Dawgs By Nature

Shall I stay awake for this… set my alarm clock… or…..

Damn. Wish I could get it on my cellphone!

Take a nap. That’s what I plan on doing.

I admire the dedication of both of you.

Thanks Sir!

Not good at napping…. we’ll see if I awake in the early hours~ will leave the laptop on anyhow.

BERRY...BERRY....or bury the Browns

Dang- Right smack dab in the middle of the Cavs game.

Juannieboy - April 22, 2010 reply

Sad to hear you won’t be in the live thread until late, Chris.

Needless to say, I have no idea what’s going to happen and am pretty excited for the draft. I want to see what Holgrem does with our later picks, which unfortunately we have to wait until tomorrow/Saturday for.

But if tonight ends with us getting Eric Berry at No. 7, I will be truly happy about it.

I will try to do a few mobile comments via my phone, but based on how quickly you guys will be posting, I don’t think I’d be able to respond to specific comments.

which unfortunately we have to wait until tomorrow/Saturday for

maybe not, they make good trade bait.

if the browns don’t get berry i might jump off a bridge

sww2109 - April 22, 2010 reply

which bridge, ill jump with ya.

BrutalMovement - April 22, 2010 reply

damn this is exciting. I fucking love the draft

I wish I could do the Homer Simpson vulcan neck pinch, which he used to knock himself out until dinner time.

I’m going to punch someone’s face if we take Morgan. McShay’s an idiot.

Bernie’s neighbor better get the fuck out of here.

What’s the story behind that?

BrownDawg1409 - April 22, 2010 reply

bernie threatened to punch his neighbor if the browns did something, and then other people started threatening to punch bernie’s neighbor. so that guy better watch out.

I think Bernie said he went out of town, conditional upon our draft he might not be back until Monday

I’m excited Mangenius isn’t the one doing the drafting:)

Thank God

? He’s good in the draft. And how do you know he’s not? Are you in the War Room? Did he get sent out for coffee and Heckert locked the door behind him while Holmgren laughed uncontrollably in the corner till he nearly peed himself?

I thought so.

Jaws (The real Jaws) just said we’d take Spiller at 7.

Oh, hell no.

See to me I wouldn’t get to upset with that pick. Spiller will score from all over the field. IMO he will be a stud back. His injury history scares me a tad. That being said, I want Berry at 7

Grockcubs - April 22, 2010 reply

That’d be a ridiculous… no, stupid amount of RBs of that type.

I just tend to disagree, no biggie.

Grockcubs - April 22, 2010 reply

No worries.

Unless he ends up as a top 5 RB I think it would be a bad pick.

I’m so pumped for this!

Except I don’t like how only Round 1 is tonight. I wish they hadn’t screwed up the times.

I’m also super excited for this draft, it just seems to have a different feel to it. The times do suck, I have to miss the first part of the second round tomorrow…weak.

Should’ve done rounds 1-2 tonight

3-5 on Saturday

6-7 Sunday

Most definitely.

BenRapelisberger - April 22, 2010 reply

Ok, thats it. Me for NFL Commissioner. Vote for me!

They know the first and second rounds are the most watched, so they split them up to maximize their ratings. Bastards…

The Draft is finally here! Still gotta say, I’ll miss the annual draft day BBQ and wasting a whole Saturday.

BenRapelisberger - April 22, 2010 reply

you can still waste a whole Saturday. Thats not hard.

Hey, you’re right! I think I’ll leave the mower in the shed. Thanks.

BenRapelisberger - April 22, 2010 reply

yes, keep the mower in the shed, and stock more beer in the fridge instead

this this this this this this this

Hooray Beer!

Thats it. I can’t take it anymore. I need to leave work now. All this talk about beer is making me thirsty.

Once again, a paradox. Beer infact is made to make you just as thirsty if not more.

Don’t steal my thunder. I just want a beer. Is that so wrong?

This makes me wonder if there is a prerequisite for becoming a beer taster? I would think someone with my experience in the matter would get a handsome salary as such.

Here here. Lets start up a business called BTU – Beer Tasters Unanimous. We’ll have the final say if your beer tastes like garbage or not.

you’ve gone off the deep end with the paradox thing.

Dawg Nuts - April 22, 2010 reply

ESPN had Michael Smith on, he is covering the Browns live.

He believes that the Browns will take either Joe Haden or Kyle Wilson from Boise State.

He doesn’t think the Browns will “take a QB early but will get one down the line”. Since no one followed up this statement, I have no idea what early means to Michael Smith.

If I was a gambling man, and I think I am I would put the pick odds at this right now:
Berry 50%
Kyle Wilson 20%
Joe Haden 20%
Derek Morgan 5%
Jimmy Clausen 3%
CJ Spiller 2%

Yeah I feel like a lot of the Haden-love died down around here. What happened?

Berry became a huge possibility again

Also we got Sheldon Brown.

Rumors had been swirling about Philly moving up to grab Berry, but now this: Redskins surprise pick may be Berry.

I think with both WAS and KC looking at him, we can probably assume he won’t be there now.

Plan B?

Washington is posturing hoping KC, Seattle or the Browns move up to number 4 and take Berry.

I say hang tight, if he is there take him, if not draft someone else.

Yeah, no moving up. Not sure how worth it that is unless you’re dead set on Berry and don’t think he’ll be there at 7.

yes, hold tight. Get the best player at 7, do not rush this.

Grockcubs - April 22, 2010 reply

This should be repeated all night by us.

This is my guess.

This is my guess as well. Washington best pick up a tackle b/c I don’t foresee a certain “older” QB they traded for withstanding the beating that Campbell was put through last season.

Yes — but it would be a typical Snyder move to go for the sexy player over the O-lineman. Though, if they passed on Okung given their needs, it would be a really, really, really dumb move.

But Snyder is no longer calling the shots.

I’m not 100% convinced. Landry had fallen out of favor with the organization (not sure what the relationship with Shanahan is like), and Berry usually appears as the #2 or #3 player on all draftboards, yet is falling based on team need. It’s not as if they’re solidified in the secondary.

Finally, whether it’s posturing for a trade or not, if they do get someone to move up that high, it’ll likely be for Berry. If that someone’s not us, then Plan B is up.

I just think Washington has a massive need at LT with Samuels retiring and knows it can get either Okung or Williams if they move back 2-3 spots. I don’t think Seattle wants Berry and, I think the Skins are probably hoping they can convince the Browns to move up to number 4 to steal Berry in front of KC.

Living in the DC area, this sounds like the conventional wisdom. I just do not see Wash taking Berry unless they have a giant rabbit in their hat to position themselves to still get Okung/Williams by some sort of trade involving Hansworth/J. Campbell and a few others.

Fair enough, I don’t disagree that their o-line is a massive need.

But let’s just say that assuming online sports gambling at sportsbook.com was legal, then I would have placed a bet on their ridiculous (and still available) Eric Berry prop of being drafted 4th or earlier at 20:1 odds, with a hedge on 5 at even money.

I think Washington has to go for a LT, the need matches the BAP too closely.

KC is the worry.

Agreed, KC is the only team that scares me in front of us. I am hoping the Chiefs trade down with someone who wants to trade up for Clausen.

someone who wants to trade up for Clausen

Like I said yesterday, that team exists?

San Fran, Buffalo and Jacksonville are my best guesses. I think all 3 are interested.

Much as I like the idea of them upgrading their whole line by drafting one of the top OTs (I think then the starting LT goes to LG, and the LG can go to center? It juggles that way somehow) they will go defense and after the two DTs Berry looks like being the man.

I fancy both Buffalo and Jacksonville will be looking to snag Tebow early second, if just to bring some glamour to those teams. That leaves SF…

Do teams typically take 10 full minutes to pick?

I can watch the first 30 minutes and I am hoping to see the Browns’ first pick

I think if a team knows what they want for sure they would make the pick asap. If they’re unsure, that team might take 8-9 to decide, and if they trade down all hell will break loose.

No, teams rarely make the pick right away, even if they know who they’re going to pick. They want to use those 10 minutes to let all the TV guys talk about their team before they announce their pick. It’s very, very rare to see a team put in its pick within the first 1 or 2 minutes in the first round.

yea, also probably to leave trade possibilities open.

probably not going to happen

i might be that guy at the formal(ish) evening gathering who sneaks off in search of a television...

get a friend to call/text you with updates.

Thanks, folks. I appreciate the help.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09-M-S7Og0o

we have an injury report on DPS

Yes, red wine and chit chat. My spine, fully removed.

two quick observations from watching sportscenter all day:
1. I like the discussion between Teddy Bruschi and Herm Edwards
2. If I hear “twisted wrister” one more time i take no responsibility for my actions.

Am I the only one expecting a pretty active 3-days from Cleveland?

I think it’ll be active. Lots of picks, Holmgren pretty much in charge – he’ll go after what he wants. Should be a good weekend for the Browns.

Yep. We’ve got 10 (or 11?) draft picks and you’re the only one expecting us to be active.

StuckInPa - April 22, 2010 reply

Pretty sure we call that a rhetorical question.

Prob.

StuckInPa - April 22, 2010 reply

I think he means active as in active in trades, not just making the picks.

What’s the over/under on number of comments on this thread.

StuckInPa - April 22, 2010 reply

Enough to require a second draft thread?

I’d think a new one at 7:00 would be appropriate. I won’t be here to see it, as I’ll be in the beer cellar at GLBC.

Jealous.

Seconded. That looks GOOD. Have a Brown ale for me…

Well done. Have several for us.

So much cooler than my plans

I’ll be teaching a class so I’ll miss all the excitement. Sucks.

Rather late to be at school?

I teach a night class part-time at a community college along with my high school teaching.

DBN sort of follows the LGT-model of starting new threads once the current one hits around 500-550 comments. I know that the SBN Washington Caps site does not, for instance, and when there are 1,200 comments, nearly no computer will load the full comments.

I do expect at least 2 open-threads here.

If we get to the 500 mark, and I fully expect that to happen, someone will be here to throw up another one.

Browns still aren’t done trying to get to number one.

We need more smokescreen.

Spidey - April 22, 2010 via mobile reply

Predraft predictions sure to go wrong:

1. Tebow goes in top half of first round.
2. McClain lasts until the 20’s.
3. Albert Haynesworth is traded tonight.
4. 4 CB’s and 6 OT’s go in first round
5. All QB’s go in first round, with Clausen going last.
6. Demaryious Thomas goes before Dez Bryant
7. Mel Kiper drops a F bomb on McShay
8. Chris Berman will do 156 hand flips while talking.
9. We only pick twice in the third round.
10. Browns leave the weekend without DQ and Jerome Harrison.

4. is predicting some sort of run on CBs (OTs looks set to happen…. so probably wont)

And for 5., just who are all the QBs? Bradford/Clausen/McCoy/Tebow?

For the first time pre this draft I’m thinking Rolando McClain, a lot

No way Tebow goes before Clausen

I have a nagging feeling Buffalo does something crazy.

When Buffalo does something crazy, it’s very boring crazy. Like drafting Donte Whitner in the first.

I would laugh histerically (sp)

Jerome Harrison? Really? What makes you think that, and who’s going to be our RB next year — are we going to pick one up in the draft?

I think he is packaged and we draft Spiller.

Interesting . . . .

4 CBs?

Thomas, Haden, Wilson, McCourty?

I would love to see Kiper drop the F bomb

Two words; Oakland Raiders

I am in the process of mentally letting myself down prior to the draft. Want to be pleasantly surprised.

After today’s Marte Party and the tonight’s impending annihilation of the Bulls, it’s already going to be a good night. I figure the draft will be icing. And let’s not forget NBC Thursday comedies and Avatar on DVD. There is a LOT to watch tonight.

Hehe.

Longtime dawg.

I’m just drinking

Rec.

I, for one, am F***ing pumped!

Why the hell is Dilfer talking about how long it will take a player to become elite?

“He better be able to throw the ball, so guys like Me and Key can make money.”

Keyshawn Johnson just said on ESPN that Dez Bryants tardiness problem has been overblown.

He backed up this sentiment with “He wasn’t late for anything his Junior season.”

That probably has something to do with him being suspended for the season Key.

Screw all those details, just give him the damn ball!

Alright. I’m up. The times fit perfectly here. Starts at Friday 930am.
I had to cancel a physio appointment but who cares?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/22/browns-will-offer-most-of-their-picks-for-bradford/

Holy **** if true.

homerun21 - April 22, 2010 reply

I doubt it is, and I honestly hope it isn’t.

Please no. Gotta be kidding.

Schefter says the talk is Browns take Kyle Wilson.

Which are you watching?

“ESPN or NFL Network”: http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2010/4/22/1437672/nfl-tv-or-espn-which-are-you

I will probably be around now for some live blogging between 7:30-9:00, and then again around 10:30 as the draft comes to a close.

Not going to be online for the draft, so have fun everyone. May Eric Berry be a Brown by 9 o’clock.

gahnki - April 22, 2010 reply

Indeed.

I’ll be online, but I also have a final to study for so I won’t be commenting a ton (let’s see if this actually holds true haha).

Good thing we pick early then (barring trades). I plan to get working on a paper too. But I actually have the whole day in front of me so that’s not too bad.

Assuming we don’t trade, what time is our pick? 9:00 et or so? I’m assuming there’s some fluff at the beginning.

If max time is used for all 6 picks ahead of us and we use the full 10 minutes, the pick should be announced by 8:40PM EST.

This is also provided it actually starts on time at 7:30.

Do trades and all that hullabaloo count towards the time in the 10 minutes?

Pretty sure it does

If the pick is traded, they do not restart the 10 minutes as far as I recall.

Could some one please right-click one of those yellow sprint ads and post the url (in most browsers: right-click > properties will give you the url). I’m using a super-lightweight browser which, for some reason, won’t tell me where those ads originate. The combination of ads, the draft widget, and increased traffic on DBN has rendered my 128 Mb RAM inadequate. Disabling the flash widget helped a little. I’m hoping that killing those ads will make the site useable again.

Thank you.

aint no party like an NFL Draft party

Twitter is going to blow up tonight.

Let’s go, trade down.

Josh McDaniels is ‘aggressive and bold". unless they miss the playoffs again; then he’ll be “a flippin’ idiot”

Sorry, Cavs. Draft is more important right now.

its what Picture-in-Picture was invented for. God’s greatest gift.

Here.

We.

GO!

Excellent.

With the 1st pick of draft night

Villeslgr selects. . .

Samuel Adams Summer Ale

Emily selects…

Glacier Freeze Gatorade.

Tate Glacier?

Bahahhaa.

I hate that ass clown

Bit of a reach, though he does have upside

It was BPA, didn’t have time to go out, only other option was High Life, which is too big of a project for my current situation. Hoping to get some better value in the later rounds.

my only option is high life light and some home brew. i will be drinking lots of home brew.

i bought some high life lite on accident once (didn’t know they even made high life lite, and therefore didn’t pay much attention to the box), tried to return and they wouldn’t take it, i was pissed

its got what we college students refer to as “drinkability”

its got what we college students refer to as ~~"drinkability"~~ “Cheapability”

Fixed

REC….quantity not quality

haha, its a good beer for people that don’t like beer, but like getting drunk.

The champagne light of beers?

I picked early in the beer draft. I’m on my fourth.

Derek Rose already has 15 points.

Do not get involved in a shooting contest with him, LBJ. You’d still probably win, but let’s keep spreading the ball around.

Game time!

Here it goes. Rams on the clock.

Bradford on the phone, smiling.

Hmmm I wonder… lol

Here we go!

Can we cut down the amount of pics? It’ll clog the thread up real quick. Just a suggestion. Don’t shoot.

good call

I hope they hold this thing somewhere other than New York someday

Vegas or Dallas

Anywhere where the fans are less assholeish

Looks like the Rams picked Bradford…….

Yup.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I’m not disappointed. Knew it’d happen.

this

I’m not dissapointed either. He’s not on our team. I can booo his ass now.

MISSSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

WOOOO! I’m very happy to hear that.

Bradford, the newest Ram.

Sammy!!

looks like they are sticking with Bradford

1 – cut a hole in a box

2

put your junk in that box

3 – Draft Berry

Make her open that Box!

Mixed emotions. We have missed out on a potential top 5 QB, but did not want to give up what they were rumoring.

sorry meant to say we may have missed out on a potential top 5 QB

They just summed up my feelings with this: Carr, Couch, Smith, Russel.

I think Bradford is a better prospect at draft time than each of these guys.

Exactly.

And not saying he will, but if he’s a bust then we’ll be damn happy we didn’t “mortgage the ranch”

Do we really need Berman?

I don’t think so. He lost his first step speed a long time ago…wouldn’t even make it in our sub-par linebacker corps these days.

hopefully he’l stroke out saying “RAAIAIAIIDERRRRRRRRRRS”

That’s why many of us are on NFL Network. Boomer is death warmed over.

If only I could join you. Alas, I have Time Warner Cable, whose war with thine NFL Network continues

Most annoying battle ever.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2010/live/landing

watch it online here…

thank you

hasn’t lagged on me yet

Too bad.

My NFL network is screwed, it goes in and out. I also have it showing the draft on a cbs channel that usually shows college sports, but of course it’s not coming in

Glad we didn’t give them anything.

Thank Christ we didn’t trade up.

Amen.

Now I’m just praying we don’t draft Clausen.

I might cry.

Looks like Suh is going to Detroit.

Sad face.

he’s on the phone

Yup.

This will be an interesting pick. Suh or Okung

I think Suh is the pick.

Ding ding ding

You would think they’d go Okung since they got Williams and Sammie Lee did good last year

Suh is awesome, though

Corey Williams is not.

Williams was pretty great with GB.

CAVS DOWN 16?!?!

jacking a bunch of 3s early, no defense either.

I know it was sickening to watch, glad the draft is on.

only watching espn gamecast … still at work … leaving in 10 min though

i’m not that worried, even if they lose a game.

It might do us some good, but still would rather sweep.

LeBron doesn’t get interested until the 4th against teams he isn’t worried about.

If we are down that much to the Magic early, then you worry a little.

Just checked in, I assume Bradford got picked, anyone else yet?

suh

Thanks

On my way to live blogging now

Suh to Lions

Suh to Detroit

Suh just went to Detroit

@sportspickle: I don’t know, Lions. Ndamukong Suh is pretty big to play wide receiver.

hahaha legit lol.

LOL

Awesome.

Excellent.

funny

McCoy is next?

yup, on teh phone smiling

Looks like it.

I just want to say…Suh, by every measure, is a class act and I really expect him to a monster for the Lions.

Now come on KC and Seattle, don’t get silly.

Well, in the spirit of New York, I think I’ll have a long island ice tea now

Words you will never hear spoken:

“Waitress, I’d like to stay sober tonight. Give me a Long Island.”

Can’t happen.

In the spirit of new york, I think I’ll take a piss.

Idk why, but this made me crack up.

Can you drink those in West Virginia?

very elusive, but yes

They probably prefer moonshine instead.

this….had some great strawberry moonshine few weeks back

Not bad

After this pick is when I start shaking nervously.

Same here.

/prays.
PLEASE, PLEASE. NO CLAUSEN.

Yeah, we’re almost up!!

Dear Washington/KC/Seattle:

Eric Berry is a truly vile human being and awful football player. You do not want to draft him.

Love,
Cleveland Browns’ Fans.

I support this message.

Tell washington how good bryant is, heck tell them all that

mCOy is crying. either he got picked or his girl is pregnant

and now it get interesting…..

Roger Goodell is huuuge. He does not get dwarfed by any of these players

I was noticed that as well, he used to play in the NFL or anything?

not as big as Coach Mike

@Adam_Schefter Washington not getting trade offers it wanted. A surprise OT next at No. 4

Everytime I hear “he gets good penetration”, I giggle.

they drafted Glenn Dorsey 2.0

saying its going to be a tackle

should be. McNabb needs protection

Please, big run on OTs. And someone trade up for Clausen. Please.

Schefter says its Okung, Williams or even Bulaga.

he said “surprise tackle” so my guess is bulaga

PLEASE!

Alright gang … enjoy the rest of the thread …am out of here until 11PM EST or so

Trent Williams I think here

fits the one blocking scheme better than Okung

*zone

trent williams…on the phone…thank you Washington

Pick is in.

OT, I’m begging.

Chiefs pick has me most scared. Please take an OT KC!

Same here.

many KC fans are convinced itll be Berry

yeah, I’m pulling for the Piolo-Ferentz connection to come up big for us

ugh *Pioli

Cause I’m watching ESPN like once in a year, who is the guy sitting in the middle in the draft panel?

The guy next to Gruden.

Steve Young

….yikes.

… steve young

LOL…new to football?

Relatively.

these picks are going quick

Now it gets tricky

I hope Seattle takes Clausen.

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Get ready for KC and SEA though.

Damn, Oklahoma.

I know. 3 of the top 4 picks.

We only have to worry about the CHIEFS!

Take Okung, KC!

TAKE OKUNG!

Schefter is predicting Chiefs take OT

i’m literally biting my nails with anticipation

OKUNG OKUNG

LaCanfora says Chiefs will take Okung as well

OOOOOOKUUUNG!!!!

Let’s be honest though: Seattle taking anyone but Berry is a huge fucking mistake.

Yeah, I think they will…

Let’s hope they make that mistake.

yeah, we know. lets hope they don’t.

Oh, sure. But here’s hoping they pull a Raiders

Wouldnt surprise me if Seattle takes Berry, be the second time this year Carroll screwed me.

I’m freaking out.

ya Seattle takes our pick again

I need some trades

If Seattle steals our pick two years in a row, I’ll flip.

I’m actually pretty happy that they took Curry rather than us. But hindsight is always 20-20.

Schefter saying Okung is the pick

and that Seattle takes Berry…

/grr

Dammit!!!

Which means nothing.

With the 6th pick, the Seattle Seahawks select…
Taylor Mays, safety out of the University of Southern California

that would be hilarious

almost as hilarious as trading a 3rd rounder for Charlie Whitehurt

I think Mays is going to be a very good -to-excellent player

of course, Im brutally biased

However, Pete Carrol also likes a “Reggie Bush” type back. Could go with Spiller?

Take Clausennn Seattle!

Here we go, will Carrol take a Safety at 5?

I really hope they have a trade back if he isn’t there.

Agreed.

I was watching that Seattle game in week 17 going down to the wire, they lost it in the last minute. Could make the difference between getting Berry and not.

I bet Seahawks only takes USC players

i really hope pete carrol shares butch davis’ gut feelings

Gotta trade down, I think, if Seattle takes Berry.

I still think Berry could go here though

NOOOOOOOOO

If Berry’s gone, trade down for Iupati

Daaaaamn it.

FUCK, HE’S ON THE PHONE

Shit

Berry is the pick!

Berry on phone. Commence meltdown

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

oh shit

zzzzzzzzzz

Berry is gone

Mike Sando: Whispers of Jimmy Clausen as a possibility for Seattle. (on ESPN Live Chat)

Shows what Schefter knows.

NOOOOOOOOO!

Dammit dammit dammit

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Trade back.

Unless we traded up to #5….

we didn’t

fuckkkk

Damn IT!!!!!!!! Trade Down or take Thomas

Trade down THEN take Thomas.

HE SAID HE’S ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A CHIEF. WTF.

TRADE BACK! NO MORGAN, NO MORGAN

Spiller to us possibly?

I would love to get Thomas and have been wrong about Berry being better than him.

+100000

I just lost my Teboner

Clausen is it

For us?!

oh god no…

Seattle or us

I WILL CRY!

I’m tearing up at the thought lol

NOOOOOO!!!

fuckin’ chiefs.

fuck

What the heck? Chiefs?

Well, at least we won’t see him very often.

Well now that all our collective hopes for tonight are dead, I’ll say this…please, please, please don’t draft Clausen.

+11111

Well, damn.

I honestly didn’t think Berry would fall to us.

Run dammit run!!!

damn 4 game winning streak

Nnnnnnnooooooooooiooooooo

The naome40 - April 22, 2010 via mobile reply

FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!

BOOOOOOO

Dont take Clausen! Dont do it!

here it comes

djoifjdsofjdfiudszfosuefjds

Where’s jaws and his “Berry is a lock”?

He’s at Tebow’s house. Sitting on his lap.

i laughed out loud on that one

thomas?

Earl Thomas..Texas Safety…2nd best safety

yeah thats what i mean

I meant so that probably mean thomas (?)

gotch ya

Eric Wright just tweeted “Wow”

Before that come on man don’t let this happen

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Rage comic coming…. (I’ll probably make it after the draft.)

Omg… please no Clausen. Please no…

Who the hell wants to be a Chief?

+1

eric berry

indians?

I’d play for any team.

For god sakes, PLEASE DON’T DRAFT CLAUSEN. GET THOMAS OR GTFO.

Buuuuuummmmmeeeeerrrr.

Seattle will take Okung

Without a doubt.

FUCK YOU ROMEO!

This

I am spazzing right now lol

whos our draft board say we should take

Haden

meh. damnit.

McClain

Berry is gone, if we draft Clausen I will punch Bernie’s neighbor.

he’s on vacation

smart move

I see it happening

We will storm his house with pitchforks in hand

Loud Noises!

draft Spiller

Harrison. Don’t draft Spiller.

TRADE DOWN, TRADE DOWN, TRADE DOWN.

Now Seatle’s pick really doesn’t matter, unless they confirm we dont get Clausen, by picking him.

God I hope they do

What wouldn’t I give for a trade down now?

Spiller > Clausen

lol no. Spiller isn’t even an every down back

In the NFL, there is no such thing as an every down back anymore. Smart winning teams rotate 2 or 3 in and out.

Well, thats what the Browns get for winning when everyone was losing:|

Fuck you Mangini

Oh knock it off. It was glorious to see us winning at the end of the year.

GODDAMN IT CRIBBS AND HARRISON!!!

We should just lose every game then we’re guaranteed a high pick every year.

WE COULD HAVE HAD BRADFORD IF MANGINI DIDNT TRY TO WIN GAMES

exactly

Flag

priceless

FLAG

NO MORGAN, CLAUSEN OR HADEN PLZ

He’s smiling because he just farted.

Ha!

Normally I laugh at this.

Now I feel ill.

I’d vote for a trade down if possible.

for sure

Everyone here probably would. Per the Plain Dealer, however, no team had contacted us about it as of this morning.

If we got Spiller, id dance a jig. A JIG, dammit.

DONT DO ET!

NOOOOOOOO

It’s Okong. We’re up

no

OMGGGGG

Michael Smith thinks we are taking Wilson or Haden. He is on location in Berea.

God as long as it isn’t Clausen…

He also said his sources told him the Browns were considering trading ALL their picks PLUS some next year to move up six spots.

i think his sources are some guys down at the bar

WERE BASICALLY ON THE CLOCK!

Seattle taking Okung,

No surprise. Good pick.

TRADE DOWN!

THIS!

This draft is going EXACTLY by the book so far. No surprises at all

Right? Boring

Don’t worry. Oakland is right around the corner.

FUCK I LOVE THE DRAFT!!!

I’d rather get Clausen than Haden.

Boooooooooooo.

I’ve been against Haden since day one.

I’d rather take ANYONE other than a QB this high. Especially a Notre Dame QB.

Schefter says Haden.

oh FFS. (sigh)

Schefter is a dick! No to HADEN. Trade DOWN

Schefter is like what… 2 for 7 tonight. This means absolutely nothing.

If we got Haden I’d be extremely pissed. There is no player I’d be more pissed about

Why? He’s a solid NFL starter. Can pencil him in for next 6-8 years.

This. Hopefully.

Claussen?

i wouldn’t be ecstatic but i wouldn’t be upset

WE’RE ON THE CLOCK

yeah and 7 all of a sudden feels like 17

NO HADEN! TOO EARLYY

THE CLOCK. IT IS ON US.

sounds like the way mooncamping would say it

trade down

2 OTs, 2 DTs in first six picks. Weird year.

Picking Haden now would be stupid

We’re the first team where no one knows wtf is coming

7 minutes to Destiny

Thomas, Haden, or Spiller….. or trade down.

Pass th Pick! Raiders will take either Jason Pierre-Paul or Bruce Campbell anyway

seriously though, trade down with the Eagles

Trade down w/ Philly?

Trade down, I hope.

Otherwise, take McClain.

Trade down. BUT I won’t be upset with Haden or Thomas.

Agree

My question is: Who trades up for our spot?!

No one.

anyone looking for a qb might

shhhh. Don’t jinx it.

I would like anyone over Haden here

Actually, anyone but Tebow.

I can’t help but think I’ll soon be saying fuck my life.

Give me Earl Thomas!

YES

+42

+18093248

+ sideways 8

I win

Fail for not taking the effort to find a pick of the infinity symbol thing on google images.

This will be interesting. I bet someone trades up for Clausen

i sure hope so

Buff – aho

I am thinking the same as you. I hope anyways.

It’s our only hope.

help us obi-wan kenobi!

They just showed a clip on Clausen! NOOOOOOOOOO

& Tebow

It’s happening

omg omg omg omg omg

Give me a full back. Or a kicker.

This pick is a no-brainer. We all know that we are gonna pick Tebow

BBBBOOOOO!!!! FLAG

please dont let the Jimmy Clausen era begin

dborst - April 22, 2010 reply

I imagine holmgrens forehead is red from resting it on the desk after the last two drafts. Phone is dangling… “Hello? Hello?”

Derrick Morgan or Bryan Bulaga are also longshot possibilities

Morgan, Clausen, Haden, or trade ?

New thread please. My computer can’t handle this thread and the live espn feed

I now officially hate the Chiefs.

Yes.

I hope Cassell gets punished. Chiefs draft BPA instead of protecting their QB.

Yea, let’s give up another FU to the Chiefs.

bye bye next ed reed…

Any really good kickers to take instead of Clausen?

Tebow is on the phone!?

just had to change my pants

thats not even funny

Jackass

On ESPN they showed a clip of him on the phone. I think it was taped and not live.

I have a gun, Mike Holmgren.

Just saying.

would haden play right away though? they said they were going to get someone who was

Yes, could basically plug him in as a starter day 1.

TRADE DOWN

Do not want to see Tebow on the phone

NO JIMMY CLAUSEN!

what the fuck
dez bryant

dsoifhdsfjdslkfjdslfjdslfjds;lfj

Wilson or Haden ?

They’re talking about either Haden or Wilson. I’d perfer Wilson but both are underwhelming

TRADE DOWN! JESUS.

not that easy

omg

OH GOD, please not DEZ

Joe Haden or Kyle Wilson according to Michael Smith — Smith says Holmgren will reak the tie.

*break

Haden vs. Wilson with our #7? A CB at #7? Shit.

nothing wrong with CB at 7 — just none of these CBs deserve it.

Haden >>>>> Clausen

haden

haden

someone trade!

TRADE DOWN

fuck

maybe we traded down and somebody else is grabbing dez???

Steve Young is smart.

never thought I’d say this, but…

here is to hoping Steve Young is right

no one would do it

Has anyone mentions trading down!?!?! I think we should do that!

haha rec

its going to be haden

whats happening my pc froze

Its Joe “i was left” haden.

What would be the point of grabbing Brown if they just draft a CB in the first round? Get a developmental pick in the second or third

SuP DAWGS!

shit pick is in

The pick is in.

It’s Haden

oh God pick is in! PICK IS INNNNNN

THE PICK IS IN!!

Joe Haden !

joe haden it is

dborst - April 22, 2010 reply

well there’s your answer

It’s Haden.

hadennnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Joe Haden! I’m OK with that!

Knowing it isn’t Clausen makes me SOOOO happy!

This.

+3294832984900

agreed

It’s Haden

It’s Haden

EN

FUCK ITS HADEN

WOOOO!

It Haden

who is denver taking?

Dont care

The force of the Browns is pretty strong

HADEN!

I do not like this pick.

I do not like this AT ALL. Much rather would have had thomas

i’ll bet brown starts at safety

I do, pencil him in as the starter and suddenly we are deep at CB.

I have no problem with this pick.
I like Haden better than Thomas, Bulaga, Morgan, et. al. (not to mention Clausen :X )
They went value here and that’s not a bad idea.

Woooooo! NOT CLAUSEN!

Bernie’s neighbor is safe for now….

He thought so too.

either Haden got picked or he failed his STD test

I’ll take Haden over Clausen.

Its back…Haden…not unhappy, but not happy. Would of rather had Thomas

I’m ok with Haden, and damn glad it isn’t Clausen

i’m am not excited, but i am ok with this.

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Damn the brown always disappoint me. FUCK

I’m neutral.

At least it isnt Clausen

Yeah, neutral.

Haden is the Clausen version of the CB’s

....................o

Joe

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This smells of Mangini

Nope, Holmgren said he wanted Haden

Smith said Holmgren was breaking the tie for Haden over Wilson.

We better get McCoy. Shit.

Hey guys, he’s a Brown now. Support him.

lemme throw up a bit first and then I ll try and justify it.

So does Sheldon get moved to free safety?

thats my guess

Most likely. Or we take a safety with one of our 200 mid rounders.

I knew it. Who the heck wanted to trade up anyway?

Golan will be happy, didn’t the golan gut say Haden will be awesome?

He did. Where’s Golan?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Wow, awful.

kwoog - April 22, 2010 reply

Wow, you’re sober on draft day?

Ha..REC

It’s 9:30 am for me, so yeah.

He’s not nor never will be a superstar. Damn. Would have rather taken Thomas if forced to turn in a card.

kwoog - April 22, 2010 reply

No, awful would have been Tebow at #7

Well, not my preference. But welcome to the Browns, Joe.

MCCOY MCCOY

Do you think we’ll have to trade back into rd. 1 to get him?

Hey guys, maybe he’s the next Revis.

hope so - CB is the most important position in today's NFL defenses

Let’s make this green. We can all hope.

Joe is a great CB - just that people expected Berry or a trade

what the fuck was the point of getting Sheldon?

My thoughts exactly.

Saftey.

Possibly move him to safety?

OSUMoneyball - April 22, 2010 reply

2 low picks and Alex Hall for Sheldon and Gocong. Still a good trade.

Sheldon is old. Maybe 2 years at best. And they’ll likely move him to free safety.

They should have gotten a developmental pick if that was the case. DAMMIT

This is the Eagles playbook.

shut down CB????

Well, if he dominates like Revis . . . .

He doesn’t have half the tools of Revis

This guy wasn’t a playmaker at all in college. All of his picks came from him being in the right place at the right time

well thats a pretty important skill…

Don’t most picks?

Perfect offense beats perfect defense.

I’ll take someone who’s in the right place at the right time.

I’d take a guy who makes plays on the ball, NFL QB’s aren’t going to throw the ball randomly at him

I can think of two

you can’t make a play on the ball if you’re in the wrong place.

All of his picks came from him being in the right place at the right time

Maybe one of the more outrageous things uttered here. I have never seen someone get an INT by being in the wrong place…

YOU DIDN’T DO A DEVIL’S ADVOCATE ON THIS GODDAMNIT

figures…

honestly, i’m just glad it wasn’t Clausen, so i’m happy about that

guys settle down. its a bit of a let down cause we all had our hopes up, but the pick is fine.

This is true. Honestly there’s a big drop-off after Berry.

Haden was the #1 CB wasn’t he?

Some said Wilson.

i like wilson more

I like Haden better honestly, fits us better.

I like to think that he has only played CB for a short time and has nowhere to go but to continue to learn that position better and better

This is what i will go with

Wilson is the better man coverer

There are a lot of things to like about Wilson—like his long speed—but Haden is the better man to man corner. Haden will need to develop instincts in zone and get better at pass concept recognition.

+1

Haden isn’t ideal, but it’s not like he sucks.

typical browns. ‘Huh?’ followed by ‘Eh….’

taylor mays? haha

Well atleast we can laugh at the raiders taking Bryant

Phew. Like I said. Meh, I’m neutral.

ITS NOT CLAUSEN!

Rec for agreeing completely

Raiders pick was quick?!?!?! LIKE NO WAY

Spiller.

Rob Ryan had better go crazy up front and eventually be able to rely on man downfield.

Clausen to Raiders. Al Davis on the clock.

Bottom line:

I think we took the top player on our draft board, not necessarily what was our biggest hole. We all wanted Berry, but Haden is gonna be juuuuuuust fine.

Raiders for McClain? What the heck?

I know right, like a decent pick. Someone not the fastest guy.

Fastest LB

Good point.

Well their team just got better on Madden 2011.

Al Davis is what the heck. I guess we can all be thankful he’s not running the Browns.

God I love the Raiders

Um what?

Nvm. I was thinking Cody. I got then confused.

McClain!! Finally some shaking up

Wow. Surprisingly not an enormously stupid pick by the Raiders?

Blows my mind.

That’s what I was thinking.

Uh, at best he wasn’t going to get picked until 15 to NYG. Not a terribly pick but they’re definitely reaching. Mcclain just hit the jackpot.

is still high for a LB…even a great one.
Just not enough of a impact on the game.
Al should have grabbed Bryan Bulaga (Robert Gallery #2)

ugh should have been #8

Oh, Al Davis…

I would’ve called the Giants if I was Al

just got this text:
“Browns get the best dressed player of the draft "

Michael Smith is saying the draft room was split on Haden versus Kyle Wilson. I was hoping we would get a unanimous choice.

It was just on one being more physical and the schools they went to

Hopefully this doesn’t cause a Romeoesque benching of him all year due to bruised egos.

You think Mangini didn’t want him?

That was a Mangini pick.

flying in the face of facts! who needs ’em, right Rocland?!

I don’t know, but Smith reported that this was one where Holmgren had to “break the tie”. When that happens in bad organizations, people get bruised egos and the whole machine doesn’t work like it should. In good organizations, people can check their egos and aim to play the best football as a team from the President down.

Smith later said the pick was unanimous, but a lot of people liked Wilson.

Roger Dorn - April 23, 2010 reply

Didn’t Michael Smith say Holmgren was offering our entire draft for Bradford?

Yeah. I kinda feel like Michael Smith is in draft purgatory having to be in Berea. He’s probably just making stuff up to keep it interesting.

Well, it is what it is. He’s our boy now. Go Haden.

its more like. Plz don’t suck haden, you gotta be better than what we got.

How do they not take Dez Byrant there?

Hmmm…a somewhat normal pick for Oakland

Was it just me or did Goodell start to laugh as he first looked at the card?

ScottJC - April 22, 2010 reply

McClain to the Raiders.

Bills coming right away. Got to be Jimm clausen

Nope

look at all those ‘relatives’ mobbing Mclain…‘Sheeeeeit WE is RICH!!’

McClains like…’who’s WE, sucka?’

Relatives? Who’s the pasty white kid

probably just part of the crowd

New question: Are we going to trade into the late first for Colt?

Not necessary.

See my post below this.

Bills take Spiller, wow!

Spiller to Bills. Get ready for the BQ-style freefall for Clausen.

this is very reminiscent of ginn to the dolphins.

Jags, Hawks, 9ers…

I think not.

SpecialBrownie - April 23, 2010 reply

OMG

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now the draft just goes CRAZY

Solid pick by Buffalo in my opinion. SPEED KILLS.

they got two good rbs already

Interesting.

lol. Raiders.

Alright, I am out for tonight everyone. See you all tomorrow.

My friend’s family are Bills fans and Clemson fans. They’re going to go nuts.

I think we need a new thread. Yes?

Please.

third

yes please

Chiefs just fucked the whole draft up

How dare they draft the BPA!!!

what? who’s their QB?

Elvis Grbac

Sticking with Edwards? Or maybe Jason Campbell

Brian Brohm

he was very good when he played against WVU

until _ got to him

New thread please?

Claussen freefalling. Karma for douchebaggery?

If Clausen gets past Jacksonville. He could drop all the way to Minnesota

Bills could be in the play for Colt now.

Yeah, but we pick ahead of them in the 2nd.

I’m gonna make a Haden custom player on Madden and make him a beast.

a woman that loves football and plays Madden. Your lucky I’m married girl

My girlfriend can draw the outside zone run scheme on a whiteboard.
