Cleveland Browns (2012 season)

I would not mind them selecting Cousins but the price certainly have to be right. Don't know how highly he is thought of by other teams but I think he is a very nice arm and learned quite a bit while at Michigan State.

CLEVELAND -- Add receiver Justin Blackmon, quarterbacks Brandon Weeden and Kirk Cousins, running back Trent Richardson and cornerback Morris Claiborne to the list of 30 players the Browns will bring in for pre-draft visits, league sources said.

Already on the list are a handful of players, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill, defensive end Whitney Mercilus and Virginia Tech running back David Wilson.

Of the newcomers on the list, Blackmon, Claiborne and Richardson are all on the Browns' radar with their No. 4 overall pick. Weeden and Cousins would be candidates for the No. 22 and No. 37 overall picks, or earlier if the Browns trade up in the first round.

They have a league-high 13 picks in this draft, and will undoubtedly do some wheeling and dealing.

In addition to the visits, the Browns will conduct private campus workouts with some of their prospects, including Tannehill.

Pro Football Weekly Nolan Nawrocki said on a conference call Wednesday that he favors Richardson for the Browns to Blackmon, whom he feels has character concerns.

Every player on that list could make this team better, perhaps even significantly, except for Tannehill (I don't think Weeden and Cousins would necessarily help the QB position, but they would offer a younger backup who would be anxious to get better and be more of a team player than Wallace at a draft position that might not kill us). So guess who the Browns will take?

IF there was a chance to trade down more than once and stockpile 2nd and 3rd round picks that'd be my best case scenario for the 4th pick. No way in hell they pull it off but in my IMO adding more picks in the 25-75 range is better than where they're at now. Because now it's probably (oh shit push the panic button) and select Tannehill at 4 followed by twelve straight years of picking in the top 5 and missing the playoffs...and sucking ass in FA every year.

<insert pick of grounds crew from major league here>
They're shitty.

Browns inquired about Bradford

Views43990Comments31

08:09 AM ET 03.29 | Boy, it isn't easy being Colt McCoy these days. "His name came up, not from us," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Wednesday morning. "Clubs inquired. But there was no consideration whatsoever on our part (to trade Bradford)." Fisher would not confirm the Browns were one of the teams. "I prefer not to get into specifics about the conversations. I can say there were teams that inquired," Fisher said. This would be the second time the Browns tried to snatch Bradford. Prior to the 2010 draft, President Mike Holmgren made a last-ditch offer to move up from No. 7 to No. 1.

Gotta love the journalism coming out of the "world wide leader". Nowhere in the article does it say the Browns inquired. Nowhere. They don't even cite an anonymous source. All they have is Jeff Fischer saying that "teams" have inquired...so, naturally, they go with "Browns inquired about Bradford". Did anybody in that company actually go to journalism school? :lol:

Inquired about Bradford = "Hey? You guys still got Bradford, right?THen I guess you won't need one of those top 2 picks for a QB..."

That is inquiring...sad ESPN doesn't even try anymore.

Let me paraphrase something I heard from Mike Mayock:

"The NFL is so franchise-QB crazy now, that somebody will pick Tannehill too high."

followed by:

"The Browns have to take Tannehill at #4."

Do these drooling idiots even listen to themselves? Somebody will "pick Tannehill too high" or the Browns "have to pick Tannehill at #4".

WTF? :lol:

That said, if we pick a project QB at #4 when we have so many other needs, and may well be in position to win the Barkley sweepstakes next year, I will probably fly to Berea, devour about $20 worth of Taco Bell smothered in fire sauce, and shart all over the front door handles of Browns HQ.

My wife came home tonight talking about the list of guys thay are looking at in pre-draft workouts...I told her I can get behind any pick at #4, and at any of the other spots...unless it's Tannehill at #4, in which case I will burn my Browns stuff and become a Steelers fan.

This also assumes Tannehill is a guaranteed franchise QB, which is Mike Hart-like in it's Baghdad Bob-ness

Apparently, his physical skills are off-the-charts. But, he's started 19 college games. I watched a couple of Aggie games last year, and never came away impressed with him. In fact, I was in awe of how fast he went "zero to retard" against Texas on Thanksgiving night. I never would have pegged him as a serious QB prospect...let alone a top-5 pick.

It would take a special kind of stupid to draft that big of a project at #4 with so many needs. Sadly, it's something I would never put past the clowns. :(
