Third year in a row I ended up in Cleveland either on the day of the draft or the day before. The consensus here is that the Browns better draft Trent Richardson, or fans are claiming they will stop supporting the team. They've got themselves so worked up about it that they are now convinced a rumor that the Jets are trying to move up to #3 to take Richardson is true. They seem to be lukewarm on Blackmon, down on taking Claiborne, and split on Tannehill.
Anyway you slice it tomorrow is the Browns Super Bowl, and they are doomed to lose.

Wonder what the Vikes are asking for their 3 spot? To spendy for the j..e..t..s I'm thinking. Stains fans are spinning their wheels. Its almost a far gone conclusion that the stains take Richardson with the 4th over all pick.

Rams looking to trade with Minnesota offering their 2 2nds to jump Browns for Richardson.

Gotta admit, I don't get the Richardson thing. I'm not saying some team isn't dumb enough to it, but this isn't Adrian Peterson...

I disagree I believe Richardson can be just as good. Plus he doesnt cough the ball up, has nowhere near tread Peterson had coming out, and none of the injury concerns. When Ingram was starter Bama's best player had to ride pine until Ingram moved on aka TRich.

I would be OK with him somewhere in the Top 15... Probably even in the Top 10. But you'd mortgage your future bundling picks to move up spots to grab him? With Kalil potentially on the board?
That's the "love" I don't get at all. Maybe IF you have the need, AND there isn't a better option, then you take him in the Top 6...
Given the likelihood that he'll get creamed in the NFL, and the availability of some quality backs in R2, it just seems like super shitty value. You could anchor either OL or DL with a pick in that range for a decade.

You could anchor either OL or DL with a pick in that range for a decade. Now that sentiment I agree with, Peterson went to a team with a good oline already in place. If Browns actually draft to plana and draft with common sense they can set that up. Take Richardson, at 22 move back, get extra third/fourth. In second grab Massie and OG Brooks. Suddenly that oline looks very nice indeed. Use 3rd round on, on BPA. Of course that wouldnt solve all their issues but they have nice parts in place on d and with a great running game, Mccoy can game manage and suddenly Broons aint no push over. Of course they wont do this. They will scheme their way to fail.
