I'd take Kalil that high.

I am a big believer in building up the o line. The offense doesn't have talent, but if the o line is legit, the offense would play MUCH better. Right now the whole team is just a cluster fuck.

Me personally? Absolutely.

I think there are a lot of good tackles in this draft (Kalil, Martin, Reiff, Fluker, Adcock), as well as David DeCastro and Cordy Glenn at guard. Kalil might be the best prospect/safest pick, but there will be another solid option there with the 2nd first round pick if the Browns choose to shore up the O-line early in the draft so if we were presented with that scenario I'd prefer a playmaker.

Outside of the line, I don't think any LB, CB, DE, or S justifies a top 5 selection. If we end up picking that high, I think the best players available are going to be Blackmon/Jeffery, Richardson, or a QB. I'm not that high on any QB other than Luck, so personally I'd be happy with Richardson or Blackmon.

haha. for sure man. i don't think colt is the answer but aarron rodgers couldn't win with this oline. he has absolutely zero time to throw the ball. we just need 3 more drafts before we are serious contenders. maybe lol

I have serious doubts about "MoMass"....another head injury today. I don't think he'll have a long NFL career.

"Pittsburgh selects...Mike Wallace"...09 draft...3rd round...84th overall. How's he doing? Who'd we draft? How are they doing?

Browns need to get the 2 best wide receivers available...in the first round. Then address the o line with picks and fee agency.

I've gotten to the point that I record the game while watching it, and when it gets ugly, I turn off the TV and go do something else. Today, I watched the OSU-Walsh basketball scrimmage online. I checked on the score, saw it just got uglier, and ended up erasing the game without watching the rest.

Better for my blood pressure.

If they turn this around in a few years, who knows: I may actually get to watch an entire game again! :laugh:

In the meantime, college basketball is starting for real this week...

You are the second person to say this. These are my feelings, but I don't care at all if they are on tv. I have no desire to watch them. I went to my parents today and my dad wanted to watch it. But at one point he said that he wished the Bengals were on instead.

Browns fans are as loyal as they come, but you can only go through so many coaches and QB's and contnue to get the same results.

I don't know if Heckert and Shurmur are the answers, but they better have a great offseason.

one fan's reaction to today's game. "you are a factory of sadness" was his best line.

Good call on Richardson. I forgot about him.

I thought he was Bama's best back last season even when they had Ingram. There's probably about 8 positions we need to fill more than RB, but the guy is such a beast I'm not sure how anyone could complain with taking him.

I stand by my comments about his son though.

You sure about that? Hardesty has proven he can't stay healthy (so has Hillis, this year) and I doubt the front office brings back Hillis with how much of a mopey/whiny "me first" type of flake he's turned out to be.

Blackmon/Jeffery/Richardson

Those should be top 3 targets, in no particular order, imo..

Now, say we grab Jeffery or Blackmon with our first pick.... And Richardson is still there with ATL's pick...

Do you go offense both times? I'd say "hell yes." That would be a no brainer.

RBs are dime a dozen in the NFL. Drafting an RB with a first rd is a waste imo. RBs only go as far as their line takes them. We could have AP on our team, and he wouldn't be doing too well with the way this line is playing.

It's about time we start lookin at offense...I said it was a mistake not to take Julio Jones in the draft at #6. I realize we had a lot of holes on the defense, but yeah lets just completely overlook all the glaring holes at offense!

And now we're paying for it; because our offense fucking sucks.

Hell, I'd take 3 straight offensive playmakers with our first picks in the 2012 draft.

I would love Blackman with the first pick and with the 2 nd pick grab Barkley. But I doubt Barkley is there with the atl pick
