Teams more often than not use their own unofficial timing than the official time so it doesn't matter*

They'll have the room, but that doesn't mean we should throw a ton of money at Decker. Just because we have cap room doesn't preclude us from signing someone to a contract that becomes an albatross down the road.

I'm not opposed to signing Decker, I think he's great (rated #11 this year on PFF overall among WRs), but I don't want to sign him to a huge deal.

I would be so sure we are taking a qb at 4. I honestly think if clowney is there at 4 he will be the pick. Now with our other first I could see us taking jimmy garropollo. I'm really impressed by him and he could be the best qb in the draft

IMO it's a sure thing he's gone by 4.

If I'm the Texans, it would be really hard to pass on the opportunity to pair Clowney with Watt. That would be a nightmare for offenses.

I've heard some rumblings about Khalil Mack being taken before Clowney

Of course, no one knows for sure what to truly believe.

The Texans will trade the number one overall to the Browns for their second number one (Richardson) and next year's number one. Browns draft Johnny football. The Rams take Clowny, the Jags take Bridgewater and then the Browns draft Sammy. Imagine that. All pros at quarterback, both wide receivers and at tight end.

You still have 5 picks in rounds 2-4 as well as a pile of cap space to plug the holes.

It's a damn shame they hired Farmer instead of me, lol.

I think he's gonna be a hell of a pro! With that said, can't imagine Mack being taken before Clowney.

I doubt a team would do it....but I won't be surprised if Mack turns out to be the better player.

I would be surprised if Clowney turns out better than Mack. If you're looking at guys near equal talent, give me the guy with the chip on his shoulder over the player who has effort issues every single time.

I'd take Carlos Hyde in the second round if he's still available. The guy reminds me a lot of a bulkier Adrien Peterson.

^^^ no. I believe our 2nd is like 35 or something? I'd go the 3rd. Not the 2nd.

Don't know if I really like it as much as some of the others, but what do you guys think of this digital reworking of the Browns uniform?

....and the Browns make yet another quarterback mistake in the first round.....Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden.

Manziel will be a collosal bust in the NFL.

Careful. Everyone here thinks drafting a rookie QB is going to change the Browns forever, see the above QB's the Browns have drafted and the numerous 1st round failures over the past decade.

There are a few I don't mind, but most of them are pretty sad. They are all too similar as well, using the same ideas for all of them.

I agree that the font looks like a carnival as well. We don't want to be about fun and games... ALL I WANT TO DO IS WIN WIN WIN
