Harry Buffalo Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I just want to get everyone's opinion on who they think we will draft with the first 3 picks. At this point we have a good idea of where most people will fall in the first,seond,thrid round so just jump in and give your picks and opinions. Round 1: A.J. Green WR: I just have a really good feeling that Green won't be off the board by the time we come up to pick. I really think that there is a 75% chance that he is still on the board. A lot of mocks have him either going to Carolina (no one is ever going to take a WR with their #1) Buffalo (I think they have alot more holes that need filled other than WR) and Cincinatti (They have already said that Ocho will be back next season and they have an abundance of good WR they started to play at the end of the season. Clearly the best WR to come out in the draft in the past 5ish seasons. If he is gone we pick up a DE/DT depending on who is left. Round 2: Cameron Heyward DE: Another guy who I think is going to fall to the second. He got alot of bad attetnion during the season from not living up to last year but showed in the Sugar Bowl that he has what it takes to play in tough games and he could just be great in the NFL. Would definatlly have to fall though since he is still considered a late r1st to early seond round pick. Another pick would be Tank Williams LB from TCU but only if we stayed in a 3-4. If we miss Green in the first and go DE I think we pick up Jonathan Baldwin at WR who is huge at 6'5" and only had a drop off of production this season because of horrible QB play. Round 3: Cassy Mathews ILB/OLB: I think this pick in the 3rd round is a no brainer for us. Some will say that we need to look at CB first or RT but I think this is THE safest pick you could make in the 3rd round. He comes from a family full of pro bowl football players and is really where his brother Clay was physically as maybe a Junior in College so he still has some muscle to put on. He is good enough to play ILB if we stay 3-4 and play outside in a 4-3 and either way you look at it we need to shore up those positions regardless of what defense we end up running.

secondwave Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Is this who we WANT in these rounds or who we believe we'll get? Because that draft looks too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandFanForLife Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 no way hayward and matthews drop that far. hayward played himself into the top 15 in that sugarbowl game and matthews will go in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nfldraftscout still has Casey Mathews as a fifth rounder. That's bogus. ********************************************************* Here's my first mock draft with Green gone: Round One - 6th pick - Marcel Darius, DE/DL, Alabama Round Two - Torrey Smith, WR/KR, 6-1, 205, Maryland Round Three - Marcus Gilbert, OT, 6-5, 320, Florida But, now I see that Torrey Smith may go in the first, easy, too. So, with the idea that Marcus Gilbert may last until the fourth round for the Browns, because everybody else got their tackles already, I like this draft: Round One - A. J. Green (or drop down a bit and take Julio Jones?) Round Two - J.J. Watt DE, 6-6, 292, 4.87 Wisconsin Round Three - K. J. Wright, 6-3, 250,4.59 (lowest), Miss. St. Those would be three immediate starter/impact players. OR, I'd jump at Wright in the second (to keep the ratbirds from replacing stinkin ray blewis, and doing this: Round One - A. J. Green (or drop down a bit and take Julio Jones?) Round Two - K. J. Wright, 6-3, 250,4.59 (lowest), Miss. St. Round Three - Sam Acho, DE/DL, Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said Heyward would have to drop but alot of mocks still have him being a late 1st early second so there is a 50/50 chance that he falls. Also the Mathews pick isn't a stretch at all. Most mocks out there either have him going to us or being picked in the late 3rd. Obviously this would be the PERFECT draft but in reality it is who I personally think we will get with Heyward being the largest stretch, not Green. There is a good chance that the draft could end up looking like Top DE/DT, Baldwin, Mathews/OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Here is the way we need to go. 1st-Prince Amukamara, CB, Neb 2nd-Marvin Austin, DT, UNC 3rd-Corey Liuget, DE/DT, Illinois I know first 3 picks are going to the Defensive side, but we need a shot of youth and talent on the side of the ball. These 3 together with Haden and Ward, would be one hell of a start for the Browns. I would also love to take a shot at another qb in rounds 4-7, maybe Christian Ponder from FSU. I really think that they are going to try and go after Vincent Jackson this offseason. Also I think Cribbs will be gone on Draft day for like a 3rd-6th rounder and swapped picks. Also these are the Free Agents I would love to have, but obviously we wont get them all. OT- Tyson Clabo ILB- Chad Greenway OLB- Matt Roth LB- Manny Lawson WR- Vincent Jackson WR- Sidney Rice WR- Steve Smith "Giants" RB- Darren Sproles and for the love of god, please resign Phil Dawson.

I'll agree about Dawson and Ponder (extremely smart guy) but not much else. We're not drafting the SECOND best corner at #6, not when you need wr-DL Lb help. So we get rid of DUI Edwards and bring in double DUI (and holdout) Jackson? Not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Buffalo Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Am I the only one who would love to trade up for Patrick Peterson? He and Haden would wreak havoc in the AFC for the next 10 years. AFter taking a CB in the top 10 last year I really think the last thing we will do is take another one in the top 10 this year when we need the most help at WR (if we don't pick one up in FA) and rebuilding the DL. I am 100% positive that we won't trade up to take one in the top 5 when the only difference between Peterson and Amukamara are that Peterson can do returns and is a slightly better tackler and Amukamare might be slightly better at coverage (didn't look too bad at tackling when I looked at his highlight film). I can't wait for a new CPA to be agreed on so teams can actually start trading and signing FA's. If one doesn't get worked on before the draft we will definatly see us picking DL and WR in the first 2 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyBagofDonuts Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 1st round selection- PATRICK PETERSON CB LSU Its a strech but he could fall to us at this spot. Every team drafting ahead of us is very poor on defense so which position do they draft. They are all in need of a CB and D-line. Not too many CBs get picked this high! Keeping fingers crossed. Alternate pick Marcell Dareus. 2nd round selection- GREG JONES ILB MSU Hard hitter, sure tackler, yeah doesn't sound like the browns I know but this is the new browns, 2 def players first 2 rounds and both will end up starting Alternate pick -Marvin Austin 3rd round selection- Benjamin Ijalan G/OT Nova They try to sure up the right side of the line with an overall well rounded lineman. Alternate Pick Leonard Hankerson WR Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What good does it do if we have 2 shut down corners, but can rush the passer or stop the run? Hmm, I guess you're right about trading up for him. But if he were available at #6, i'd take him in a heartbeat. The only players I really want in the first round are AJ Green, Nick Fairley and Patrick Peterson (much better prospect than Haden). Odds are, we won't land any of them. If thats the case, we should trade down and pick up Robert Quinn who should still be there at #10-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Heyward = another Vernon Gholston Don't be an anti Ohio State homer. Just because they play the same position doesn't mean Heyward is going to following Gholston's footsteps. It's like saying that Ohio State is never going to have another good WR come out in the draft because of Ginn and Robiskie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrownies23 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Heyward = another Vernon Gholston The only reason gholston failed is because he was lazy which everyone said he wouldn't be in the pros but he still was also you cant just expect to run around people in the NFL which is the only move he had Heyward on the other hand is versatile since he can move around on the line and still be effect not to mention he has power and decent speed where gholsten just had speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 1st Robert Quinn DE North Carolina 2nd Marvin Austin DT North Carolina 3rd Curtis Brown CB Texas I don't buy that a teams gonna draft a player that hasn't played football in 2 years in the first round. Character concerns and only 1 year of good production doesn't translate to a top 10 pick in my opinion. I think some draft guru's have him slotted way to high.

Julio Jones, WR, Alabama 2. Anthony Costanzo, T, Boston College (If picked, Curtis Brown, CB, Texas) 3. Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina (If picked, Sam Acho, DE, Texas) 3. Casey Matthews, LB, Oregon Two points- to trade down, you need someone who wants to TRADE UP. Moving into the 6th pick another team will have to see a "can't miss" prospect. And as to a quarterback needy team, I don't know if there's a QB in this draft worthy of the 6th pick. If anyone's going to take a QB early, it will be the Cardinals. Carolina could use someone better than Clausen, but there's no one close to Andrew Luck this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about swapping places with Lions like i mentioned so they can acquire ethier the DB they need (Peterson,Prince) or someone on there D-line with Suh how about Quinn, they need a corner bad and neither of those two will be there when they draft...Also they pick 13 one pick in front of the Rams to steal Julio Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the draft value chart the Lions would have to give the Browns their second round pick in order to swap places. Put Julio Jones opposite Calvin Johnson, and it's trouble for the rest of the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Lions drafting another #1 reciever we've seen how thats gottten them look for them to build up with Defense and i wouldnt mind swapping 1sts and then they could throw in a 3 and 4 or something, wouldnt neccesciarly need have to have there second pick as well... I mean for god sakes Maganai swapped back how many times with the #5 overall pick and we didnt see much in return for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nw220 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ill take trading down with anyone just before St.Louis picks because the only two i would want is Green or Jones im still praying that Green someone falls to us i just dont see it happening, so any takers before the #14 pick i would trade back with and grab Julio and never think twice about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDawgFan13 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I love to speculate on the draft as much as anybody else. But I am really not sure on this year's draft. Everyone has Green as the top receiver coming out with Jones as the #2. That could easily change at the combine. I personally would rather have Jones, as he is the stronger and more physical of the two. Both can run up the YAC and would be successful in the WCO...so I'll be happy with either of them. But I would prefer Jones. I wouldn't be shocked if Jones was gone and Green was still available at 6 or the other way around as most people see it. But everyone that is talking about trading down (including myself in a previous post) may not realize that trading down to get Jones, may be a very bad choice...He won't last much longer than Green...and may be gone before him. As far as my ideal 3 rounds...Jones in 1...Justin Houston or Jeremy Beal in 2...Casey Matthews in 3 Of course...things could, and probably will, change by the time the draft gets here.

calfoxwc Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Jones may very well end up picked before Green, I wonder about Green's elusiveness compared to Jones' quickness and elusiveness to get open. Getting Houston or Beal in the second round would be cool, but I figured before they would be picked in the first round, or top of the second before the Browns pick. Who knows. It's fun though, because most all of us will be wrong like every other year. The first rounder is so much easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 My personal 3 round draft: The reincarnation of Deacon Jones to rush the passer. The reincarnation of Dick Butkus to stop the run. The reincarnation of Jerry Rice to catch passes. This was supposed to be a "wish list" right? Well, those are my wishes.
