The Browns had one of the easiest schedules this season, I believe.

Yup, and they had the toughest schedule the year before. They also had more wins last year too. So, there really is no excuse next year. I expect them to improve in the W column next year, and I am not talking about simply improving on this year's 4 win total.

I still think they can get 7 wins out of that schedule next year. The offense CAN'T be any worse than it was this year.

You do know how rotating schedules work in the NFL...right?

Why are you surprised? Cleveland was in a division where the other three teams all made the playoffs. No other team in the NFL could say that this year, so just from those six games, they already had a substantial "lead" on the rest of the NFL as far as toughness of schedule goes.

Exactly. If the Browns want an easier strength of schedule, just starting beating teams in the division...problem solved.

^ If they finish fourth in the division they play the fourth place team in the other two AFC divisions, don't they?

Correct. Their two "swing" games this year, I believe, will be Indianapolis and either Miami or Buffalo (finished tied for last in the AFC East). May get to see RG3 vs Andrew Luck?

I don't doubt that (because Blackmon is considered a "safe" pick) just like I don't doubt who will be the more explosive/impact player (hint: it won't be Blackmon).

Nice drop in....Yeah I know how the scheduling process works in the NFL. That's why I posted what I did. If you knew how it worked, you would have got it.

Best punt/kick returner the Browns have ever had, imo. So explosive.

Yeah, he could reach top speed in a couple steps. "Now you see him, now you don't."

No, not at all. I just prefer Metcalf's shifty explosion more than Cribbs straight ahead style. Cribbs has more return TD's but I prefer Metcalf better. This was one of his "sicker" moves...(about 40 second mark)

I don't think the front office will feel pressure to "have to take RG3" at 4. They have shown, that they do what they want when it coems to their picks and I don't think that changes this year. Would I like RG3? Yeah I would like him, but at the same time if he's gone and we don't get him, it's not the end of the world. We pick up at least 3 more starters with our first 3 picks and get a little bit in free agency, and we are poised to have a solid year.

As for the blackmon/wright debate, it really just comes down to what do you need more a fast, straight ahead receiver or a big, tall force like blackmon. Both will be good receivers in this league, so it's not like you are going to miss on them.

I'm def interested to see who we go after in free agency because that will tip our hand to the direction our draft will be.

I think they will grab a WR, RDE and RT in free agency.
