I was hoping the Browns would try out Rugland after that video came out a few months ago.

I'll take kickalicious on the brownies. Kellen is a good signing. Provides depth and size.

Will Kickalicious punt, FG and/or kickoff or do all three, free up a roster spot!

He needs to reduce his approach.

LOL if you think that means the Browns won't consider Milliner.

Trent Richardson - RB - Browns

Trent Richardson is facing a civil suit for allegedly assaulting a pair of women last December.

The lawsuit claims Richardson, his brother Tyrell, Richardson's girlfriend, and two others verbally and physically abused Krystal Jones and Kathleen Hunter at Richardson's home in the early hours of December 10. The complaint accuses Richardson of slamming his fist onto the hood of Jones' vehicle, causing $1,500 in damage, and orchestrating a physical assault on the two women. It's always fishy when "civil suits" are brought forth without formal criminal charges, making it appear very much like the women are only after Richardson's money. The suit definitely won't affect Richardson's 2013 availability, and we wouldn't be surprised if it went away soon.

Nice, I try not to trust anything MKC says on twitter lol. As for Milliner, I have a hard time thinking he would slip past Philly and Detroit, but who knows. I like what CBS Sports has to say about Warmack. I think it solidifies my decision in who I want at 6...

Dr. KnOiTaLL;1412404 wrote:STRENGTHS: Warmack is considerably lighter on his feet than one would expect given his stout frame, and is adept at meeting and eliminating linebackers at the second level.In pass protection, Warmack does a nice job of supplying an initial punch and grasping hold of his opponent, showing good lateral agility to slide as well as the anchor to handle powerful bull-rushers.
Warmack is equally effective when asked to drive defensive tackles off the ball or beat linebackers to the action at the second level.
WEAKNESSES: Due to his lack of height, Warmack may lack the position versatility of his more recognizable linemates Barrett Jones and D.J. Fluker, but he is further along in his development than Fluker and, frankly, makes more eye-popping blocks than Jones. Size means that he'll be relegated strictly to interior blocking in the NFL.
COMPARES TO: Will Shields, OG, Kansas City Chiefs -- Let's be clear, no incoming rookie truly deserves comparison to a first ballot Hall of Famer, but Warmack is a rare prospect. While perhaps a tad shorter than ideal, Warmack uses his natural leverage advantage to consistently get under the pads of his opponents, driving them off of the ball in the running game and anchoring in pass protection. His lateral agility and balance make him effective getting to and blocking at the second level and handling quicker pass rushers, as well.
He has a long way to go before threatening Shields' record of 231 consecutive starts in the NFL, but proved durable in the SEC, starting every game the past three seasons.

I read an article that said Richardson is going to be force-fed even more this year, and he will also be more involved in the passing offense. It should push him to, or at least close to, 400 touches on the season.

Any word on the Grimes front? Rotoworld has rated us as one of the big winners in free agency thus far. They have the Steelers and the Ravens as big losers, and they also have the Colts and Dolphins as losers for OVER-spending and not leaving anything for the future. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with where the Browns are at right now, especially if we land Grimes.

I think with the addition of Grimes, we will likely have the best D in our division, and I'm hoping Chud and Norv can churn out a few more points simply by being competent play-callers.

Brent Sobleski ‏@brentsobleski 37m O,Umenyiora signing w/Atl, could force another domino to fall. CB B.Grimes probably won't get the offer he would like from Atl. as a result.

Got my fingers crossed that the Browns can ink Victor Butler today before he leaves town. I think he'd be the best option to start across Paul Kruger. This front 7 could get pretty scary with how deep it is shaping up to be.

I think it already is a strong front 7. The Browns defense should be top 3 in the league next year right behind the Texans and Seahawks. :thumbup:

Now our offense, hopefully it's top 20 but I won't hold my breath on that one.

I agree. I am loving our defense at this point. However, we do have several holes that need addressed, specifically in the secondary, and our offense have made no improvement thus far aside from the fact that we got rid of old Patty Boy. Lots of questioned to be answered still.

The Jabbal Sheard project scares me. Butler has established that he can rush and drop into coverage. I still kinda hope Sheard can net us a second round pick ( or more). If we can get another pass rusher of the market ( butler) his value increases drastically-especially since he could appeal to both 3-4 and 4-3 teams.

Lol at Geno going at #2 and Barkley at #7... I don't know which one would be a worse pick.

As for the Browns I think if they do stay put at 6 they will draft Millner... They should try and trade back and get Warmack or Vaccaro and pick up at least a 2nd round pick.

If this happens I'd be stunned if they went OLB (Jordan, Ansah, etc) at 6.

Trade back. Also I dont think Butler (backup) should keep us from drafting a future stud pro bowl caliber OLBer. If it does, lombardi should be fired.
