I'd assume this ends Ricky's future in Miami. Can Miami trade him? They still hold his rights. Maybe we'll see them trade him today for a late round pick, or more likely he'll just continue to sit out of football.

 

[Chase Stuart]

so when does everyone think we'll get our first real surprise?

Well, who do you think is going to go third?

 

[MaizeRage]

Edwards?

Depends on who trades up to get Edwards. hehe

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Okay FBGersWho do the Browns take?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Okay FBGers

Who do the Browns take?

Gotta go with Edwards here.

 

[zamboni]

Okay FBGers

Who do the Browns take?

The smart money says Edwards, but as mentioned, a trade up here could be possible.

 

[diesel7982]

Browns trade out with the Skins coming up for Edwards.

 

[Seven Above]

Smith to SF, Brown to MIA... No surprises so far. Now it gets interesting with the next two picks.

So the Edwards thing was just smoke & mirrors - overall I like the pick

 

[jurb26]

Nice pick, I think Brown will fit well into Saban's O.

 

[Big Log]

Braylon..

Okay FBGers

Who do the Browns take?

 

[Big Log]

According to Sal, 49ers and Browns could be talking...even though we heard Nolan state otherwise.

 

[Chase Stuart]

I'm confused. What "source" would give Sal news that the 49ers are thinking of trading Alex Smith to the Browns? Can't imagine Nolan is too happy about that -- or Alex Smith for that matter.

Same thing I asked.Who does Sal know that would leak this info?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

So hypothetical... Browns take Edwards or someone trades up for him. Who does Chicago take?

Benson

I'd guess Mike Williams.

 

[diesel7982]

Chicago goes Benson, IMO.CLE is obviously on the phone here...lets hope they get a deal done. I dont really want to see Edwards in CLE.

Benson

I've worked as a reporter (although not covering pro sports)... you'll be amazed how easily people will reveal information that is harmful to themselves or their organization. There are people out there who just can not help themselves.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Kiper says that the Browns were the only team without a "star" on offense last year. Did I miss Oakland, Miami, San Francisco and TB's offensive star power?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I think we are seeing a trade being made here. They are using all the time on the clock.Wouldn't that mean trade?

 

[Chase Stuart]

At least a trade attempt.

 

[Chase Stuart]

1.03 WR Braylon Edwards, Michigan

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I think we are seeing a trade being made here. They are using all the time on the clock.

Wouldn't that mean trade?

Guess not!

 

[Big Log]

The last pick was almost a full 15 minutes as well.

I think we are seeing a trade being made here. They are using all the time on the clock.

[jcab2000]

It at least means that they're talking about possible trades. Doesn't mean there will be one.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I think we are seeing a trade being made here. They are using all the time on the clock.

Wouldn't that mean trade?

Guess not!

I wonder if they attempted a trade but didn't get any offers they liked?

 

[jcab2000]

What do you think this does to Winslow Jr's projections?

 

[diesel7982]

I think we are seeing a trade being made here. They are using all the time on the clock.

Guess not!

I'm sure. They didnt take 13 mins writing his name on the card.

Kiper says that the Browns were the only team without a "star" on offense last year.

Did I miss Oakland, Miami, San Francisco and TB's offensive star power?

Oakland - Jerry PorterMiami - ... ummm McMichael

San Fran - Johnson

Tampa - Clayton

Cleveland had nothing near those players even if the term "star" is used loosely for Porter.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Chicago probably breathes a sigh of relief. They don't have to deal with either:a) Passing over Edwardsb) All the negative commentary on Michigan WRs for the next five months

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Okay guys, who is going #4 to the Bears?

I'd say it's used loosely for all of them, especially Eric Johnson. Jeff Garcia could have been considered a star.

 

[jamny]

Cadillac

 

[Big Log]

Benson

Who is going #4 guys to the Bears?

 

[zamboni]

Who is going #4 guys to the Bears?

On balance, they probably need an RB more than a WR with Muhammed on board. I'd say Benson.

 

[diesel7982]

Mike Williams at #4 would surprise me, unless the Bears trade out to Washington or otherwise.If the Bears keep the pick, I think its Benson

 

[Chase Stuart]

For fantasy owners, let's hope the pick is anyone but Cedric Benson or Cadillac Williams.

 

[David Yudkin]

As the Thomas Jones owners hold their collective breaths . . . :X

 

[kellumsboys]

Suzie sure looks sweet today

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Benson

Who is going #4 guys to the Bears?

I think they are gonna surprise and go Antrell Rolle/Pac-Man Jones... Possibly Mike Williams. Really can't see them taking another RB.

 

[Wheelhouse]

For fantasy owners, let's hope the pick is anyone but Cedric Benson or Cadillac Williams.

Good point - Thomas Jones is capable. I would be somewhat surprised if they picked a RB. I see them trading down (ARI maybe) or taking a non RB. This will be interesting.

 

[Darnell Jefferson]

For fantasy owners, let's hope the pick is anyone but Cedric Benson or Cadillac Williams.

Is Ronnie Brown the early frontrunner for #1 rookie pick? I don't think Edwards could be ahead of him unless he got traded to a more offensive club.

Good out of the box thinking here.

 

[Big Log]

I think they should look elsewhere..i just have this feeling they take Cedric or trade down to Wash.

Lemme find a Drinen link for you,

 

[jwvdcw]

so when does everyone think we'll get our first real surprise?

Well, who do you think is going to go third?

BIG surprise I said.

When Minny doesn't turn in a card...opps, I guess that wouldn't qualify.

 

[Wheelhouse]

I think the draft tracker (pick your site - ESPN/CBSSL) should have a countdown clock. This wouldn't be too difficult to administer.
