The thing is I really want Fire Power on offense out of this draft. I really like both McFadden and Slaton and would love to have one of these guys. The thing about both is they bring a dimension he have not had in years on Offense, and that is the threat as a receiver as well. I would love to see us add a player to this offense that gives that Bush/Faulk dimension. OH MY!

Not sure if we can get either one with our next First rounder. If we are at #2 and who ever is drafting #1 will switch for our other first rounder, at this point I do it to get McFadden. That may be subject to change after next year, but right now I do it.
I like the term firepower for this draft.

That is why I want McFadden with the Browns' pick, and the best available WR with our pick.

Someone mentioned Cason with our pick. He won't drop that far unless he gets hurt. Top 10 pick.

In all seriousness, McFadden is the player I absolutely want, and have wanted from the second I heard we got Cleveland's 2008 1st rounder. If it can't happen...oh well.

Agreed... If McFadden is available he is a no brainer.. And a big play WR should be a high priority based on or 33 year old starting WR's

Did you hunt for that just to post this, or just run across it and decided to be funny?

I could be a happy camper coming away with Jake Long and Manningham.

Now if you'll excuse me...I must shower.

I feel so dirty.

Do you think Manningham would last to the late first? I think he might end up top 15 along with Desean Jackson of Cal.

I'd love to have Long or Baker.

That is hard to tell, but you may be right.

I plan to go to the Draft. If we got McFadden and Manningham I'd need a tranquilizer gun to calm me down.

Not late 1st...15-20 right now I guess...less someone jumps on him too early(cue Ted Ginn).

I see us at about 25...anything could happen at that point.

At any rate, if we're picking that late...alot of things will have gone right...Romo and JJones in particular. Time to add some new toys on offense to make that final push.

2nd time going to the draft? Now that is slick! I have been to the HOF but not the draft! At least you will know about those "turnstile" doors now!

(is that redhead girl going to be there? i might need to go along)
yes...

If we're picking at #2 and not trading down, we'd better not take a WR. I'd want one of the premier positions: Left tackle, defensive tackle, or cornerback... Assuming that we don't need a QB, of course.

Actually, that pick is one that no one really wants. Those picks cost a fortune nowdays, and it's too much to pay for what is a great unknown. That's why no one trades up for them, unless they need a QB.

And as some of the more intelligent posters have already noted , there's no such thing as a can't-miss pick. Such an animal doesn't exist.

In a really perfect world, we'd trade down a few picks and pick up at least a third and maybe a second. Then I'd feel a lot more comforable drafting a top DT, LT, CB or even RB. Save the WR for the later first rounder.

Nice! It's good to have draft picks...that's how you build a strong team.
