Looks like we'll draft between 5 and 9 to me. Very good shot at A.J. Green. You'll hear some talk about Mallett and his big arm (he gets Flacco comparisons because he's reasonably athletic) if McCoy looks frostbitten again. Shep
*************************************
1. McCoy didn't look "frostbitten", he looked like a guy with little running game, and didn't have the receivers to
make the passing game work well enough.
2. I believe there isn't any player in the draft, that will make the Browns pick another position in the first round, outside of wr.
The one defensive lineman is tempting, though, I'll bet. But I don't see game breaker blue chippie wr's falling out of the first round this year.
3. Flatulence Flaggo? Back in the day when Flacco didn't have a trio or quartet of outstanding or just very, very good wr's...
the talk was all over the place, about him being a possible huge bust. Now, since he has the receivers he has, and a solid olinie,
well, NOW he is bigtime. His defense has kept his job for him before he came into his own. Even after all his experience, he threw
a wounded duck to the endzone and T. J. Ward had perfect position on the play.
4. No matter who the qb is, he looks so much better at qb with wr's who make him look good, and he looks so much worse if he
has marginal, rockhands wr's who can't get separation. The drafting of Braylon Edwards did that to the Browns.
5. McCoy has better judgement as a rookie, than Flacco did as a rookie, and that is an understatement. But McCoy doesn't have
one outstanding wr, not even a very, very good one. That's why the dirty, ugly stupid stinkin ratibirds decided to shut down Hillis at all
costs. Naturally, the Mangini and co. played right into their hands by starting out handing the ball off to Hillis again and again.
that was Mangini and Dabol being out-coached, out-thought, and out-nerved.
6. Without Holmgren, I don't believe there would be a McCoy. Dabol would have wanted to draft a rb...
7. I have to go cut some more firewood now. GGG
