    Have you guys voted for the pro bowl yet? I voted a couple times for Phil and JT. Phil deserves to be a pro bowler once in his career. Do your job guys!

    Well if this is true cross gruden off the wish list.

    I think Jay is a better coach than John.

    I'm not really infatuated with John Gruden either. I don't think it will be a "name" coach.

    And that's not happening (Gruden to TENN/gets a piece of the Browns). Why would Haslam offer Gruden a piece and not Banner, potentially pissing him off?

    I agree. I think we probably hire whoever the OC of the Cardinals is.

    This question I propose most likely will be a shit storm, but hey this thread has survived 518 pages, I think we can handle another potential shit storm!

    Anyway, I am looking at Mel Kiper's big board. I just skimmed it mostly, but I noticed it was heavy on defense. There might have been 6 offensive players listed. What stood out to me (not surprising though) was Geno and Barklay rated at the bottom of the list.

    If the Browns were to trade down, and get their 2nd pick back, would you draft Barklay or Geno if they dropped to the 2nd round?

    NO....defense, defense, and more defense

    And a guard

    No, but only because I think there can be a guy in round 3 or 4 with developmental value equal to one of those two. I know I hate Weeden, but for the sake of continuity I don't want to draft someone to challenge him right away (unless of course they prove themselves over the summer/training camp).

    Looking at that, I like Bray if he drops. I'm also thoroughly impressed with Dysert, and we know the pedigree of MAC QB's in the NFL. Looking towards rounds 5 or 6 I also like Sean Renfree out of Duke.

    Average starting field position?

    I wonder with all the hype that those two have, why would they slip to the second round if they have the skills to play in the NFL. Not sure about this up coming NFL class.

    Depends who we take with the first pick and who else is available. I 100% want them to trade down though.

    McClain and Curry released from the Raiders. I'd like the Browns to take a flyer on McClain.

    I loved Curry coming out, man was I wrong on him.
  • shook_17
    id definitely take a flier on McClian. Loved the dude coming out of college.
  • BR1986FB
    McClain is a stiff. Raiders fans have been bitching about his play the last few seasons. Wasn't worth where he was picked...plus he's a headcase.

    You gonna move DQ Jackson, who is a better MLB, out of position to make room for him? I'd do that for a stud like the Te'o kid from Notre Dame but not for McClain.

    Haslam seems to be optimistic. Also there is a short trailer for that Browns show that will be premiering next tuesday.
