The Browns next 6 game will go a VERY long way to determining what type of pick we get from them. Here are their next 6 games:

St Louis (Away)
Seattle (Home)
Pittsburgh (Away)
Baltimore(Away)
Houston(Home)
Arizona(Away)

With St Louis getting everyone back on offense more likely next week, and Cleveland's inability to pressure the QB St Louis is not going to be as easy of a game as it should be for them. And after that, they face 5 straight games against teams that are .500 or better currently. With as bad as Cleveland's defense has been and the fact that 4 of their next 6 games are on the road and the two Home games are against teams that should be getting healthy by the time they face Cleveland I could very easily see them only winning 1 game at the most.

If they only get 1 or 2 wins out of those next 6 games, that would put them at 4-8 or 5-7. At that point the chances of them putting in Brady Quinn for the final 4 games is very good, and that will greatly limit how many wins they get out of the final 4 games, especially since they are much easier again.

On the other side, only Pittsburgh stands out as a team that is drastically better than Cleveland, if they catch a few breaks, they could certainly go 4-2 or not inconceivably go 5-1 the next 6 games. That would put them at 8-4 or 7-5 with 4 more very winnable games to come, and Brady Quinn likely stuck on the bench this year as they make a run for the playoffs.

St Louis (Away) - winnable
Seattle (Home) - after losing to NO? winnable
Pittsburgh (Away) - smack down loss for cleveland here
Baltimore(Away) - i see a cleveland loss but they could also upset and not be too big a surprise
Houston(Home) - winnable.

even if they go 3/3 they're what now, 6-6? a .500 team will get us about 15-18 somewhere.

i thikn we'll get pick 12-14 by the end result.
Arizona(Away)

As I said, other than Pittsburgh all the games are winnable. But at the same time, I don't see any that look like easy wins to me, especially since they have struggled badly on the road so far this year. Lets not forget that they did lose to Oakland on the road already this year.

Keep in mind that by the time that Cleveland faces Houston Andre Johnson will be back, which will be a HUGE help for the Texans.

Don't forget that Cleveland's D is beyond pitiful right now. They are 31st in the league in yards per game given up and 30th in the league in Scoring defense.

yea, that's pretty much why i said a 3-3 run in that 6 game stretch wouldn't surprise me.

The Browns aren't bad. I watched their game against the Pats in Foxboro and if Anderson hadn't thrown 2 ints deep in the red zone in the first half that game would have been very interesting. They came out in the second half and scored a couple of TDs against the Pats and were only down 10 until a late int (last 30 seconds of the game) was returned for a TD.

You can forget a 5-11 team or anything like that. I say they end up about 8-8.

St Louis (Away) WIN
Seattle (Home) Flip a coin
Pittsburgh (Away)
Baltimore(Away) They will win 1 of these Two
Houston(Home) Flip a coin
Arizona(Away) WIN

Cleveland looks to be a 7-9 win team. Offensive firepower and Crennel has some defensive skill players.
