Cleveland Browns (12 Viewers)

[MAC_32]

ESPN's Bob Holtzman reports Browns have narrowed choice at #4 to Richardson or Claiborne. Blackmon is outvia Twitter

How would the browns let him know that?Remember, rule #1 is the closer you get to the draft the less you can believe what you hearsooo, if they lead him to think this, who are they REALLY targeting?

Hopefully they're getting someone to blink and trade up for Claiborne if someone jumps us for Rich. I'm wary that Claiborne really is plan B though. Hopefully we just don't have to worry about it and the Vikes can't trade their pick.

To me the worst the Browns could do is taking Blackmon. If they do but then take Martin at 22 it's still a huge improvement. If they turned around and went Blackmon, Cordy Glenn I'd have to shake my head in disgust. If somehow they still got Martin or David Wilson at 37 the disgust would turn to a thumbs up.

I would think Blackmon + Martin or Wilson would be the plan, at least I hope it would. Martin anyway, not a Wilson fan.I'd rather trade down and get Floyd + extra picks instead but that may not be an option.

what if they pass on Richardson to take Tannehill

 

[Village Idiot]

Mayocks mock draft had us taking Blackmon at 4 and Martin at 22.

I wouldn't be horrified by that but I'd rather see, Richardson at 4 then go WR or OT at 22.

I think we will use our plethora of picks to move back up and fill in more on the O-line somewhere in the 3rd round

for a guard and possibly another RT even if we take 1 at 22 or 37.

For depth and to hedge.

We will take multiple shots at WR along the way too.

Re the Jets rumor trying to trade up rfor R!ichardson.

If it's with us, they would have to ship so much to get us to move down to 16 it would be ridiculous.

#16, their number 2 and, their number 1 and 2 next year or I weould tell them to take a hike.

Not gonna happen, write it down.Holzman was just on Sportscenter and immediately called the Big Show after and reported the same. He is assigned to the Browns and has been shadowing Heckart all week.

so the browns know that teams are interested in richardson and tannehill, and they let it leak that they are taking richardson or blackmon KNOWING that teams could trade to the vikes ahead of them and snag either one of them.why?to keep teams off guard so miami does not consider going to 3 to get Tannehill, that could be why

5 most likely picks at No. 22 -- No. 1 WR Hill

April 26, 2012 9:23 a.m. - by Marty Gitlin

Georgia Tech WR Stephen Hill (6-4, 215) is more than intriguing. Anyone who runs a 4.28 40 at his size must be strongly considered. He's a risk, having played in a run-first system and not compiling dazzling numbers. But he's a physical freak with tremendous talent he displayed at the NFL Combine.

5 most likely picks at No. 22 -- No. 2: WR Wright

April 26, 2012 9:11 a.m. - by Marty Gitlin

Baylor WR Kendall Wright is as advanced a WR as the Browns will likely find at this spot. He dramatically improved his 40 time in his Pro Day, but one must ask how much of his success was gained through the wondrous talents of QB Robert Griffin III.

5 most likely picks at No. 22 -- No. 3: OT Jonathan Martin

April 26, 2012 9:03 a.m. - by Marty Gitlin

Stanford OT Jonathan Martin (6-5, 312) would be a nice complement on the right side to LT Joe Thomas. He's a cerebral player with polished footwork, though it's been noted that he needs to add a bit of weight and strength. Martin should fall to No. 22 and the Browns could grab him.

5 most likely picks at No. 22 -- No. 4: QB Weeden

April 26, 2012 9:00 a.m. - by Marty Gitlin

The Browns will probably wait until No. 37 to draft 28-year-old Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden or bypass him and snag what they perceive as a promising QB later to compete with Colt McCoy. If they take Weeden, even at No. 37, it will be as the all-but-certain starter.

Five most likely picks at No. 22 -- No. 5: OT Glenn

April 26, 2012 8:54 a.m. - by Marty Gitlin

Georgia OT Cordy Glenn (6-6, 345) would ascend to No. 1 on the list if he's still available, but probably won't be. He would most assuredly fill the gaping hole at RT as the immediate starter and could, along with LT Joe Thomas, give the Browns bookend Pro Bowlers along the OL.

??? No chance in hell they go for TannehillThe Browns are sitting absolutely pretty at the #4 spot. Too much bru-ha-ha going on for a team that is going to GET one of 3 players they want and/or need.

They are guaranteed one of Richardson, Claiborne or Blackmon (who they wont take)

it's not a secret theyre after Claiborne/Richardson, and will get one of them guaranteed, without having to lift a finger.

All this does, is drive the buying price of #3 even higher for the vikings, if they can make teams who want Richardson believe that the Browns are after him.

browns = sitting pretty.

so you assume there is 0 preference between those two, and they are happy to drive up the price for the vikes out of the goodness of their heart? How does that benefit the browns over staying silent? everything a team lets someone know now is misinformation

the browns have an agenda by leaking that they are locked in on 2 players, you need to figure out what it is

No, I believe they prefer Richardson, after having made no worthy offensive moves in the offseason.Browns don't need to leak anything out.. Let's be realistic.

We can't score points and rid ourselves of our #1 RB in Hillis

Doesn't take a leak to know what the Browns are likely after at #4.

But like I said, they're sitting pretty at 4. And put my Browns fandom (which has endured A LOT), on the fact that we won't touch Tannehill at #4

I gotta fess up

I am just trying to worry browns fans about Tannehill because, well you are Browns fans!

I hope for you guys sake you take Richardson and start making some headway. I'll stop messing with ya though

 

[rizzler]

Browns don't need to leak anything out..

yet it seems information is leaking out...

or a bunch of nobodies are acting like they have inside scoop, based solely on the common knowledge of the browns' needs.don't blow nothing out of proportion.

remember, when you multiply by zero... you get zero.

 

[Bobcat10]

B-Deep gets deep. People should know this.

I think the Browns are looking at all their options. That includes all trading options, which is exactly what ramps up at a high rate as the draft nears. They would be fools not to...to just sit on their hands and wait for "one of their two targets" at #4. Get a kings ransom...and still get studs...let's do this (edit: and by that I mean let's just get to the friggen draft!!)!

Interesting stat posted by Grossi:Sacks given up last year: Kalil: 2, Martin 1.

 

[MAC_32]

To be fair, Martin had a lot of help on that o line - specifically right next to him. I'll be impressed if DeCastro goes before him, as he should, because it says some teams are realizing that an elite guard is better than a good tackle.

Still, I think his fall because of his measurables is just poor analysis. The on field product is legit. He's not a great round 1 prospect, but he certainly belongs in it and would be a solid piece on the outside allowing Pinkston and Pauvao to stay inside..

Glenn is not a legit tackle, he's a guard in the NFL. If we think Pinkston can swing out to tackle we should take Zeitler before Glenn if we're looking at that.If Reiff and Martin don't slip to 22 I think Massie could slip to 37, I'd like that pick.

If one of their preferred choics is trade down if someone jumps over them to take Richardson then yes, they dowant to leak out something to generate interest in someone trading up with them.

From La Canfora

linky

Browns could end up with three first-round picks

Teams and agents are trying to figure out where QB Brandon Weeden will go. Specifically, what do the Browns do at No. 22? Cleveland really likes Weeden, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, but ideally, they'd love him at No. 37, in the second round.

I suspect if the Browns don't take him 22nd, and at this point I don't think they will, then a trade up into the late first round isn't out of the question. If the Browns want to get a jump on anyone thinking about leaping to the top of the second round Friday, they could go ahead and do business with Bill Belichick, who is always looking to deal, at No. 31 and get their quarterback. The Browns' dream scenario would allow them to take a WR, RB and QB with their top three picks. A year ago GM Tom Heckert did some excellent wheeling and dealing. Maybe he can do it again.

Weeden at 37 is one thing, but if they love Weeden enough to trade up to get him, he BETTER be good enough to beat out Colt and start immediately at 29 years old going into the season.

ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported on SportsCenter Thursday that he "does sense some concern" amongst Browns brass that they could be leapfrogged for Alabama RB Trent Richardson.The most likely team to blow by the Browns would be the Buccaneers, probably at the price of the No. 5 overall pick and a third-rounder. Holtzman is live at Browns headquarters, and he's clearly got well-placed sources inside the facility. Per Holtzman, Cleveland would lean toward LSU CB Morris Claiborne if it lost out on Richardson. It wouldn't take Justin Blackmon.

This sucks balls if it were to happen.The Vikings going to #5 guarantees they still land Claiborne or Kalil, which is likely where their head is at anyways.Man, Ill cry if this happens.

Good/Smart move for the Vikes. While alot of people would be disappointed, you can't get everything all the time. Still plenty of room and ammo to have a great draft.

That'd just make the last few years disappear.

I don't see it. TB has too many needs to give up a 2nd round pick or 3rd and 6th rounders to move up two spots. They need Claiborne badly as their starting corners right now are 37 yr old Ronde Barber and Aqib Talib, who is going on trial for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon this summer. Their other CB is Eric Wright . Think they stay put.

I really hope you're right.Just finished watching the whole NFL Network analyst squad bust nut all over Richardson, and Im starting to get so damned nervous. I want this to happen so badly.

 

[NJDawgPound]

It would suck if the Bucs hop over us to get Richardson, but if that was to happen I wouldn't hate it if we traded down to 10 with Buffalo.

10) Michael Floyd

22) Doug Martin

37) Coby Fleener

41) (from Bills) Bobby Massie

Tell me THAT wouldn't give Colt weapons.

Plus, we should receive a little more from Buffalo for a 6 spot jump.

ETA: Got this from the scuttlebutt this morning I'm hearing about the Bills wanting to come up for Kalil. Plus they would have to to grab him if Minnesota moves to 5.

It would suck if the Bucs hop over us to get Richardson, but if that was to happen I wouldn't hate it if we traded down to 10 with Buffalo. 10) Michael Floyd22) Doug Martin37) Coby Fleener41) (from Bills) Bobby MassieTell me THAT wouldn't give Colt weapons.Plus, we should receive a little more from Buffalo for a 6 spot jump.ETA: Got this from the scuttlebutt this morning I'm hearing about the Bills wanting to come up for Kalil.

In the top 10 mock I posted here this morning, I had the Bills moving up to #5 to get Kalil, in a trade with TB(TB trades out after Claiborne and Richardson are gone)I can see it. great move by the Bills.

Wow, Jim Brown on Scott Van Pelt right now just said that he's "not overwhelmed" with the Trent Richardson pick.

"Because of him, or because of what they need?"

Brown: "Both."

What's the problem with him?

Brown: "Because he's "ordinary."

What about him is ordinary?

Brown: "His size, his speed, his moves."

Does any RB in this draft impress you?

"Not really, it's not a good year. When I see the game today I see a game of QBs. Protecting QBs. When you get a great lead, you need a great RB to run the clock out. So you think Richardson is a great RB? Where is the RB from Alabama last year? Did he have a good year?"

Wow.

Well, there's our pick.Heckert and Holm to make Brown announce a pick he doesn't like. LOL. Such trolls.

I'd dig that.Funny comparing the price of 4 or 6 to 2 versus what we're hearing about 5 to 3....no wonder the Rams jumped all over their trade when they did. I guess a franchise QB plays into the equation as well. Imagine if StL was still at #2, it would be nuts right now....and I don't think Tannehill would be anything more than a blip on the radar for any team inside top 15-20. I didn't hear much about him until the hype train started after the Rams moved back.

Allow me to hop aboard the Jim Brown Haterwagon.The one and only gripe I have about Richardson is that he's an absolute workout monster. Players like him that lift and bulk up too much tend to break down and succumb to nagging injuries. He needs to be scaled back because he goes at it too hard. That's the only "problem."EDIT: I wish I had that problem.
