You make it sound more difficult than it really is.

Chris Houston - I would have been fine with Houston. I think he's a player. But Spencer provides much more value at pass-rushing than what Houston would at CB.

Eric Wright - No way. Great talent, but with Goodell around, even the slightest noise out of this guy and he'd bring the hammer down.

Josh Wilson - The guy is tiny. You complain about lining up Glenn because of his size, but you'd rather have this guy? Makes no sense. With the size of receivers today, I'd don't want a guy that small.

Marcus McCauley - What do you like about him? He put up some very nice numbers at the combine, but he didn't seem to play up to those numbers in college. Poor college production against second-tier opposition does't scream worth a first day pick to me.

AJ Davis - Nice production, but against sub-par talent. Was injured quite a bit in college. I can see an argument there. But he's a project at best. You couldn't expect him to come in and compete right away. If we're going to get CB in the draft, I'd wait til next year's and get one that's rated a little higher.

Tanard Jackson - I thought you didn't like slow corners? Or are you just throwing names out there?

All of these players graded out in the top 100.

On this topic, people should get Adblock with Firefox and block all sigs.

I do it and it makes the board much easier to read.

Two woulda, coulda, shouldas from me:

1. Eric Wright CB USC/UNLV - The Browns say that he passed their rigorous background check for his behavior since his move to UNLV. Apparently the Browns contract with former CIA types. Anyhow, Wright has the look of a future pro-bowl CB. That'll be hard to take if it happens, given that the Cowboys traded out of that pick.

2. Browns #1 vs. Bills #1 - Apparently Jerry Jones had to choose. The Browns and the Bills were both ready to trade their 1st round 2008 picks to the Cowboys. Right now today, I'd pick the Browns too. But if it turns out that the Bills do even worse than the Browns, that'll be hard to take.

Its going to be harder for the Browns to eek out division wins than the Bills. Can you really see the brownies winning a division game next season? The bills are at least tough at home.

I wanted Dwayne Bowe or Sidney Rice

But I am more than happy with what we got.

Pretty much where I stand but add Robert Meachem to the list

I'm pissed the Saints took him, him to be the deep threat, Colston the do-everything and Copper in the slot is going to be dangerous

Was the sig too big?

I got yelled at too

when you're scrolling through messages, it's tiresome to read a 1 line post that 3 screens long because of a sig file.

I'm kidding, I understand why they limit the size.

But if we all did that then no one would see your Philo-spoof.

I'm not predicting it, but would it be a shocking surprise?

The Saints, who earned a the second overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, were a second seed in the playoffs. The Steelers missed the playoffs the year after winning the Super Bowl.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Browns finished 9-7. If the Browns finally have a year of few injuries and some of those first rounders from previous years (and J. Lewis) play well, things could go their way more often than we now anticipate. That's parity (for better or for worse).
