J. Lewis signs with Cleveland (1 Viewer)

Why even bother to sign him if you're going to draft Peterson? I know Lewis isn't the back he once was, but there would be almost no point to signing him as a backup.

Peterson to the Vikings? Hmmm...

I think that pretty much seals McGahee being a Bill next year as well. GB could still be a possibilty though, but thats about it.

Baltimore? That's the rumor.

Your right. Sorry :popcorn: This should improve the chances of McGahee getting traded now. Ozzie Newsome was so confident that J. Lewis would not get a better deal that he gave him an ultimatum. Well that kind of backfired a bit. If they don't get McGahee now, they are going to be hurting.

Agreed. I don't see AD being the pick anymore. It would be a waste of money.

Depends on the deal I think. If its a 1 year contract, then AP is still possible, but If its a 3 or 4 year deal, I don't think it happens.

With Droughns, Lews and Harrison in the fold, I'd be a bit suprised to see the Browns draft Peterson at this point. Not that any of the current Browns RBs are premier RBs in 2007, but they should be solid enough and the Browns have many holes to fill.Why sign Lewis if you're planning on drafting an NFL ready RB like Peterson anyway?

Thats probably the last thing the vikes need. :popcorn:You dont think a WR would come in handy for them? :loco:

Calvin Johnson to the Browns?

Braylon Edwards, Calvin Johnson, Kellen Winslow = pretty damn scary group of receiving weapons for whoever winds up at QB there.

if you'd have said that March 1st, I'd aggreegiven the options as of March 7th, I'm not sure there is a better senario for him...my guess is Droughns gets the ax next week, or restructures the $1.75M bonus down a tadClev's 1.3? :popcorn:

What WR would you like them to reach on at #7?
 
I guess when Lewis torched them for 500 yards in 2003, they must have made a pact if they could ever get their hands on him...

Chester Taylor isn't a franchise RB. He's okay, but nothing special. If Peterson is there at 1.07 then I'd expect the Vikes to take a long, hard look at him. I generally agree with the idea that good RBs can be had for cheap and are thus not usually worth drafting high, but there's no denying the impact that guys like Jamal Lewis (in his early years) and LaDainian Tomlinson have had on their teams.

Minnesota has so many pressing concerns beyond RB, they should trade this pick if ADP is there at 1.07.Lord knows they know how to use 15 (or more) minutes of clock on Draft Day....

I can name about a few of them at #7 that upgrades what they currently have at WR.
 
For Lewis this cannot be a good thing. I have to assume they are passing on Peterson at this point. Joe Thomas and Calvin Johnson will very likely be off the boars when they pick. Romeo is defensive minde...even thought the DT from Michigan might not be thought of as this high of a pick, maybe they want to go in that direction. They have Braylon Edwards ho is coming along just fine...maybe they want Brady Quinn to develop him.

Baltimore has a big hole now to fill.

 
I'm definitely hearing rumblings that the Browns absolutely love Brady Quinn. And it would make sense for many different reasons. First, he's from Ohio and apparently has indicated that he'd like to play for the Browns. Secondly, the Browns need a franchise QB badly. Thirdly, there's the Crennel/Weis relationship. I believe that as long as Quinn is there, he'll be the pick for the Browns and that has been the plan all along.

Makes a lot of sense. And honestly, I think it might be the best pick for them. QBs are always a huge risk, but you have to roll the dice at some point.

Please explain how? Defensive minded coaches like ball control... they have put a lot of money into the line, have a great deal of talent on offense and in any case a young QB they want to take pressure off of by running.

Quinn at #3, Russell fall to Houston/Miami?

AD in a free fall?? Maybe the injury concerns and other teams acquiring RB's in FA will make it happen. What a shock it would be for him to fall to the Packer at #16. Houston might get real lucky.

I agree that is probably the best thing for them. I was listening to an interview with Quinn on NFL radio and he was saying he wants to be the #1 pick. He then went on to say that he would love to play in Cleveland if they would trade up to the #1 spot and get him. Almost sounded like he wouldn't be happy if they selected him with the 3rd pick.

Be great for him. Better team.
 
I'm really going to be excited when someone else takes Jamal Lewis in my Fantasy Draft this year.

One less FF team to worry about...

 
CONFLICTING REPORT: NFL Network just said that Lewis did NOT sign with Browns and that he has made arrangements to visit "other teams."

Totally disagree... The Browns are trying to build a ground control team with a strong defense. They have put a lot of money into the line.

Here's the total team RB production for the Cleveland RB corps in recent seasons . . .2002 252.5 fantasy points

2003 250.5

2004 209.2

2005 209.9

2006 164.2

Notice any trends? It started out below average and ended up putrid. Maybe they'll do better . . . but that's only because it would be really hard for them to do worse.

Yep, 24.7.365....

 
There is no way AP falls to GB, with losing mcgahee and if brown doesnt sign(hopefully), AP could fit nice in Buffalo :goodposting: , maybe they take the pick they get for mcgahee and trade up there first and get AP, franchise RB and starting a new marv dynasty - Lossman,Peterson,Evans!!!

Tampa...Caddy

Cardinals...Edge

Washington...Portis

Vikings...got Chester last year
