I think we take Watson.

I'd rather trade down and take Evans.

McShay and Kiper did a 3 round mock today alternating picks.

Cleveland came away with JFF, Bruce Ellington (WR, SC) Bradley Roby, Bishop Sankey (RB Washington)

FW hands can go back in your pants.

COA, amazingly they had 9 WR's going in the First Round.

Which naturally means like 4 will be drafted in round 1, and I'll lose the wager lol

If your boy Kiper says it's so...it must be a slammy dunk.

Also, Kiper had Locker ranked #1 in his initial rankings for that year, as did everyone else, and through out the the year when he regressed, he was dropped down the list.
Nobody...I mean nobody had him rated anywhere near that high. The guy was injury prone to boot. Locker was not an accurate passer and ONLY Mel, had him even going in the first round.

More on Locker...a career 54% completion passer with 35 interceptions and only 53 touchdowns. Pathetic. How does Kiper keep his gig?

I'm finding it hard to criticize Mel if he was the only person who had him going first round and Locker went 8th. Doesn't that mean he did better with him than anyone else? Maybe I'm wrong, but his job is to predict the Draft, not necessarily who will be great.

And also I think everyone thought Locker would be a bust. He was all hype for years in college because of his physical tools but never had the results to back them up.

So according to my sources (/BR'd), and NO ONE should anything I say as gospel, but..

-browns are throwing out smoke screens and are dead set on taking a tackle at 4
-they don't like Watkins because he loves the weed (arrested in '12), and they don't want him to corrupt Gordon.
-farmer and haslam are very well respected in the organization. Very nice people who know what the fuck they are doing.


My source works for the browns.

Yeah, you know a person is completely out of his element when "proving his point" involves criticizing a guy for being the most accurate with his prediction on how a player would be drafted.

There are a lot of Cons to the draft being held later, as I'm generally getting super-tired of all the mocks and predictions and banter and shit, but on the Pros side, Foot is getting more and more insanely stupid on a daily basis, which is entertaining as hell to me!

Yes opposed to previous regimes. Said chud was the worst, just the worst social skills ever. Said he probably would have kept his job but he was so awkward and never fit well with the new higher ups so they canned him.

Ill pm you his position when I get to a computer, I don't want to give away his identity.

Does anyone else on here think Clowney is going to be a huge bust?

No, only injury could keep him from being great.

Lol I don't have to..I won't even be by a computer until Tuesday. In Ohio for the weekend.

When I worked at Rutgers my boss just moved there from the browns, where he was their ticket sales manager for 4 years. He gave me a contact there because I wanted to get some info on season tix and I just stayed in touch with the guy. He has a different position now though.

I'm not saying believe me because the guy probably doesn't know what is actually going on, but I just thought id share.

Not sure id like a tackle at 4 but it's better than taking Watkins IMO.

We take robinson at 4 and a QB at 26, I am willing to bet we will all be happy in a couple years with the 2014 draft.

We'll be happy immediately. Esp when Robinson pwns Pittsburgh dline, Tate goes for 175 yds shoving the rock down their throats.
