Mock draft roundup
Posted March 10th, 2009 by Dan
Last month, Luke took a tour of mock drafts around the Web, so I thought I'd do a quick roundup today. Neither Todd McShay or Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN has updated their mock since Luke's post.
The Huddle Report - Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Comment: Do the Browns need a cornerback after signing Hank Poteat Tuesday night? Also, is pick No. 5 too high for a player who ran so poorly at the NFL Scouting Combine?
Walter Football – Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
Comment: A contingent of Browns officials are going to Texas next week to work out Orakpo. There, they'll find out if he can move to 3-4 rush linebacker or if he's strictly a 4-3 defensive end. Some people are beginning to think the latter.
Football Burrito – Rey Maualuga, MLB, Southern California
Comment: I love Maualuga, but this is way too high for him to go in the draft. Mostly I included this site because I like to eat burritos.
Sporting News – Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia
Comment: Really? Someone got paid to make that prognostication? Really?
Rob Rang, CBS Sports – BJ Raji, DT, Boston College
Comment: This is a reasonable choice if he's there and the Browns decide to do something with Shaun Rogers. Otherwise, the Browns have much greater needs.
Chad Reuter, CBS Sports – Orakpo
Comment: This is fairly popular, especially when you get to the less-known sites. In round two, Reuter gives the Browns DJ Moore, CB, Vanderbilt and apparently forgot about the Browns' second second rounder. D'oh! Oh, and he screwed up other parts of the second round draft order. Double d'oh!
Draft Countdown – Orakpo
Comment: Go figure. In the second, Scott Wright gives us Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut and Jared Cook, TE, South Carolina. As I noted last night, I doubt the Browns take a second-round tight end. I do like Brown, however.
Mocking the Draft – Everette Brown, DE/OLB, Florida State
Comment: This is my site, so check it out! Also, I like Brown better than Orakpo for the Browns. In the second round, I gave Cleveland LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh and Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati. They just seemed to fit best while I was putting the mock together.
So, there are several mock drafts. Who would you like the Browns to select with picks 5, 36 and 50? Tell us, and tear up my picks, in the comments!

the draft is crap shoot..i think the kid from texas is bigger stronger,than f.s.u lb..2nd round,why not take a shot at johnson from ga. tech,has cant miss written on his 4 head,then johnson saftey from bama..4th round,best rb still on the board..

While most people have my first two out of reach now, I'm not giving up yet.
Aaron Curry – OLB/ILB
Clay Matthews III – OLB
Eric Wood – C

Randy, Johnson might not be there now in the second. He looked very impressive at his Pro Day yesterday. The others are intriguing. I'm not 100 percent certain Orakpo can move to 3-4 outside linebacker.
Cooper, I would love that draft. My admiration for Matthews only went up after talking to him a couple weeks ago.

if only we knew what went on behide close doors..is this all a smoke screen and they have other plans..the sc mlb????

I don't know about Mathews…worried about walking on at 185 and then "bulking up" to what 245? Like Wood and Patrick Chung in the 2nd. I'm with Randy in the 4th..RB's Greene or Jennings might be nice.If we have to stay at 5 in the 1st, am inclined to go with highest guy on my board which means a OLB/De or one of the OT's. We should get a good pick[s] for Anderson. Since Braylon will walk in 2010 he's another possibility for the right offer, which then points to a WR/TE. Speaking of the TE's, there are some lean and fast ones who could transition to more of a big wideout. I like the kid from Ole Miss[Palmer?]for examp.Also WR Britt from Rutgers.

Maualuga is a borderline first round pick anymore, hardly the top five selection he was during the season.
March 11th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
I would like the Browns to see if someone like Denver might be interested in Rogers.They're switching over to the 3-4 and adding a Pro Bowl nose tackle would be a major addition.They pick 12th and I'm not sure B.J. Raji would be available.We could then select Raji with the 5th pick.Then we could select between Maualuga or Matthews with the 12th pick.Then the Browns could target a cornerback in the second round.Plus Anderson could be traded and more selections.

they will take a big hit on the cap if they trade rogers for a pick..all u can hope for is they kiss and make up,and mr. rogers goes back to controlling his nieghborhood..with all the d signing ,maybe they are looking more at the o side of the ball..if orakpo is a only a d-e,then plug him in and let him go..hes been playing against tackles for the last couples yrs..he will takes his lumps,but will also makes some plays..as far as anderson,what the hurry to deal him..we all where blinders thinking our guys are worth more than than the market bears..qbs are like pitching,u can never have enough..

It is not very economical to have two electricity companies, water companies, sewage treatment, or natural gas companies serving the same street. ,
