Well, obviously. I'd rater get veterans any day. I'm basing my draft picks right now on the team we have. If we pick up a decent nose tackle and/or pass rusher in free agency, then I'll reevaluate my choice.
As for Carpenter over Greenway, I don't know about that. There's a shot that Carp will be around for us in the second round. Damn, can you imagine if we got both? |

I definately like Carp over Greenway. I think at #12 Greenway is too high to pick. But I think our main needs is defense. Would love Hawk but that's not going to happen. Don't think Ngata will be there either. I'm just ready for draft day. Go Browns!! |

if the jets dont take d'brickshaw ferguson at #4, he could very well last until #8. buffalo will certainly take ferguson over ngata. if ferguson is off the board, then buffalo's pick is likely to be ngata.

So your saying that we shouldnt draft a player that plays in the defensive front seven because its risk?
How did Shawn Merriman play this year?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.  Or, maybe I was saying that you don't bank your success on an unproven player. The Chargers took Merriman because he was the best player on the board, not because they had a glaring hole at linebacker.

DW proved this offseason that it was not just the lesser competition, the kid can flat out play.
Iron, I don't think the browns are at the point yet where they can avoid banking their success on an unproven player.

The Browns aren't at the point where they can bypass any player because they think they are set at that players position. If they feel that Greenway is the best player left at #12, then by God they had better draft him. If they feel that another player is better, but they really need an LB, then that's not a good enough reason to take him. They need help everywhere, and BPA is the best way to go most times, especially when you're as bad as the Browns are.
