they have said repeatedly that htey are going to follow the model that baltimore and NE used (building a team foundation and finding a qb to fit that team later). I dont think alex smith is that good to begin with, and he certainly isnt a cant miss prospect to prompt savage and crennel to take him.
sorry goofy, the browns arent going to be taking a qb at #3 unless alex smith blows everyone away at the combine.

I've never read a thing saying a QB is out of the question with the #3 pick. Not saying it isn't true, I just haven't seen it. Savage was the one that grabbed the Ravens QB in the first round, you know. Considering Crennel just got the job and it's totally stupid for any team to give away any clues on who their using their top pick on, I think I'd wait as it gets closer to draft time to make that statement.
Savante..you could very well be right about Johnson. A 3-4 design is much harder to build around as you know. Ideally, if he did put on 20-30 pounds, he'd be one hell of an edge rusher in that scheme. Maybe that is alot to ask out of him but I've seen quite a few guys at 240 play in a 3-4 with no problem. I guess the knock on Johnson is his ability to get out of blocks, which is obviously something he has to be good at to play the OLB position..that's why I thought the ILB would be better suited for him since the front 3 absorb alot of the blockers on the inside. Channing Crowder interests me as an ILB. So does Morrison from SD State..what a machine. One guy that seems like he's shooting up is Dan Cody..he's the ideal OLB/DE in that scheme.
If he can really kick butt in the combine, Marcus Spears is a guy I'm watching at a 3-4 DE position, as well as , Justin Tuck at OLB/DE
AS far as Alex Smith's arm strength goes, I'd say it's above average. His intellect is what sets him apart. I am interested to see how he fares in a system not designed around the shotgun.
