Does anyone besides me treat this as a Holiday? I've been watching the draft for the past decade and it has become sort of a ritual. I'm counting down the hours..... Last year, I had about 10 hours in front of the tv watching this thing. Can't wait to do it again!

I fear that my beloved Browns will be drafting Brady Quinn.

Disaster...utter and total disaster...

I've seen alot of projections that show the Browns taking Adrian Peterson.

I'd be happy with that...I think he and Jamal Lewis would be a fun duo in the backfield next year.

The Browns biggest problem, though, is the lack of a solid offensive line. Without the OL, I don't think it really matters who is playing QB or RB...they just don't have time or room to operate. So I'd be happiest with that big kid from Wisconsin, but he may not be available.

Yeah, that's Joe Thomas and he should be available since the Browns pick third.
I'm pretty sure the Raiders will take JaMarcus Russell, so it will depend on if Detroit gets Thomas with the second pick. I think Cleveland needs him more than Peterson at this point, though Peterson is a great back.

Detroit will likely trade out of the two slot so someone can move up for Calvin Johnson. The Lions seem to want Gaines Adams.
Cleveland needs a left tackle that can shore up the QB's blind side for the next decade. Why draft a QB when you have no line to protect him? Same goes for Adrian Peterson... I am a fan of both Adrian and Quinn, but the Browns need to learn how to protect a QB and open running lanes for a RB before drafting either.
That being said..... It seems as though the Brownies are taking Brady Quinn from all the latest mock drafts.

who would you like brady quinn going to?

my 0.02 is that this class won't be as fine as last year with Young, leinart, Colston, Jones Drew, Aj hawk et al, that was a special one.

any way can't wait for football season to start

just 4 months to go..... :yay

Can't wait for this weekend! I'm a long-suffering Jets fan (although I did see there one and only SB appearance in SB III). They only have 6 picks this year and could use some help at LB'er and defensive secondary.

the jets did played some football last season, no one would have thought, new and inexperienced (NFL) coach, and once they cover this defensive backs, they are gonna be fine show on turf.

That's what I'm saying!

You and I should start advising the Browns.
