@pavel2881 said: Dynamite take GunnerGatsky............ spend lots of money trying to sign S Byrd from Buffalo, get OG Schwartz (brother of our right tackle). use all other money to extend contracts for all our good players next year (haden, mack, cameron, sheard, gordon.....etc), draft smartly and don't screw up, WR, LB and QB with first 3 picks any order. also.............. aren't you my best friend???? Doc PB Hahaha I may just be. I'm just a roughneck who believes in common sense and logical reasoning. Check your news sites gents the free agency flurry has officially began for the browns. Word is were getting around that were signing donte 'hitner" as well as pursuing 4 others (Byrd and Tate supposedly).

@mld-woody said:Gays should be treated like everyone else without having to hide who they are... That's one reason many people are annoyed with homosexuals and it doesn't have anything to do with their sexuality. "Hey look at me, and if you dissapprove shame on you" Any race,sexuality,religion,nationality that throws their beliefs,values,opinions..whatever.. in your face and dares you to dissapprove generates contempt where there wouldn't be any in the first place if they'd just stfu. And it's not a racist,anti-gay,anti-whatever thing it's an anti give me self pity thing,anti-hey look at me thing. It's like this guy that is on the local sports morning show sometimes that advertises himself as the "gay football analyst" wtf??? Imagine if there were a black guy that promoted himself as "the black analayst" and don't be fooled he's not doing it for any other reason to exploit the pc culture.

fuggin JF knob slobberers.

@jeffinwv said:so you would willingly shower with a gay guy? News flash: showering with 51 men, regardless of their sexual orientation, is hardly "straight". You act like it would be two people alone in a personal shower. Get over it already. It's happening.

@jeffinwv said:that guys a heck of a piano player...I attempt to play..i have two keyboards here..but I play guitar primarily.but I like that guy..if im in that sorto mood when your an insomniac like me and you start staring at the 3rd run of walking dead midseason repeat season premier ya kinda get in that light a candle and wait for a jumper comin off the top of the building type of mood. death ballads. @westside-steve said: I thought the lyrics were a little clumsy and the performance workman like. WSS he definitely progressed from his work in his first band. he's a british version IMO of like a tom waits or tj burnett. sad taxi cab coffee clatch material. great lyrics though.

@stewy said: Yet they decided to hold 2014 Gay Games in Cleveland. Hopefully you'll get national attention that you can be proud of this time! lol Hey, it brings a lot of money in.....and the decor around here will be a lot better after they are gone....fair to say? The other thing it has done is to cause a lot of upgrades to sports facilities to occur...and that is always good.

@thenew23 said:Our defense might just be an offense away from being finished... We could have 11 top 5 picks on the defense, but if the offense can't convert 3rd downs it won't mean sh**... i agree. but the rush to get some over-hyped QB (over-hyped because there are soooo many teams looking for the golden ticket QB) is astounding to me. i mean at this point it's like a poker game. who knows who will be the consensus #1QB come may? if bortles is there @4 would i mind grabbing him? no? but to talk about trading up and losing picks because our FO is blinded by the awe of manziel would be crazy in my mind. i could a guy like him playing fine in AZ or houston (because of the temp) but in the AFCN i think the guy would crumble. that's just my opinion. hell i've been way off base before. if we switched back to the 4-3 then clowney would be a no brainer. if all good QBs worth a top 5 pick are gone and clowney is also, what do we do, grab watkins? grab another D player? i dunno. but we do need bigger taller faster D backfield guys. i don't care if they come from the first round or UDFAs.

Maybe they'll make it a foursome....

she could get it.

@mike-h said: This is really annoying. I'm not going to say names, but you want to get on board and support dogshit hires like Pat Shurmur and Chud but scoff at Mike Shanahan? The multiple team Super Bowl stat is the only argument against bringing him to Cleveland. My friends is a crazy supporter of the Redskins and while he by no means is an official expert on the team, I take his word on most things Redskins. I asked him about Shanny for this very same reason and he said the guy just seemed to totally lose his edge this season. It's a lot to type here, but he basically was telling me that by about week 6 Shanahan was completely checked out of the season. I understand Synder is a crazy owner and he was likely being undermined, but you have to fight as a coach which he clearly didn't do. Just because he was good in the past doesn't mean he hasn't let the game pass him by. His son was largely responsible for the offensive system in place there, not him. Again, my friend is no beat reporter but the fact there haven't even been reports of people wanting to interview him leads me to believe what he's saying is true. I'd rather have a young, fiery coach than someone who is just a name.

@the-gipper said: Both Kerry Collins and Drew Bledsoe did start a SB game. Bledsoe's Pats lost to the Packers, and Collin's Giants lost to the Ravens in 2000. Should appearances count? Nope. One win needed to qualify. Sorry Dan.

I like Carlos; would prefer the third though.

Take the best WR. or best DE

@kc3902 said:I would like Shanahan, but I don't think there's any chance he'll come here. He needs more control than this regime will allow. I honestly wouldn't mind a Mangini return, but there's no real chance of that either. Whisenhunt would be a blessing.Can't they just call Mangini and tell him to report to work on Monday? Isn't he still being paid? Haha I know, I know it don't work like, would be hilarious

He could decline the penalty and punt again!.Who all remembers that?

OK so I've come up with a couple of scenarios depending on the way you might want to go with the draft. Each is assuming sticking with the 3-4 defense until we know otherwise. The "Get a QB early" scenario - including picking up a CB in FA: 1a: JFF - QB 1b: Odell Beckham - WR - excellent (massive) hands, lightning quick, big play threat. 2 - best OG there - Yankey maybe, Richardson - for obvious reasons 3a: Shayne Skov - ILB - might not be available here if he tests well but looks like he'll be a very good player 3b: Carlos Hyde - RB - we need a big between the tackles RB and Hyde represents value here 4a: Marcel Jensen - TE - a big guy who can catch and block, providing depths at TE 4b: Yahwin Smallwood - ILB - ILB depth, especially needed if DQJ is allowed to leave The "Make the old men happy" mock - Hoyer as starting QB 1a: Jake Matthews, OT - Moving Schwartz inside to RG, shore up the OL 1b: Justin Gilbert, CB - Skrine came on a lot but is just too short for outside corner. Move him inside and put the 6'1 gilbert outside, giving us an elite backfield 2: Jordan Matthews - WR - there's any number of WRs who should be available here and represent similar value. pick your favourite 3a: Shayne Skov - ILB - Again - I'm big on this guy... 3b: A.J.McCarron - we 'game manage' our way to 11-5 seasons like the chiefs and bengals before flaming out in the playoffs 4a: Jordan Zumwalt - OLB - We need another pass rusher, and he's had a solid season, played well (better than Barr) in the bowl 4b: Tyler Larsen - C - More OL depth, solid enough player. The "Let's make our defense elite" draft: - hoyer starts again 1a: Clowney - he's a beast, but will he convert to 3-4 OLB? Or 3-4 DE? 1b: Ryan Shazier - ILB 2: Bradley roby - CB 3a: Zach Mettenburger, QB 3b: Brandon Coleman, WR 4a: De'Anthony Thomas, RB 4b: Smallwood, ILB, Again Beyond the 4th, you're looking at upside, not people who can contribute right away, so the position doesn't matter too much 5: Aaron Murray, QB - if we're cutting campbell and weeden we'll need another QB from somewhere 6: Taylor Hart, DE - backup, big guy with potential 7: Some kid with character concerns but big upside - see Billy Winn, Armonty Bryant So it really depends what you want to do. There's also a mock with Watkins first, but I can't be bothered to flesh it out.
