• 2 Days 2 Go!!!!

  There are no changes in the top 12.  I still see Haloti Ngata turning in that ugly green Duck's uniform for a Brown's jersey.  That is the benefit of being one of a few teams who play the 3-4 defense.  Other drafts have Ngata going to Buffalo, but their system calls for someone like Broderick Bunkley's build.  There is no way we let the big 340 pound lineman slide to Baltimore.  If we don't get Ngata, look for the Savage to select Gabe Watson from Michigan in the second round.  Watson is 6'3 1/2" and a whopping 339 pounds.  The knock on Watson is that he takes plays off.  That could be a matter of conditioning and maturity.  Either way, guys of this size and skill are rare and the Browns will look to pick up one of the two.  Additionally, if we don't get Ngata (because Buffalo makes him their selection) we will take Bunkley.  There are plenty of rumors suggesting the Browns will take Kamerion Wimbley (LB) but the pick will be Bunkley because of his size (300 lbs).   Houston Reggie Bush RB New Orleans D'Brickashaw Ferguson OT Tennessee Matt Leinart QB NY Jets Mario Williams DE Green Bay AJ Hawk LB San Francisco Vernon Davis TE Oakland Vince Young QB Buffalo Broderick Bunkley DT Detroit Micheal Huff DB Arizona Jay Cutler QB St. Louis Jimmy Williams DE Cleveland Haloti Ngata DT Baltimore Winston Justice LB Philadelphia Nick Mangold C Denver DeAngelo Williams WR Miami Manny Lawson OT Minnesota Ernie Sims LB Dallas Chad Greenway LB San Diego Tye Hill CB Kansas City Chad Jackson WR New England Bobby Carpenter LB San Francisco Kamerion Wimbley CB Tampa Bay Ashton Youboty CB Cincinnati Mercedes Lewis TE NY Giants Eric Winston CB Chicago Johnathon Joseph WR Carolina Donte Whitner S Jacksonville LenDale White RB NY Jets Laurence Maroney RB Indianapolis Antonio Cromartie DB Seattle  Mathais Kiwanuka DE Pittsburgh Sinorice Moss WR   Posted Apr 27 2006, 04:24 PM by D.

• Mock Draft Count Day 3

  Well boys and girls, we are three days away.  Three days until we fill a need.  For the first time in a long time the Browns are not drafting for a savior.  We are drafting for a good contributing player this year.  Now if that doesn't get you excited - you are not a true Browns fan.  So here is my Round 1 Projections - Tomorrow's updates will have what notes on what the teams are thinking with their selection.   - I'd love to know what you think.
