Meh, the Browns have been on the opposite end of missed calls so many times, they deserve a few here and there.BR1986FB;975394 wrote:Not that it matters now but I was wondering at the time it happened.....the Browns got away with an illegal play on that double reverse pass to Seneca Wallace. There were two forward passes on that play. Even THAT couldn't ensure victory. SMH
Sad part is, even when they cheat (cough....unlike another member of the division...cough) they STILL can't win.like_that;975407 wrote:Meh, the Browns have been on the opposite end of missed calls so many times, they deserve a few here and there.

There's no way the whole section stood up.

Don't disagree with that at all. By 8 years old the kid needs to grow a sack.Mulva;975450 wrote:Also, the kid is a pussy.
Especially if he's going to be a Browns fan. If that's all it takes for the Browns to make you cry then you stand no chance.BR1986FB;975461 wrote:Don't disagree with that at all. By 8 years old the kid needs to grow a sack.
exactly. we can get barkley, jones or griffin plus the rest of our draft this year and next> luck with virtually no draft. not that im saying we should draft a qbY-Town Steelhound;975436 wrote:Andrew Luck is not worth that many picks when there are so many holes to fill...
With three picks likely in the top 40, Heckert had BETTER not screw it up. It's a MUST that these guys be IMPACT starters. No Robiskie's, Veikune's or Massoquoi's (not that Heckert drafted those guys).OQB;975499 wrote:I think this is the most important draft of the new regime....they have got to find atleast 3 legitimate starters in this draft, but which positions they target will be interesting because we do have so many needs.
Absolutely! That is why I think this is the most important draft yet for this regime...they have to show signs of contention next year, period!BR1986FB;975501 wrote:With three picks likely in the top 40, Heckert had BETTER not screw it up.

The sad thing is, it's a pretty young team.....BR1986FB;975507 wrote:The one recurring theme I want to see in these players is SPEED, SPEED AND MORE SPEED. They obviously have to be impact football players but this team is so S-L-O-W it's pathetic.
The "you can find a running back in any round" is commonly thrown around but history shows you're much better off drafting one in the first 3 rounds. In the last 10 drafts there have been 56 players drafted to rush for over 2000 yards. 43 were drafted in the first three rounds. Micheal Turner in the 5th round is the only RB I see that has been a difference maker at RB drafted after the 3rd round. For those curious, since 2001 Philadelphia and Heckert have never taken a RB in the 1st round but their 2 best RB's (Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy) were taken in the 3rd and 2nd round, respectively.OQB;975809 wrote:I'm not really worried about the running back position for the fact that RB is the easiest position to transition into from college to NFL. They can be found in any round and if you do your research which Heckert does a good job at, he will find a later 4-5th round Rb that can fill the depth chart and hope Hardesty is healthy next season.
We need playmakers and linemen....I say you go after a lineman with the first pick and then get that vertical threat with the 2nd first round pick. Then you address defense in the second/third round
Trust me I too was surprised by what I found. I would still try to find a RB in the 2-3 round range.OQB;975887 wrote:Good post.....I guess the basis of my post was not to spend the 2 first round picks on a rb.
A few mocks have us taking him in the 3rd.zach24oz;975774 wrote:Would it be possible for James to fall to the 2nd round? If so, that could be a good scenario for the Browns to get Blackmon, then a LB with their 2nd 1st rd pick and then in the 2nd round take James. You get 2 playmakers to help the O and get a young LBer who can start right away. Then you can continue to go OL and some more DL/DB/LB to finish the draft. Then hopefully be able to sign some OL in free agency.
