<![CDATA[Mock Offseason]]>New Management

President of football operations - Mike Holmgren

GM - Tom Heckert

Retained Coaches

HC: Eric Mangini

DC: Rob Ryan

OC: Brian Dabol (Unfortunately I think he stays)

Risigned/Renegotiated

Josh Cribbs

Lawrence Vickers

D. Jackson

Brodney Pool

Phil Dawson

Jerome Harrison

A. Elam

Matt Roth

Trade: QB: Derek Anderson & Pick 5-3 (From TB, K2 trade) For RB: Michael Bush Raiders ( The raiders need a QB and while Derek Anderson really isnโ€™t that good neither is Charlie Frye or Bruce Gradkowski and atleast DA has a big arm which Al Davis will like.)

Free Agents:

QB: Kellen Clemens, New York Jets The Browns decide to part ways with Anderson and they need a backup QB. So why not sign another Jet?

TE: Tony Scheffler, Denver Broncos While Matt More came in and did a good job during the end of the year Schefller is an elite tight end who can block and would immediately upgrade our passing offense which is drastically needed.

RT: Alex Barron, Rams I think we will all agree that the browns need a new right tackle because well St. Clair sucks. Considering a lot of quality tackles are available in free agency the Browns decide to sign Barron instead of spending a pick on a right tackle.

ILB/OLB: Derrick Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs Was benched this year and has had a bad relationship with new coach Tod Haley. Johnson was up for trade during the beginning of the year and should be available in free agency. It would be interesting to see what Rob Ryan could do with his talent.

I don't see the trade with the Raiders for Bush happening. Anderson's salary is too much. So I think any team that is interested (and I do think there will be a team or two that is) can just wait until he's cut and bring his salary in line with backup $$.

Instead of giving up our third, and fifth plus Anderson for Bush, I'd use our first third round pick on Ryan Mathews of Fresno. He's a more powerful RB than what we have and has some explosiveness.

A fact from where??

Say what you want. If I had to stick to drafting players from one conference, it would be SEC players.

That is if you want to win games.

If I was putting together a Jeopardy team, then sure, I would probably have my eye on Ivy league players.

What if they go to the Tennessee School for the Blind?

I hope Cleveland doesn't break the bank for a TE like Scheffler. He's so far from elite it's absurd (I'd rank at least fifteen TEs above him: Gates, Witten, Cooley, Shiancoe, Shockey, Miller, the other Miller, Davis, Clark, Carlson, Celek, Heap, Finley, Boss, and Winslow). I like Moore at TE, believe it or not, if we can pick up one legit WR. And I want it to be one through FA. I'd like to see our biggest FA acquisition at that WR spot. Give me someone with work ethic, experience, and the ability to make defenses take account of him on every play. That's going to open up Moore and the running game, even if we're playing dink-and-dunk in general.

Moore's numbers project out to (at 16 games): 38 catches, 506 yards; Scheffler had 31 for 416 on the season, and never had significantly better numbers. But I'll stop beating that horse.

A guy like Boldin may not want to come to Cleveland, but there are other good WRs out there.

Brandon Marshall. The Bad: He's insane. The Good: 307 catches, 3700 yards, and 23 TDs over the last three years.

Derrick Mason: The Bad: He's 36. The Good: 256 catches, 3100 yards, 17 TDs over the last three.

Boldin: The Bad: Has missed 7 games over the last three; The Good: Averaging 6.3 catches, 75 yards, and .6 TDs per game over the last three.

the obvious pick is marshall...albeit a garden varity sociopath the kid DOES deliver on the field and he can help the Browns win........i don't care if he is not a model citizen

Bush is the best overall RB for the Raiders. Fargas is a better runner when he's healthy, but he's never healthy. I cannot see the Raiders letting him go unless they get something very nice in exchange. Al Davis is stupid, but he loves his athletes.

If those guys are our rookie additions, we'd also need to add a competent veteran who could start immediately, perhaps trading a 5th to the Pats for James Sanders.

No need to be a douchebag. He's just trying to provide some sort of blueprint or guesstimate for the upcoming offseason. Instead of pointing out his failures, why not come up with your own ideas? Or do you just lurk in the background, hating on people's opinions whilst providing none of your own?

I think we can do no wrong with picking either Haden or McClain with our 7 pick.
