We got 3 starters from this draft. Mack,Robiskie,and Elam. We needed numbers to compete and we got 11 bodies from this draft. I would have liked Malaluuga with #36,but Robiskie will start and be productive from day#1.

Forget the draft, other than Mack & Massaquoi.

Graham Harrell will be at minicamp this weekend? Hoo-boy! The QB controversy becomes who should start between Quinn and Harrell.

If the players we got from NEW YORK were great they would still be in New York. wow all of those play makers and who do you take? A center
boy he sure would not have been there in the later rounds.

If you are concerned about Mack, go watch his videos on YouTube. Go read about the Senior bowl practices and game. Mack fills a hole in the middle. This is what Mangini did with NYJ when he drafted Mangold. On top of that, he filled the hole at safety with a proven player. Teams that win RUN the ball and most importantly play great DEFENSE. I like the Robiske pick but Massaquoi is 2 yrs away because he is a poor route runner and drops the ball like Braylon. Veikune should be able to make the transition…he looks fast & he's a reliable tackler. I wonder how nervous Wright & McDonald are after 2 CB selections? They should be anyway! I like our GM – and I'm warming up to Mangini.

QB – RB – WR's – O line – D line – LB's – CB's – and a safety ! Could have changed a few things , but what do I know ? Great job ! There was a couple of huge DE's That didn't get drafted that I would have liked signed. 3-4 guys Zach Potter 6'7 280 and 6'6 280 Pannel Egboh . How about Alex Boone moved to right tackle 6'8 230 ? Kent State's Augustus Parrish 6'4 300 moved to left guard ? How about Wisconsin's guard Andy Kemp 6'5 315 ? Some big free agent lineman getting their shot some where else. We can't get them all , I guess.. . . . . Is anyone else surprised that DE Corey Williams is still a Brown ?

The hardest players to find these days are standout left tackles, quarterbacks, defensive tackles and wide receivers and the Browns already had that covered.

Surround those types with tough, smart, team players and you've got a decent team. That's what the Browns tried to do with this draft. They are on the right track.

Two very good receviers. Both are go too guys. The Georgia kid is disciplined. Robski reminds me of Milt Morin.

I understand that James Davis will be very good; he was expected to be a 2nd rounder had he come out as a junior but because he split time with Spiller at Clemson, his numbers were not so impressive. Should be a very good pick!

I give an "A" not just for the drafted players but for the 3 veteran players we got from NY and for the fact we still have Brady, Derek, and Braylon.
