Browns draft

[OZZIEOHIO]

Who will we take in the first round? and what do you think they will do after that?

[dazed&confused]

Richardson @ #4; Wright at #22, and a DE at #37. After that, take best player on board at each lower pick. NO ONE is saying this but I trade Cribbs if I can get value in return. Kick returns are rendered worthless with new rules and you should have a good punt returner somewhere.

[OZZIEOHIO]

Yeah we already got rid of Hillis we might has well get rid of our only other play maker we have left..... Actually I agree with you Trade Cribbs for a good tall wide reciever. We need a stand out running back to take pressure of the QB, and a couple lineman on both sides of the ball

[The Enforcer]

Browns just traded up from 4 to 3 taking T.Rich

[dazed&confused]

Took Weedon with #22 pick?! And we wonder why we are cellar dwellers? The Browns will still be suffering by this pick long after Holmgren and Heckert are fired.

[smurray]

I guess there's no need for O-lineman!

[dazed&confused]

Running back, check. QB, check. OL, check. DL, check. WR, ???????

[smurray]

QB check? I guess time will tell.

I still don't get it....a draft deep in WR talent and we draft one? Did anyone in the Browns front office review last year's tapes or did they burn them all after the season? The whole AFC North got much better except for the Browns, who are running in place. I give up.

[OZZIEOHIO]

And the one they drafted is the shortest one of all, I thought we were after a big tall speedster.

The Vikings bluffed the Browns out of three picks. That fourth rounder could have secured a right tackle or another quality receiver. Even if you lose Richardson, well worse things have happened. I'd have taken Blackmon in that case, then drafted a couple of runners later (you can get them there), and come out of this draft with several impact receivers. Draft four of them. If two fizzle out, you still have a couple of good playmakers, which is two more than we have now. The opposing defenses will still stack the box, tackle Richardson for modest gains on first down, and rattle our 29 year old rookie in the pocket on third and 7. I don't give a rip for a QB this year. The Browns are going to go 3-13 even if they had Otto Graham and Jim Brown. I wanted to be in position to get Barkley next year and have the offense set around him. Now, they won't take him even if picking first because the Walrus won't admit a mistake. Another failed front office. Like breaking a mirror, the Browns now have seven more years of failure. Randy, call me!

i must say i was begging to my tv, for my bengals to trade up to get richardson myself. that was a great move , and you had picks to give with all the extra compensatory picks you were given, great move by the browns.

i heard them say the browns had lost 30,000 season ticket holders, that blew my mind.

Cant really say i blame them these last few years have been tough on me as well.....

I'm a life-long Browns fan. Not a season ticket holder but used to be a regular. Went every year, several times a year. I lived and died fall Sundays based on what the Browns did on the field. I lost that passion when the hypocracy was exposed that my devotion was in vain as the almighty dollar allowed them to move. I've only been back to a live game once since they returned and that was because my son, who is a Steelers fan, wanted to see the Steelers play them. I love pro football and can't stay way from it despite wishing I could. I found solace rooting for the Packers during the Browns absence and they rewarded me with a Super Bowl winner. Still, I was willing to give the Browns the benefit of the doubt when they returned despite the fact I never really felt they were "my team" like the old team was. It takes more than a name and colors to make a team. The last 13 years have been like taking back a wife who cheated on you. I still love them but not like I used to. I kept waiting for a reason to fall in love again. I'm still waiting and after this last draft, I see I will have to wait even longer. I'm mad as hell at them but I can't completely walk away. So I'll pull for them hoping they prove me wrong but I still switch the channel when the Packers are playing.

The Browns direction they are trying to take the team the fans just can not figure out. They put pieces together somewhat then go backwards. Much like the spin the Wheel of Fortune then come up bankrupt. Then start in a new direction. While never being able to solve the puzzle. Just leaving their fans puzzled. Browns fans need something more than just hope and prayer from management. Everyone knows they need a WR they didn't draft one and have not gotten one as a Free Agent. They can change coaches but seet about the same results. Maybe things will change. Even the Bengals put together 2 very good drafts with Mike Brown in charge.

[The Narddog]

I like the Weeden pick.

[The Narddog]

I also like that the Browns showed some moxey moving up to get Richardson.

[The Narddog]

Would have liked to have seen more done at the wide receiver position.
