I don't think Manning would want to go to the Jets after all the locker room problems they had this past year. Not to mention he would have to deal with Rex Ryan and would play in the same city as his younger brother..

Manning would be a perfect fit in Arizona. Fitzgerald is a true #1 receiver and the Cardinals have a solid defense and special teams..

True, Arizona's defense down the stretch was excellent. The only issue is Oline and receivers outside of Fitz. But man, I really don't want him to go there. They could be a helluva team.

If he is healthy enough, and is willing to play, he'll go to a team that has a legit shot at a SB without an elite QB. I see the Jets, Cards (maybe) or hopefully San Fransisco, if the price is right going after him.

IF we go WR in free agency, a guy I really like is Brandon Lloyd. I think he's one of the more underrated guys in the league and has some of the surest hands in the league. He's not a breakout guy sure, but he would give a good chance for Little to show if he has the potential to breakout or not. Not to mention I don't see him yielding a gigantic contract

Lloyd did pretty well with the Rams, with people like Kellen Clemens, his stats were not so bad. almost 1000 yards recieving playing with the Broncos (4 games 4 starts) and the Rams (11 games 10 starts) passing games is solid production.

I actually want to 49ers to try and get him. I doubt he'll command too much money, and for a year or two, could be quite the steal.

Should be a good move. Childress is fine as long he can't become HC

lol @ people comparing Richardson to Peterson.

Aside from their Adonis-like physiques, their talent level is nowhere near the same. Richardson--while less injury prone-- is nowhere near as explosive and quick to cut like Peterson. No one is. Peterson is just much more of a freak. Simple as that.

This

While I think Richardson will be a good RB, he likely won't be as good as Peterson. As you said, he just doesn't have the talent Peterson does, and spending a top 4 pick will be a huge waste for the Browns. Hell, Mark Ingram, first RB taken last year was IMO a wasted pick (28th overall) by New Orleans last draft. While not as talented as Richardson, didn't fare to well behind New Orleans dominant Oline. While the Cowboys with a 3rd got a far more productive back in Murray. That shows that a first isn't necessary for a RB, quailty RBs can be found anywhere in the draft.

Bulking up is the last thing Colt should do...look at how Brady Quinn bulked up and fucked up his own throwing mechanics. He developed bulk and mass wich hindered his ability to throw accurately. He should develope stretch type muscles that will allow him to be more fluid and have a nice crisp follow through

Good point. I didn't really consider his mechanics. Although over the offseason couldn't he be coached into different, possibly better throwing mechanics as he bulked up? Didn't something similar happen with Aaron Rodgers? Maybe I've gotten myself mixed up.

You need a system of some kind. Some systems are better, but need a QB to do his job withen it. However, the Browns seriously lack talent, and I'm not banannas on their coaching staff either. So Colt for starters isn't in an ideal situation. Problem with Colt is, he does have limitations, maybe bulking up, and improving his arm strength will help him long term with the Browns or some other team.

With that in mind, I think Robert Griffin III will be a stud, he has the athletism and the smarts to go far. But I doubt he is the saviour of the Browns. Theres a serious lack of offensive talent (should be focus of 22nd overall pick as well) The Browns are a while away, and some good drafts from being a good offensive team (unless RG3 plays like Newton) and while short term, Colt would be the better answer, but long term Robert Griffin III is the way to go.

Browns should take Blackmon, if he's available. I think he's going to St. Louis, but they could also realistically get Kalil.

If St. Louis get Kalil, Blackmon should drop to the Browns. If Blackmon is off the board, I think the Browns will end up with Griffin.

If that happens with the 22nd pick, get the best WR available, which most likely will be Wright or Floyd.

Drafting a RB that early, IMO is too risky. If he turns out to be as good as Peterson, it'll be worth it. But if he isn't, the Browns won't get any real value from the pick. You rarely see nowadays teams that have a single back as their focus of their offense. The value from a RB in with a top 10 pick just isn't worth it.

Now, if Richardson falls to 22nd overall, as unlikely as it is, then I'd think would be a good pick to draft him with.
