I share your thoughts on Wells. He may end up being a GREAT bargain in this draft. We'll see where he goes.

Have you confirmed that an offer has been made? I've heard nothing of talks with his agent.

I also worry about injuries with his extreme strength, but there are 2 I believe can be major busts.....Harvin & E Brown. I could be wrong, & if the Browns draft 'em, I HOPE I'm wrong..................interesting post, but once again, "We'll see".

What makes you think he would want to resign with the Browns. You take a lot for granted, it takes two to sign a contract. If he was willing to resign now this would most likely be a non-issue.

The results haven't been released. And you know this how?

you don't have to worry about that.

You know when the Combine is going to be. You stop jucing two or three months before the combine, piss in the cup, you are good as gold. A guy on Steriods who benches 550lbs isn't going to Stop benching 550lbs because he is on an off cycle for a few months.

Steriod users cycle, on and off, all the time. If they didn't cycle they would destroy their natural balance of hormones, and suffer heart attacks by age 30..., like a lot of professional wrestlers and Steelers do.

No doubt Orakpo is taking steriods, but so is Vernon Gholston, so is Jamal Lewis, so is TO, Ryan Tucker, and probably 80% of the NFL.

Who cares? Its been happening for Decades, let them do what they want. If they don't get caught awesome, if they do, well its news for tomorrow's paper and will blow over. When I'm paying a few hundred bucks for a couple of Browns seats, I want to see the biggest, baddest, fastest athletes I can.

That's a good pick Ytown. I agree.

reminds me of that big tackle Buff. drafted a few yrs ago Mike Williams. Eating #1 Football #2

Bad shape= bad longevity

2/ Orakpo-

nobody can bench 550 by natural means. In other words the dude's used "Hamburger Helper." And lots of it by the looks of him. Juice pigs don't usually have good luck with their ligaments and tendons holding up over time either.

Artificial muscle= bad longevity

And you know this how? Are you a some sort of power lifter? He passed the steroid tests at the combine and is a work out junkie. Why can't guys pound in the weight room without being accused of roiding?

And Clevelandfan4life GREAT prediction.... "Well he could be a bust or he could be a beast!" Thanks nostradamus.

2. Clay III - overhyped, part time WSLB

3. E. Brown - If he is selected by a 3-4 team. Might be a star as a 4-3 DE.

4. Percy Harvin - overhyped situational back

Many around here dont think to highly of lauranitis, He will be playing somewhere for along time as a starter, this guy understands the game.

I had to take my mom to the doctors the other day and caught an 08 SI USC/ OSU showdown issue. Chris Spielman talked about Rey and Little Animal both, said Lauranitis is a smart kid that can qb a defense and is going to be just as, if not more, productive then Rey in the long haul, but just doesn't deliver the same bone jarring hits. Cris also said Lauranitis reminds him of himself, always working harder to improve.

So basically, Cris said both were going to be good ilbs for years, Rey was going to make the big hits and highlight reals, Little Animal would wind up playing a Spielman type career.

The way I look at it, if you're defense is going to be scheme heavy, then you take the smarter guys (NE). If you're going to rely on athleticism and relentless attacking you take the better athletes (Steelers).

agreed. he may be productive but won't live up to the ridiculous hype. or maybe the media has overinflated his value and coaches/staff have him rated lower. regardless i'm not overly impressed. he may be a man among boys in college, but this is the pros. he'll need to completely overhaul a lot of his game.

Andre Smith is another good one. much too soft in his core (his torso, not his character) for my liking--that's vital for tackles.

Beanie Wells

Wells if he can avoid injury will be ok but...

rey rey may prove to be nothing in the nfl but a situational player..

How long can he touch his toes before he has to bend his knees?
