The Browns don't have a pick in the third round -- at least not yet -- but they very well could move up after three first-round trades yesterday. Or, when we're on the clock in the fourth round, we could move down to own the entire sixth round of picks!
12:20 PM: No action for the Browns in the third round, though it's worth noting that the Cincinnati Bengals were able to get Michael Johnson at that point.
12:30 PM: Round four, the Browns select USC linebacker Kaluka Maiava at No. 104 overall.
12:53 PM: We're probably in for a boring stretch here. The Browns aren't scheduled to pick again in the fourth round or the fifth round. Right now, this is what we're facing in round six:
2:00 PM: Round 4 has just ended, meaning we're still a little over a round away from the Browns being on the clock again. RB Rashad Jennings is still available. Personally, when Round 6 rolls around, I think I'll be on J'Nathan Bullock watch.
2:22 PM: I just read that Maiava, our fourth-round draft choice, is the nephew of The Rock (Dwayne Johnson, formerly of the WWE). Not that it means anything, I just like reading about connections.
3:57 PM: All right, I stared at the draft tracker for a long time, but no trades involving the Browns came. The sixth round is finally here, and we should be on the clock shortly.
4:08 PM: The Browns took CB Don Carey from Norfolk St. at No. 177 overall. Can't say I know a single thing about him yet. Two more sixth-round picks to follow (see above for schedule).
This is an open thread for Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Please keep all (or most) of today's draft discussion here.

lifetime fan
I just can’t knock what the Browns are tring to do here. I’ll always be a big Browns fan and for that I guess I’ll always be taking my lumps. But I see what they’re woking towards, and I just hope they know a little more than I do about these vets that they’re bringing over. If we’re gonna win soon these guys need to produce, and play together like a team. There’s a lot to be said for overachievers playing together as one unit instead of having one or two prima donnas that no one is going to stick it out for.
doggrad87 - April 26, 2009
My impression of the former Jets players now on the Browns roster is that they have just enough talent and youth left in them to help the Browns improve from 4-12 and to help keep things from getting too God-awful whilst in rebuilding mode. It will be interesting to see whether Mangini and Kokinis are able to find any easter eggs hidden in the 6th round.
JustBob - April 26, 2009
Awesome Day One!
Let’s keep up the momentum-Gotta fill up camp with players. He’s right on with this strategy-it’s time tested and superbowl-ring approved.
Maddacci - April 26, 2009
Andre Brown, Rashad Jennings still on the board after I wake up? Interesting…
Lawrence Sidbury and Duke Robinson too?
rufio - April 26, 2009
any guesses?
APV - April 26, 2009
No action from the Browns in Round 3; time to see what they do in Round 4 here.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Looks like we got a USC Linebacker after all…
rufio - April 26, 2009
Yep
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Yeah… they played a 4-3 scheme right? So this is their non-starting LB?
tmptplayer - April 26, 2009
I think they did a couple different things, so I don’t know if “starter” really means anything. He was their 4th LB behind the much heralded trio, for sure.
Gotta say I would have went with Sidbury or Jennings there.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Is he gonna be suited to play ILB or OLB
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
Gotta be ILB. Maybe even SS.
Ryan Kelsey - April 26, 2009
Im not sure about this pick. We already have Bell that we took in the 4th last year
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
First reaction from Yahoo!:
Analysis: Maiava is the unsung linebacker on the USC defense, but is a very good prospect in his own right. He is tough as nails and will compete inside for astarting MLB spot in the Browns’ 3-4 defense.
Gonna be ILB.
Ryan Kelsey - April 26, 2009
Actually, he was their third starter. Matthews was more of a situational linebacker, but since USC played so many spread offenses he was on the field a lot. USC’s elephant formation calls for four linebackers on the field with two playing either a 5 or 7 stand up tech.
gahnki - April 26, 2009
I saw that the Giants took Ramses Barden in the 3rd. With Nicks and Barden, they definitely won’t be looking for BE anytime soon.
talonk - April 26, 2009
Kaluka Maiava??? An undersized OLB in the 3-4? He will get swallowed up by every single LT/RT in this league. Another disappointing pick. Wow…the ManKok regime is off to a terrible start. How about Rahard Jennings as RB of future? DJ Moore for CB depth? Lawrence Sidbury, truer OLB potential?
5’11, 228 lbs, 4.8 40
Too small to play any LB position in the 3-4 and too slow to switch to safety (if that was even a thought). This draft is just getting worse and worse by the day. Thank goodness the draft is only 2 days long. My weekend is shot.
BarkN - April 26, 2009
So you’re kind of “glass-half-empty” kinda guy?
doowop - April 26, 2009
didn’t the stat line say he was 2nd team All-Pac 10? how bad could he be? and he’s coming from a good program. i’m actually pretty pleased with this.
Dawg Nuts - April 26, 2009
In a 3-4, the undersized OLB plays ILB. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about him matching up with tackles… the better question is whether this guy is smart enough to handle the dynamic role needed to read plays, stop the run and fall back into coverage. So far, ManKok has only drafted smart hard nosed players, so I’ll opt to wait before I judge this pick. But it does seem highly questionable to me…
tmptplayer - April 26, 2009
Looking over depth charts of teams that play 3-4 this is what I’ve found for ILBs:
Ravens: Lewis 6’1 250, Suggs 6’3 260
Steelers: Farrior 6’2 243, Harrison 6’0 242
Patriots: Mayo 6’1 242, Thomas 6’2 270
Cowboys: James 6’2 240, Ware 6’4 257
I’m not here to flame or get flamed. But this is a special teams pick at best.
BarkN - April 26, 2009
Looking at ridiculously talented linebackers? Or depth charts? Because I see you looking at ridiculously talented LBs.
Malava will get bigger. Probably not Suggs or Thomas’ size, but I don’t think Mayo’s size is out of the question.
The real reason this pick appears bad is because he doesn’t have the speed to compliment DQ. I don’t see Mangini picking that type of LB unless he is a freak athlete who also happens to be a great “football player”, meaning it would probably be a top 10 pick.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Bigger maybe, but not taller. And bigger on a small frame isn’t necessarily good or bad. It depends on the person.
But it seems you and me got something going on. Anyways, it’s as I typed it. I looked over depth charts and it just so happens they are great backers. Sure I could have looked at other teams who play the 3-4, but I chose the top 4 teams and went to yahoo sports and look at DEPTH CHARTS. According to Yahoo those are the hts/wts of their ILB’s. So if you have an issue with me, as it seems, you might want to redirect it to Yahoo and let them know you don’t agree with what they have listed. That’s how I see it.
As far as my previous post about Maiva, I sent that out of pure emotion. I’m sure the kid is talented and can help us. whether it’s on defense or special teams, we could use him. i love his heart and attitude. So as I previously stated, I will trust ManKok and reserve judgement and criticism and root for the guys picked and acquired.
I do find it comical that prior to him being drafted he was listed at 5’11 228 and in todays paper he’s 6’0 230. So whatever magical pill you felt he could take to get bigger, it’s working.
BarkN - April 28, 2009
Settle down, dude. He’s not taking issue with your facts, he’s taking issue with who you’re comparing him to. You compared him to some of the best ILB’s in the league, but he’s a fourth round draft choice. Of course he’s not going to be that size, because if he was he’d probably be a first or second round pick. That’s the kind of player you get in the fourth round. So complaining that he’s not as big as some of the top LB’s in the league is not really fair. He’ll never the player that Ware or Harrison or Lewis or Suggs are, he’s going to be a backup who might get more playing time depending on the quality of his play.
When you say you’re looking at “depth charts”, it looks as though you’re only looking at the starters, not the backups. You should compare him to the backup ILB on other teams to get a more fair comparison. That’s all he was saying.
Buckeye Brad - April 28, 2009
Brad, I completely agree with your assessment that he’s most likely a back up and that’s probably who I should have compared him to. Absolutely. But whether he’s a starter or back up, size is still an issue.
But at the same time, when you draft players, regardless of round, you hope that they can come in and play or start right away. Especially when you are drafting a player who plays a position of need. If we took a LT in the 4th round. I’d say wasted pick, but he could be a good back up, because there’s no way he replaces Thomas. Right? But when you pick a LB and LB is a priority need, your first reaction is, can this kid start. At least that was mine. And at the time. Again at the time, I wasn’t pleased with the pick based on his size and the scheme we run. I have since retracted that a couple times now.
BarkN - April 28, 2009
forgive me, but aren’t Ware and Suggs (and i think Thomas, and maybe Harrison) OLBs? i mean, D. Ware had, like, 600 sacks last year. the other ILB in BAL was Bart Scott, if i’m not mistaken. let’s get the right facts first.
DontCallMeJoey - April 28, 2009
get my facts right first huh? well again, genius, because you must have missed it or forgot I wrote it. I got those straight from Yahoo Sports. Check for yourself.
BarkN - April 28, 2009
You included OLB in your analysis of an ILB’s size. That’s getting your facts wrong. It’s like calling a center small b/c he isn’t as big as Jason Peters or Joe Thomas.
kwoog - April 28, 2009
Yahoo! messes up their depth charts by putting some ILBs at OLB and vice versa. If u look at our Yahoo! depth chart, it has dqwell as an OLB
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 28, 2009
From NFL.com
“Wrestling with ball carriers is something that seems all so natural for Kaluka, whose family tree reads like the “who’s who” of the professional wrestling industry. He is the grandson of professional wrestler Neff Maiava, who was known for walking on a bed of nails that they would bring into the ring. He had a renowned feud with Killer Kowalski, known as the most feared performer of his era. Neff also wrote a children’s book called “Da Grouchy Moocher Boogie Man.”
Neff was related to famed Hawaiian wrestler Peter Maiava, whose daughter married pro wrestler Rocky Johnson. Their son, Duane Johnson, also Kaluka’s uncle, played football at Miami before gaining wide attention as professional wrestler “The Rock”. Other wrestlers within Kaluka’s family are the “Wild Samoans,” Afa and Sika Anoai, along with Afa’s three wrestling sons are Samula Anoa’i (The Great Samu), Larry Anoa’i (L.A. Smooth) and Afa Anoa’i Jr. (Afa Jr.). Junior Anoai (Afa and Sika’s brother) is the father of former WWF World Champion, Yokozuna.
Afa’s daughter married American wrestler Gary Albright. Jimmy Snuka, Jimmy Snuka Jr., Mr. Harry Fuji, Junior Maivia, The Barbarian and Haku (aka Meng) are all distantly related. In addition to the wrestling family tree, Kaluka’s father, Scott Mahoney, attended and played football for Kamehameha Schools and the University of Colorado as an offensive lineman. His brother, Kai, also played football at Colorado and UCLA. "
e.c. matter - April 26, 2009
actually doowop, i know you are basing this statement off my posts. But i’m not that kind of guy. I’m actually a pretty positive person and generally a half full guy. I’m sorry I just don’t like what I’ve seen based on where we picked and who was available and team needs.
Listen I could absolutely be wrong. For the Browns sake and my sanity I hope I am. But based on skill level and measurables, there are more misses than hits in this draft so far.
BarkN - April 26, 2009
It’s easier to follow if you hit the “reply” button when you’re responding to a specific post.
(Where you at, Brad???)
kwoog - April 26, 2009
Were Jennings and Brown both availble?
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
As of No. 129 overall, they are both still available. However, there is still another entire round+ before we pick again. Still keeping an eye out for potential trades though — easier to sneak up into the fifth round than the fourth with what we have to give up.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Would 2 6th rounders=1 5th?
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
Since our first sixth-rounder is high, we could probably get a mid-range pick 5th rounder. If there’s a player we really want though, it may cost a fifth-rounder next year to be thrown in as well.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Andre Brown was taken by the Giants at No. 129 overall. Jennings still available.
ESPN’s Draft Cast is pretty nice, if you haven’t checked it out.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
ESPN reporting that the Seahawks are letting Leroy Hill become a free agent afterall.
macasson - April 26, 2009
Hmm, I guess I learned something. I didn’t know a franchise tag could be withdrawn.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
The Eagles did the same thing a few years back with Corey Simon.
e.c. matter - April 26, 2009
One more dead round to go …. so maybe 90-120 minutes til our next pick?
talonk - April 26, 2009
Yeah, I’d say about two hours away, assuming teams take an average of 3.5 minutes to get their picks in.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
In the 6th Gartrell Johnson might be there, or maybe Jeremiah Jonhson
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
Gatrell went at the end of the 4th to SD as a compensatory pick
talonk - April 26, 2009
I just love how often some of these picks are traded ….
In the 5th round, pick #5, #141 overall, Denver selects Kenny McKinley, WR, South Carolina. But that pick started with us, and then went to Philly, New England, Baltimore, and then to Denver.
talonk - April 26, 2009
And lo and behold, the first punter is drafted 6th on the 5th round, Kevin Huber, from University of Cincinnati to the Bengals. Guess he won’t need to pack up his things at all.
No kickers have been drafted yet.
talonk - April 26, 2009
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Don’t know where else to put this, but honestly Chris, this guy needs to be replaced:

kwoog - April 26, 2009
yeah, I caught that yesterday. Tis why I flagged that post from “Orange Helmat” ….
I agree, a site mod should not be advocating trolling, in any circumstance. Ever!
talonk - April 26, 2009
Pretty bad that he couldn’t even spell helmet correctly. But, you’re right, a moderator shouldn’t be doing that, but that just shows their immaturity.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Actually he did that misspelling intentionally I am sure as he thinks we are door mats, etc.
talonk - April 26, 2009
You might be giving him too much credit ;)
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
I love the one guy on there too, who is their co-writer, who does nothing but trash every pick we make. Then he states that we didn’t address defense at all, when we addressed something with the 5th pick in the draft. The lack of knowledge is both amusing and annoying at the same time.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Which are all fair criticisms of any random poster, of course. But we’re talking about a site moderator advocating trolling. I thought SBN was above that, and whoever makes the more “macro” decisions would be very interested to know about this.
kwoog - April 26, 2009
It’s like the site is run by cleveland.com posters.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Ricky Jean-Francois is an interesting name to keep on the mind for our next pick. He has first round talent, but a ten cent head. This probably means they won’t draft him, but he would be great value for a 6th rounder.
gahnki - April 26, 2009
I can’t believe he is still on the board in the 6th.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Niners got him late in Round 7 as a compensatory pick
talonk - April 26, 2009
Nice pick for them. He’s really, really dumb- I think he scored a 4 on the wonderlic, and he’s had many academic and team suspensions while at LSU, but he’s someone you can take a flyer on and see if he can stay out of trouble long enough to play for you.
gahnki - April 26, 2009
I see Javon Ringer is still on the board, I wonder if we’ll look at him in the 6th round. I’d like to see us grab a RB and a DB in the sixth.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
He’s gone at the end of the 5th. Jennings is still available.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
I don’t see Denver or Atlanta taking him, so its up to KC I think
talonk - April 26, 2009
Nate Davis from Ball St just went to the Niners …. I’ll be curious if he ever makes it to backup status.
talonk - April 26, 2009
And the first kicker goes to Dallas, Buehler, the USC kid at the end of the 5th round
talonk - April 26, 2009
We’ll be on the clock in a few minutes. Rashad Jennings is still out there.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Here we go…
kwoog - April 26, 2009
Don Carey, CB, Norfolk St.
woodsmeister - April 26, 2009
hmmmmm
talonk - April 26, 2009
Don Carey, CB, Norfolk St.
Don’t know anything about him.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Another high-character guy according to ESPN.com.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Here’s more:
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
And from The Sporting News War Room:
talonk - April 26, 2009
Sound like a guy who has talent but will need some seasoning, but that’s the kind of player you take in round 6. Maybe he’s another Brandon McDonald.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Man, check out these quotes from the same source, but on Veikune:
kwoog - April 26, 2009
just goes to show how varied the scouts are on almost every player. We have to trust the Browns scouts on the guys they like.
talonk - April 26, 2009
So will Carey be a special teams guy then?
talonk - April 26, 2009
12 more picks to go ….
talonk - April 26, 2009
Browns don't go to the Wells!
Another draft and another mistake. I will be the first to admit that the Browns made some good draft day decisions however they also made some bad ones. Like not drafting Beanie. I am sorry but the only thing that stands in the way of this young man doing very well in the NFL is a case of the injury bug.
I will state that I am an OSU fan and a Beanie fan which is probably clouding my perceptions but hey… this guy can and will compete in the NFL. He has the size and the power. I think at that late in the round the browns could have been setting good with using that pick for that player.
brownsfan89 - April 26, 2009
this seems a day late and a dollar short. So are you advocating that we traded two of our 2nd round picks to move back into the end of the first round to selct Wells? If so, please state that, because what you stated above just sounds like a long whiney rant.
talonk - April 26, 2009
Listen, I’m a huge Buckeyes fan also and I think Wells is going to be a great back, but “a case of the injury bug” is a big deal in the NFL, especially for a running back. If he can’t stay healthy then he’s not worth a first round pick. We won’t know for a few years down the road, of course, but Mack looks like he’ll be a great player for many years in Cleveland.
Here’s the thing, though — I would love to see every Buckeyes player go to the Browns but that will never happen. We can’t let our Buckeye fandom obscure our viewpoint when evaluating players. There are many great players out there that aren’t OSU guys, and just because we haven’t seen them play as much doeesn’t mean they’re not great players. We have to trust that our FO knows what they’re doing and made the right choice for our team.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
two more picks to go …
talonk - April 26, 2009
still have a chance at Rashard … one more pick in front of us
talonk - April 26, 2009
JEnnings please
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
We just had a little run on DB’s so it’s probably good the Browns took Carey when they did.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Wow another CB, Coye Francies, San Jose St
talonk - April 26, 2009
Sporting News take:
How did this guy fall this far?
talonk - April 26, 2009
Yeah, a certain second-round pick? Was it the character issues?
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
its gotta be …..i havent checked profiles elsewhere yet tho
talonk - April 26, 2009
Scouts, Inc. gave him a much higher rating than Carey. I wonder why he lasted this long, maybe the Browns got lucky here.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
I really like the Francies pick. A lot.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Oddly similar to Eric Wright’s situation.
gahnki - April 26, 2009
Another CB — Coye Francies, San Jose St.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Some character issues for him — he was arrested for illegal weapons possesion in ’07 and dismissed from Oregon St. for violating team rules.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Next two don’t need a back. There’s still a chance for Jennings!
NM Dawg - April 26, 2009
last pick coming ….
talonk - April 26, 2009
James Davis, RB, Clemson
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
James Davis, RB Clemson …. I like it!!!
talonk - April 26, 2009
Yeah, me too. He should be a definite upgrade over Jason Wright.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
i know rufio wanted Jennings …. but I think Davis is good as well
talonk - April 26, 2009
SWEET! I have loved this kid from the get-go! I thought he was a 3rd round pick after the college season. Love this pick!
Bernie19Kosar - April 26, 2009
Our replacement for Jason Wright.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Assuming the draft ends for us here, I’m glad all of our deals dealt with positions of need. We didn’t draft any QB, FB, TE, OT, or OG. We didn’t take a DL, but we got Coleman in the Jets deal.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
Now the cheers for Bullock to last until after the draft begin.
Chris Pokorny - April 26, 2009
+1
rufio - April 26, 2009
A little upset we went with Davis over Jennings. There has got to be a red flag on him that every team knows about. Same with Jean-Francois.
the steelers’ draft doesn’t really scare me much.
Glad Baltimore didn’t take much offense, but you know Ozzie is one of the best in the business.
Bengals looking like they drafted well, especially if Andre Smith isn’t a bust. Pretty big ‘if’.
rufio - April 26, 2009
I guess we’ll get to see twice a year if it was a good decision to pass on Maualuga. If he ends up being a good LB you know Browns fans (and Grossi) are going to hold it against ManKok.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Haha…Grossi. Lost a lot of respect for him over the past couple weeks.
How does Bud Shaw still have a job?
Maualuga and Keith Rivers could be pretty solid for the Bengals. They really need an edge rusher. I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Johnson was terrible, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an all pro.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Shaw was in rare form this morning.
e.c. matter - April 26, 2009
I don’t even read him anymore. It only infuriates me and I have better things to do than tell Bud Shaw exactly why he is an idiot.
rufio - April 28, 2009
I don’t know how Shaw and Livingston still have a job. They’re both hacks.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Yeah, I have completely stopped reading their stuff. I make fun of Hoynes and think Grossi is just ok, but Livingston and Shaw are 100% irrelevant at this point.
Ryan Kelsey - April 26, 2009
Same here. I’ll still read Grossi and Hoynes’ pieces on the Browns and Indians, even though I think they both could do a lot better, but I haven’t bothered reading a Shaw and Livingston article in over two years, at least. If you want to know why the newspaper industry is having trouble, the fact that these two hacks still have a job is a good example. They can churn out meaningless garbage every week and still get paid for it.
Buckeye Brad - April 27, 2009
I hate it how we took Davis over Jennings. Nothing against Davis, but hes not as good as jennnigs.
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
Rashad Jennings finally off the board to Jacksonville. Hoping to see Bullock not drafted and in our training camp.
rufio - April 26, 2009
Also read a scouting report at the Broncos’ blog that quoted Malava as saying he was upset he didn’t run in the 4.5s. 4.18 short shuttle is pretty good for a LB.
He’s already smart, if he can pack 10 lbs on, and actually has 4.5 speed, he could end up being a good pick. Looks possible to me. USC has to have a pretty good training staff, so I am not counting on him becoming a freak athlete all of a sudden.
rufio - April 26, 2009
And Mr Irrelevant is … Ryan Succop, K South Carolina, to the Chiefs
talonk - April 26, 2009
And Bullock, was not drafted, Chris your wish came true.
talonk - April 26, 2009
Next year we need to draft a RB early. And i wouldnt mind us signing Andre Hall cuz he is a FA
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
I’d like to see what Harrison has before they throw a good pick at a running back.
e.c. matter - April 26, 2009
I am a HUGE Harrison fan but he isnt a feature back. We would need a big, tough back to go with him. That is one reason i wanted jennings so much
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
I think at this point a feature back is a luxury the Browns can’t afford. Too many holes elsewhere to use an early pick on a back.
I think Lewis’ eventual replacement will be a pass catching back (like Harrison, perhaps) paired with a bruising goal line back. Those backs are available in the middle rounds.
e.c. matter - April 26, 2009
We’re going to need one soon. Jamal is on his victory lap.
gahnki - April 26, 2009
Depending on how this season progresses, I could definately see us being in a position to take a RB high next year. Of course, way too many things are going to happen in the next year for us to even bother trying to predict our ’10 draft.
Buckeye Brad - April 26, 2009
Yea but next year we might need an RT, RG, DE, or RB. Im not saying we will but we might need to take one of those. I also wouldnt mind Eric Berry or Taylor Mays since Baltimore and Pitt both have elite safeties
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 26, 2009
I am already on the Eric Berry bandwagon.

Me too. That kind of safety only comes around once in a decade.

1. Wait to see how we look this year before you declare that we have “too many holes” to fill for next year’s draft.
2. Every team in the NFL needs a feature back, or at least a guy who plays bigger than Harrison to be #1 on the depth chart. I love Harrison, but I don’t want to see him try to carry the load. He clearly hasn’t been in games enough to this point, but I don’t want to see him get 20 carries/game. We need a guy that can do that and remain effective. I don’t think a “goal line” (I am picturing an aging Jerome Bettis) guy gets that done.
