days.......haven't done ANY work for like 3 days.....just sitting here waiting for the commish to officially open the draft.....

                                    I think (and hope) Orchard plays into the Browns plans for 43.

                                      But Im seeing a lot of folks mocking Shelton....then using 19(and even our 2nd) for OT, OG and WR.....and completely leaving edge rusher out of the equation....

                                      ....which just makes me itch......bad

                                        They talked about possible take of Cam Erving at 19 and thought Cam would have been the better pick being universal on the OL..

                                          great positivity! can you do one of these each day BEFORE the draft? (cuz this is the time where there is nothing really to talk about and fans start scratching each other's eyes out over different opinions of players to be had)

                                          i think mingo and gilbert become all pros this year.
