IF you were the Browns (Mock Draft poll, pick #7)

[EddyMac87]

I Know its been a few days since the last one, but this is what we have so far...

1) STL - Sam Bradford
2) DET - Ndamukong Suh
3) TB - Gerald McCoy
4) WASH-Russell Okung
5) KC - Eric Berry
6) SEA - Brian Bulaga

So should the browns take?

[EddyMac87]

Damn, I meant to put Dan williams up there, but i guess i missed him..

[Den615]

This is a tough one. I would say Haden, but they just traded for Sheldon Brown. They spent a lot of money on ILB this year...They apear set at OLB with Roth and Gocong... Holmgen says he doesnt like Clausen....

Hmmm...Dez Bryant? Reach for Earl Thomas? IDK...I'm gonna have to think about this one for a little while.

Haden, there no way they pass him up, i say they could take Thomas here to though.

Haden, there no way they pass him up, i say they could take Thomas here to though.

They just paid big money (plus draft picks) for Sheldon Brown. Plus Eric Wright is an above average corner. I think it would come down to Earl Thomas or Jimmy Clausen.

[TheBroncoEra]

Other, S Earl Thomas :salute!:

[Ohenhen12345]

Eric Berry, the already have Brown and Wright at corner, they need a playmaker like Berry.

[D_Broncs_913]

I think they might trade back....maybe the eagles plan on jumping and grabbing Eric Berry? They did bring him in for a workout.

[Amari24]

Eric Berry by far, Wright is a pretty good corner so they don't need Haden. If Eric Berry even falls to #7 they should be lucky.

[McSmashie]

Other.

Admit they are a complete joke and move to the CFL.

[Charlie Brown]

Other

Best safety available.

[FlowdaBroncoFan]

Other

Best safety available.

You would reach for Earl Thomas?

[McSmashie]

You would reach for Earl Thomas?

It depends on how thick Charlie's beer goggles are.

[Hoserman117]

Thomas. That'd give them a big time playmaker and round out a pretty decent secondary. I have no idea why they traded Wimbley though, it'd be nice to have some pass rush to go along with a secondary.

[Charlie Brown]

You would reach for Earl Thomas?

This doesn't have anything that goes along with what the Browns need. The options listed were:

Jason Pierre-Paul - DE
Derrick Morgan - DE
Rolando McClain - ILB
Joe Haden - CB
Anthony Davis - OT
Trent Williams - OT
Jimmy Clausen - QB
CJ Spiller - RB
Dez Bryant - WR
Other - specify

The Browns needed a CB. The Browns traded with the Eagles for one. So, you can check that off. The Browns needed an OLB. The Browns traded for and are high on Gocong. So, check that off for the time being. The Browns need an offensive tackle on the right side of the line. The Browns signed Pashos. So, check that off for the time being. So, now the Browns have OLB, RT, and CB checked off the need list for the time being.

So that leaves, according to the thread starter:

QB
RB
WR
ILB

The Browns have D'Qwell Jackson and Scott Fujita. So, do the Browns really need to spend a draft pick on another? No. So, that should be checked off the list. The Browns also just traded for Hillis. So, like it or not, that leaves the Browns with Harrison, Hillis, Davis, and Jennings at RB. So, really, no need to draft another running back for a crowded backfield.

So, that leaves QB, WR, and Other.

The Browns signed Delhomme and traded for Wallace. So, for the time being QB is not real high on the list. Also, Holmgren stated he's not particularly fond of this QB class. So, check off RB and QB.

That leaves just WR and "Other".

Is Dez Bryant a team player or is he a lone wolf type WR. Well, a lot of news has gone around about his personality issues. So, he doesn't exactly fit the mold of the type of reciever that Holmgren and Mangini like. So, I would count him out.

That leaves, "Other".

The Browns have a desperate need for a safety. Not just one safety but two starting safeties. The Browns need a SS and a FS. Eric Berry is off the board. The Browns current starting safeties (going into the season) are:

Abram Elam (not the greatest, should be a depth player)

and

Hank Poteat (who should also not be starting)

So, yea, the Browns need safeties quite badly.
