    Jeremy Fowler ‏@JFowlerESPN 31m31 minutes ago Sounds like Browns' meeting with CB Perrish Cox went well. He fits mold -- can play man, wouldn't be afraid of attention as a CB oppo Haden

    Can't have enough good CBs I suppose. Rather develop Gilbert/Desir but history shows there will be injuries.

    Browns have gone after Browner, Revis and now Cox. I don't think they have much hopes for Desir or Gilbert.

    I remember when we reached for him in the 3rd round in 2012. Everyone (including me) was so pissed, because he was being projected as a 7th rounder or FA. At least he's still on the team, unlike pretty much anyone else from back then.

    Insurance. Gilbert has shown he can be the biggest a-hole around. I mean, a Browns coach said he's never seen a worse attitude than Gilbert, so why would we count on him? If he develops, great, but don't leave yourselves with nothing if we get to next season and he decides to revert back to 2014.

    Yep. And those are the type of guys you need to find in the draft and then keep: contributors who won't eat up a ton of cap space but provide you with bang for your buck.
  • Mulva
    I would love to bring in Cordarrelle Patterson. Even if all he provides is kick returns and reverses.

    Need a lot of corners this day and age.

    Yep with the amount of spread passing attacks, need to have at least 3-4 good corners.

    I just love how Iggy sounds like an old woman virtually all the time. I mean, his last post on his thread starts "Shame on you..."

    Sorry gramma, I won't track mud on your carpet again...

    You'd think after a while it'd be like "Gee, I'm literally talking to myself, maybe I should find ANYTHING else to do with my life." But I guess it's no different than having a blog. His just happens to be on a message board where everyone has shunned him.

    Lol I saw the 3 highlight picks on Facebook for that mock and just laughed and said these are terrible I'm not even going to give him a click to see the rest of the shitty mock.

    Do you guys what the Browns to draft a postion at 12 and 19 or best on the board. If postion what position and who would you like to see be there for the Browns. If best player on the board who do you hope to see be there at 12 and 19.

    I am a fan of drafting best available except if 1. the right QB falls to you (in this case, Mariotta with that fail mock), or 2. You already have enough depth at a particular position.

    This.

    Though I would even take base available if you have depth. IMO, best available significantly reduces the risk of busts. And in the NFL, who knows how long depth will be around. Just get the best talent you can.
  • Mulva
    "Best available" is not a universal concept.

    This is true. But, usually there is a more agreed upon best player vs need.

    I'm convinced media outlets just love to throw the Browns name into the mix for every single FA interest/trade rumor.
    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/14/report-browns-offered-jordan-cameron-to-seattle-for-percy-harvin/

    Who in their right mind would touch Harvin with a 10 ft pole? On top of that, I don't think it would have made much sense for Cleveland to trade Cameron when he was coming off a big season/before he missed all the games with concussion.
  • Lovejoy1984
    How do these fucks even have jobs?

    If Leonard Williams falls to 8, I'd be alright with the Browns trading up to pick him up.

    It should be. Depth can be need in two plays, and need is a terrible evaluator of talent.
