I wanted us to trade up and take RG3, and Washington is a mess right now, so what do I know? I don't do a "lot of reasearch", I just get gut feelings about guys I watch, but I have been right a LOT more than the Browns front office has ... I'm sure we all have.

 

It's funny that Steeler fans think their smarter because their team is more successful ... we are the fan base that should be giving advise to other fan bases because we are always smarter than our front office!

We had one good stretch there, 07-11, where Savage took Joe Thomas (but passed on Adrian Peterson), Then Mangini and co. took Mack, the solid center who we have failed to get under a second contract, and then Heckert hit on Haden and Taylor before Holmgren forced his hand with the disaster of 2012.

Kudos to this administration for getting a 1st round pick back out of that 2012 disaster, but those solid players we drafted are getting older and more expensive, a lot of pressure on them to field a winning team in 2014 or end up just being another second-guessed administration that embarrassed us fans.
