Cleveland Browns Draft Reset

Regardless of your take on the first round of the draft, the Browns and the rest of the NFL get ready to go back to work tonight for rounds two and three. The Browns have the fifth pick in the second round (37th overall) , and the fourth pick in the third round (67th overall). Here are the picks they have left after the trade with the Vikings yesterday-

-Round 2, pick 5

-Round 3, pick 4

-Round 4, pick 5

-Round 5, pick 25

-Round 6, pick 34

-Round 6, pick 35

-Round 7, pick 38

-Round 7, pick 30

The sixth and seventh round picks are compensatory, which means they cannot be traded. They are also towards the end of those rounds and if we’re honest don’t hold a ton of value for potential contributors to the team this year. At best those picks are for developing players. [Read more...]

NFL Draft: Grossi’s mock nabs Browns Richardson, Hill and shows lots of movement

The Cleveland Browns are getting closer to draft day and so are the pundits who are attaching their names to mock drafts. Tony Grossi is going all out this season at his new home at WKNR and honestly I am buying a lot of his logic. In this latest version the Browns get Trent Richardson at #4 and Stephen Hill at #22. While those are certainly interesting notes for Browns fans, what is also interesting is what happens to a couple names that have been linked to the Browns like Justin Blackmon and Ryan Tannehill.

Ryan Tannehill will “drop” to Miami at #8 and Justin Blackmon drops all the way to Buffalo at #10.

It all sounds pretty feasible really. Then again with so many variables moving around in my head anything sounds feasible to me right about now. Not a single guy rumored to be a first rounder feels like a bust with ten days to go, yet we know there will be more than one for sure.

Imagine what that draft would feel like for Bills fans. They keep Stevie Johnson in free agency, add Mario Williams on defense and then get the draft’s highest rated wide receiver all the way down at #10? That, my friends is an exciting off-season. I guess Phil Savage was right when he said to root for Buffalo.
