I like the Benjamin pick. Guy is a burner, exactly what we need.

I don't mind these two picks today. Benjamin probably could have been taken a round or 2 later, but I won't complain.

JMJ is an ILB, so not surprised I had at least a little laugh at seeing that. but he is a versatile prospect so he'll eventually be able to play OLB..and we can only thank fucking god for that...because our OLB's suck ass.

Yeah he was drafted to be a good tackling OLB, no complaints there.

Some guys I would like to snag in the draft still are Minnifield, Markelle Martin, Ryan Lindley and Marvin McNutt.

I'd be ecstatic if we grabbed either of the Marv(in)'s. I think they both had some potential to be solid WR's in the NFL with a little polishing.

Marvin Jones is a little faster..about 4.46 and McNutt is bigger at 6-4 216 but I think he has better hands. We'll see.

I love the pick--at 6'7" he can play both inside and outside.

The browns front office must have thought very little of McCoy if you think about it.

We had what was largely considered to be one of the worst receiver groups in the NFL last year.

We didn't get any in free agency, and made no effort to draft one in the top 100.

That basically tells you they think the group we had wasn't that bad, and that it was Colt's fault they sucked. Clearly they think this group will be drastically improved with Weeden throwing them the ball, otherwise they would have drafted one with the 2/3 round pick.

They're saying he may be moved to tackle as well at that size. Could you imagine Colt McCoy trying to see behind the lineman if he was at guard...

Says he could've went anywhere from late 1st-3rd, so I guess it's a good pick. With the Browns, you can never have enough OL...so is this competetion between him and Schwartz for RT?

Led the league in drops....not the qb. They really shit the bed so far....hopefully colt is traded for some sort of receiver

I am not saying I agree with it, but what else can really be drawn from that?

They clearly think this group is not the problem since they haven't done anything to help it. The only conclusion to draw is that they think McCoy was the problem, and that Weeden will fix it.

I'm not sure if McCoy can see over a high school line.

SMH... Once again, nobody said McCoy was the answer, nobody said the front office believed he was the guy.

There is no gray area with drops though. If a ball is under thrown or behind the WR and they get a hand on it but don't make the catch, isn't that counted as a drop?

I know I've said it multiple times, but whatever... I like Little's potential. I think the people giving up on him are foolish.

Not giving up on Little, as you can definitely improve you catching ability, however a lot of his drops were his fault.
