Savage did as promised and upgraded the defensive line. It seems the two DL will require double teams and freeing up our line backers. Even with what we have I feel without being blocked by the OL the run defense just improve dramatically. Although I would like to see a Line backer or back up OL in the fourth and fifth round. I believe this is a rich draft for all. So many good athetes to chose. If in fact we do improve this year and win the division then the FA next year will be knocking at our door for contracts.

Mr. Savage and coach have done well, now can this team come to believe? This is the most confident I have been about the Browns, since before Ozzie slipped in the endzone.

I am not a Savage fan in the least but I do think the logic here makes sense. You are getting NFL experience and only giving up what will be inexperienced players with picks that may or may not pan out the way you want them to. I do think it is odd though how everyone just assumes that Brady Quinn is a good NFL quarterback simply because he was taken in the first round last year and that he was at the highest profile position at arguably the highest profile school in college. Last I checked this guy was 3 for 8 as an NFL quarterback and all of his success so far has been against other teams' backups in preseason games. Will he be good? Maybe or maybe not, I am just saying everybody shouldn't just assume that he will be. As far as Savage's third round picks go...I still think Charlie Frye was a good third round pick even though things didn't go as planned for him. We don't know what would have happened if he would have been the guy instead of Anderson last year. My guess is he wouldn't have been as productive as D.A. was but that he would have had some decent success. I know that not many seem to agree with me on that though.

Early draft picks are great for teams that are re-building, but not for teams that went 10-6 and missed the playoffs because their QB choked and Indy forfeited their last game. I hope Savage trades the 4th and 5th picks for a veteran CB (preferably someone who can stay within 8 feet of the other team's slot receiver, unlike Leigh Bodden in '07). I can't believe Detroit handed over Shaun Rogers for Bodden and a 3rd--thank God for Matt Millen (or did he get fired?). Even if Rogers plays 30 lbs overweight and only tries on 50% of the plays (which could happen), we're better off with him than with Bodden and this year's version of Travis Wilson. Forget draft picks. This has been an amazing off-season so far. DA scares me to death, but if he can play as well as last year, or if Quinn can step in mid-season and get the ball to our play-makers without turning it over too much, we're going to contend in the AFC. Oh, and the ILB's have to step up in the run game, and Pool and Jones have to shake their A.D.D. and actually cover some TE's down the field.
