Well, this is unexpected.....the Browns have scheduled a pre-draft visit for Maryland OT Bruce Campbell. Some mocks have the Raiders taking him at #8.

That would really be a shock to me. I realize his value, but come on....DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE

I frankly would have no issue if they traded down and grabbed Iupati if their guy wasn't there.

Iupati is the best guard in the draft and should go right around 15-20. The Steelers are supposedly pretty interested in him.

He has the athleticism, size, and arms to be a stud LT. But he could play both sides, IMO.

I have the Raiders reaching for him @ 8.

^^^All a smoke screen to teams looking to pick up an OT later in the 1st. Holmgren's gonna play all his cards and if he gets the right trade offer to move down in the 1st, he'll be all over it. Especially if "his guys" are off the boards when the Browns are on the clock at 7.

One more reason the Raiders should push for McNabb...

So the way I see it, the Clowns could've got Mcnabb for a 2nd round pick but they settle for 2 washed up has-beens. Good move walrus, you're the best thing that happened in the afc north this offseason.

While Campbell is a freak of nature...combine warrior, if you watch him on tape, he's nothing special. I can't see wasting a high pick on someone who couldn't dominate in college...at Maryland...against sub-par competition...

Seriously. You cant tell me that you would rather have these buffones over Mcnabb. Poor mismanagement from the brass.

The Browns made a move and didn't wait around for Reid to shit or get off the pot.

Poor mismanagement from the brass is right...in Philly...what a phuctard

Holmgren will run the Clowns into the ground the same way he did the Seahawks. Then he'll cash in and leave.

Wait a minute.:huh: The Clowns are already in the ground.

Crappone continues to come on Browns threads and spread his bullshit. He won't be seen after the first Browns pittspuke game. And you can take that to the bank.

I wouldn't be too confident there.

The Steelers were 9-7 and could easily go to 10/11 wins next year if the defense is healthy with Troy and Aaron Smith.

I don't see the Browns winning 10 games or more. At most they'll split with the Steelers again, so it kind of depends when and where the first game is at.

We already have one bet durkie. I've been thinking about which avatar I want you to use. Either a pic if Ben or a Steeler helmet.

They won 10 in 2007, 12 in 2008 and 9 in 2009. They can't win one more game next year?

I think even with Dixon or Batch they can be 9-7, with Ben and the defense being healthy again, they could go 10 or 11 and make the divisional playoffs or better. This is being realistic. I don't see how it's not.

The Browns went 5-11 and they haven't swept the Steelers since 1988. To all of a sudden think that one 13-6 win is a sign that the Browns have surpassed the Steelers in terms of division standings or in terms of consistently winning in the series, is ridiculous and nothing but wishful thinking on the part of Browns fans.

The Browns will have another transition year next year and easily not make the playoffs. Maybe in two years they'll be in a position. Pittsburgh is going to at least contend for a wild card spot. Come on you know that's true.

I respect your postings Non. You may very well be right, but IMO this team will be better than most people think. They may not make the playoffs this year, but they will be competitive. They have already filled several holes and haven't drafted yet.

And there may be more FA signings.
