Now, the $64000 question.....which linebackers MAKE the team and who will be the starting four? I think D'Qwell Jackson is now expendable.

That would be two really,really bad picks

If they take CJ Spiller No.7.,Holmgren deserves to be fired on the spot

Spiller at 7 would be a huge reach.

Agree with Spiller being a reach. I think we are fine at RB with the addition of Hillis.

gibby....short of Bradford, my second choice would be McCoy. Don't want any part of the "fringe" QB's like LeFevour, Pike, etc. I'd be ok with Tebow if he were to fall to the 3rd. The recent "late 1st round" projections on Tebow would be a HORRIBLE waste of a pick and a MAJOR reach.

Well...if your second choice is Colt McCoy,you don't know as much as you think you do

How in the world could you think McCoy is better than Jimmy Clausen??

Behind those two...IMO Tim Tebow is the next best QB available

You better get used to the fact that it is becoming more and more likely that Tim Tebow will be wearing Orange and Brown next year

I bet 100% that Tebow is not a Brown next season.

It will be McCoy. He is the WCO QB that Cleveland is looking for, has impressed basically everyone during his workouts.

Clausen likely won't be there. If the Skins don't trade up to #1 for Bradford they are likely taking Clausen (who I don't want anyway). That leaves Tebow & McCoy. McCoy fits the short, ball control passing game of the WCO much better than Tebow.

We get it, you've been riding on Tebow's nuts like a $3 whore for two or three weeks now. We get it....

I'll ask the same question I've been asking for months....how many 6'0 Qb's are playing and successful in the NFL

What makes you the NFL expert here?? Are you Mel Kiper??

And Tebow is the typical successful NFL QB?

Right. NFL teams don't force QB's to change their throwing motions months before the draft if their a legit QB.

Never said I was the "NFL expert" here but for your "how many 6'0 Qb's are playing and successful in the NFL" question I can come back with "how many years will a RAW/PROJECT type QB like Tebow take to crack the starting lineup if he does AT ALL?"

Deal.

If I win, your quote will be "My website failed miserably thanks to justincredible and the amazing people of ohiochatter.com".

And your avatar will be http://www.outdoorsportsaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Tebow-Crying.jpg

Devil....Deal

Just to clarify...how are we determining the winner?? Only if McCoy is picked by the Browns over Timmy?

BR...did you come up with that one all by yourself

The majority of NFL experts feel he won't even be a QB let alone a starter in 2 years.

Didn't need to come up with it myself. That's one of the major knocks on him, "spread/shotgun" offense/never taken a snap from under center, plus he's not a "real QB" according to his teammate. :rolleyes:

You can't be taken serious if you think Tebow is worthy of a 1st round pick. The dude can't even take a snap from center (which is something QB's learn in Jr. High).

You don't know Mikey Clark. He's been on Tebow's dick a lot longer than a few weeks.

For our sake, let's hope older is better.

I liked Heckert's comments.

I would really have to question the brain trust if they actually take Spiller 7th.

I would rather see them trade down and get more picks than to do that.
