dirtdickens Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 When we traded down I liked the direction we were headed. A lot of the guys I liked were in the late first and 2nd round. Mack is pretty good, have to combat Ngata and Hampton twice a year. Robo and Masaqoui are devepment guys, but solid depth DE and OLB selections were a little puzzling with the players still on the board. Late rounds we did well. It looks like the goal was to lay the foundation for the future. Get some good character guys that will be role players. I am okay with that, but there was a lot out there that would have helped a lot. Here is what I think we could have done. 1. Maclin 2. Barwin 2. McCoy 2. Moala 4. DJ Moore I like the DBs, but in this cae would have traded out James Davis for LB Marcus Freeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm not sure I liked Robiskie over Rey however you spell his last name. The LB from USC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Robo has some issues. He is tall and runs good routes. Strong character guy. No speed, despite his pro day, he can not get seperation from defenders in man coverage. Not big and strong like Joe was and he will struggle. Rey would help in the middle, but I think OLB is a bigger problem. I really like Barwin, strong against the run, can get after the passer and is good in the open field-played TE.

Timmypg Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 After drafting 2 WR's in the 2nd round they have to trade Edwards now right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 After drafting 2 WR's in the 2nd round they have to trade Edwards now right? They have to reduce what their asking for if they want to trade him. They're asking for the moon and nobody wants to give up that much!

KevinL Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I read somewhere that if Braylon plays out the year and the Browns make him an offer, as an RFA, the Browns would get a 1st and 3rd round pick. That seems to agree with what's posted in wikepedia, but I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) I read somewhere that if Braylon plays out the year and the Browns make him an offer, as an RFA, the Browns would get a 1st and 3rd round pick. That seems to agree with what's posted in wikepedia, but I'm no expert. He was drafted in 2005. RFA's have 3 years of vested experience. UFA's have more than 3 years of vested experience so he becomes a UFA once the contract expires. Edited April 27, 2009 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted about it on another site but I cant find it. It states there will be no salary cap, but restricts top playoff teams in signings UFA's http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I thought trading down was smart until they reached (slightly) for Mack who they could have had later. Robo was a good move IMO, not flashy but solid, but did not get why they passed on McCoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
