Browns busy at Combine
Posted February 23rd, 2009 by Dan
For the past several days, the top players in the draft have been in Indianapolis working out for scouts and coaches at the NFL Scouting Combine.
At the Combine, teams are allowed to hold 60 private interviews with players. Fortunately for you, Luke and I read a lot and have a few contacts. We've found out the Browns have interviewed the following:
Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State
Tom Brandstater, QB, Fresno State
Demetrius Byrd, WR, LSU
Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State
Austin Collie, WR, BYU
Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest
Maurice Evans, DE, Penn State
Zach Follett, MLB, California
Marcus Freeman, OLB, Ohio State
Ramon Foster, OT, Tennessee
Juan Garcia, C, Washington
Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss
Quinn Johnson, FB, LSU
Rashad Johnson, S, Alabama
Taurus Johnson, WR, South Florida
Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Look for that list to grow over the next several days as the Combine concludes on Wednesday.
But what exactly can you take out of it? Well, not much to be quite honest. It's just a neat draft-related thing to look at. Of all those players, the Browns have been closely associated with Curry and Orakpo the most.
Local notes…
Akron-area products Chris Wells and Tyrell Sutton didn't run the best 40-yard dash times.
Ohio State's Brian Robiskie has had a good Combine experience so far.

I'd like to see th Browns trade Anderson, Winslow and Edwards for 3-5 draft picks in the top 3 rounds. If they can get more, fine. We need youth, attitude and dedicated players, with a chip on their shoulders. We are not getting this… from these 3 guys now.
