So other than Malauga WHo the heck else could we have taken????? Seriously was it that bad a draft. The only bad pick was the kid out of Georgia....Who else was on the board that you would have taken.....can you even name anybody? after the 1st 2 rounds the players are pretty much scrubs and we as fans don't watch film so its a shit shoot anyways. Alex Mack was a good pick for the 21st spot.....none of the guys taken in the top 15 were worth 20 million in guarantees......so I agree wit hthe trade downs however i do feel we could have squeezed a bit more out of the jets. I am not ready to give up on the season just yet. Well unless they trade Brady Quinn because then we are effed...and dont get mad that we didnt trade Braylon, his stock is alreayd ruined so if we want to retain him we put a tag on him and then do a deal or we can tag him and then trade him like most teams do....But DA has to go, seriiusly cleveland needs to committ to a QB I think everybody in Cleveland needs to just chill,the browns were not the only team that passed up on Rey Malauluga……there had to be something in that report that they dont release that made teams pass.

At least the Lions have Calvin Johnson as an upside. I'd contend that we are the absolute worst drafting franchise year in and year out in the NFL.

I am not saying Maualga was the answer as 31 of the teams also thought, but someone to help out Rogers and or the lack of a better name, pass rush. Our DBs aren't that bad (just no depth) they just had an unreasonable amount of time to keep the coverage up due to no pressure on the QB. I do like Mack and agree Fraley needs help, he's been around for awhile and I love Robiskie, see him as a Brian Brennen, Joe J type reciever, I and think he is ready to play now, let's just hope the Queen Diva gets back to his receiving form and gives DA or BQ a reliable target.

Also fraley had a bad year, and we all know about Braylon. I think a center is what we needed and none of the players in the first round would have made anything better. mack can also play guard so his flexability will help deceive the defenses. The Malauluga had off the field issues, clay mathews I am betting (this is huge acusation go ahead and let me hear it) did some steroids because I am a student of the human body and he put on a lot of weight and you cannot do that by working out and eating whey protien. He put on 3 inches in height and 55lbs of lean muscle mass in a 1 1/2 years, i know all about roids he was prolly on HGH and took some roids when he was redshirted b/c they don't make redshirt guys piss. Cushing was not on the board when cleveland wanted to pick (they wanted to pick 20-25) any of these 1st rounders Big james out of OSU would be better in the 4-3....not a 3-4 guy. finally Mangini is content with the jets defensive players aquired. Mangini is a lot like Bill B. out of New England he prefers veterans.......I agree with this on defense, I like brains over brawm in a 3-4. New england won super bowls b/c their defense was smart. Pittsburgh is simular however they have the personal to have brawn too and sadly I think they have the 'perfect' defense. Dont cry if we didn't get any big name guys for linebacking look at James Harrision he climbed out the gutter....its all about finding diamonds in the rough and then molding them into football players. I believe Alex Hall has this ability....

We didn't buy into the hype. We didn't trade away quality players for nothing. We did pick up an offensive lineman and even though its not a sexy pick, this fellow is going to help us run the ball better with what we have, and he will enable us to slow down the ratbirds and squeelers blitzes something we didn't do very well last year. Everyone is complaining about defense, but our offense ranked 30th in the league. I believe our defense would have looked better if they weren't on the field all day. We didn't score an offensive touchdown in five games, that is pathetic. So I like the offensive additions, especially after receiving two defensive starters from the Jets. Mangenius, took a couple players he knew would fit his system, rather than reaching for some folks who might, that sounds a little like bellichuckles, but hey he wins. Until we can develop some talent, we are in a rebuilding process, so why not pick players who can be a part of that process. folks, I just want to say I am thrilled with this years draft.

However when the Browns traded down I felt that same feeling I did when they moved up in 07 to get Quinn. Nobody in this draft was worth paying top 15 money. I think Alex mack was a good choice, Fraley is a good guy but he is nto a complete Center He is not good in the run game. If you watch Alex macks youtube videos he clearly can play the pass and run (and did so against USC). Mangini wants a certain breed of players and character has a lot to do with. Rey Malaluga had some of the field issues, so I guess he will fit right in down in Cinnci LOL. I would of been happy to get him However, I feel the OSU WR can replace Braylon after he leaves in free angency. He is a big receiver that played a high level in a competitve confrence. He is a complete receiver. I though Beanie wells would have been a good selection too but, Mangini likes Vets and with the Noah guy out of Green Bay aquired I did not see them taking a RB any higher than round 5. The 3 "scrubs" we got from NY, are not really scrubs, they started and to be honest with you they are upgrades from Terry Cousins, Sean Jones and shaun smith. So i am not going to complain I think we Jobed the jets in that trade. The later we take a player the less we pay him so i agreed with trading down. I rate the draft so far as a B-. But there were nto great players out there, this draft class was quite weak and I believe Mangini believes the defense will be OK and passing up on some of these offensive guys would be dumb.

I think we got a lesson in how to run a business from the Seahawks. They drafted our man before us, then they trade their 2nd round pick for a 1st rounder NEXT year. That is good football business. This draft has sure put a damper on my hopes for next year. Just awful. I can't even finish my hot wings. This draft has made me sick as well.
