Here is Ourlads picks for the Browns in 2010.

1-7 CB Joe Haden - Florida

2-38 QB Colt McCoy - Texas

3-71 DE/OLB Thaddeus Gibson - Ohio St

3-85 DT Geno Atkins - Georgia

3-92 RB Anthony Dixon - Miss St

5-134 WR Taylor Price - Ohio

5-137 LB Perry Riley - LSU

5-146 DE Clifton Geathers - S Carolina

6-177 DE Danny Batten - S Dakota St

6-186 FB Rashawn Jackson - Virginia

I would be ok with this but I'd prefer Ben Tate over Anthony Dixon...less miles & the RG/RT situation would be a question.

Hello,

I have in my diabolical hands the 2010 Spring Draft Report by Kiper & thought i should share with the community his selections for the Browns:

Rd 1 7th overall: Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma St

Rd 2 38th overall: Colt McCoy QB Texas

Rd 3 71st overall: Ricky Sapp LB Clemson

Rd 3 85th overall: Chad Jones S LSU

Rd 3 92nd overall: Jimmy Graham TE Miami, Fl

No he didnt just take his top 100 value board & just throw out players to the team in draft order he did put some thought into it. Discuss peeps

Ok so i'm appreciating all the attention Mangini & company paid to the WR corps by picking up Robiskie & Massaquoi. I also dont mind Bennett coming in for a workout. He's a nice option as an experienced #2 WR which really would take the pressure off the 2 rooks this year if he's signed. Yeah he broke his leg last year but the untold story is that he was ready to come back after 5 weeks. Linehan overreacted and IR'd him cuz he was dealing with his player mutiny early on.

Anyways i went to browns site & sniffed around. There isnt a WR's coach on the roster. None not even and assistant. Is Daboll going to coach OC, QB (what he was with NYJ LY) and WR? Its hard to believe they dont have someone on deck here.

Howdy,

OK Winslow was on Sirius around 2 pm est & he had a few things to say about the Browns.

1) he never talked to mangini. kokinis called him and asked him if he wanted to go to TB. It was a 1 day 1 shot deal there and he jumped at it. 

2) when asked about who should start for the browns in 2009 he said after a good pause that it should be brady quinn. he noted his calmness, command of the huddle & between the lines said that quinn has more upside than anderson. he never dinged anderson though.

3) basically said he wanted to stay in cleveland because of quinn but that savage bungled any thing after the staph stuff. 

4) he also said that braylon edwards wants to go to NY and would love to play for the giants. he said "its his type of city".

Discuss.....
