SD:
Not for us because the more we change the more we stay the same.
My post covered the last 12 years of them fucking up .
Stop me when you see improvement.
SoulDawg
you're hindsight is 20/20 SD.
Here's what I would like. I'd like for you to make your picks during the draft this year. When the Browns are picking, you can let everyone know who you would pick instead. Maybe Peek can archive it and we can revisit it down the road.
I'm not even saying this to bust your chops. I'm really curious. I'd like to see who guys like JB, JTA, Peek and Hiko do too.
I think it might be interesting.
After you , been making my prefered choices every year .
Including Sanchez when you were humpin Brady's drawers.
Links or it didn't happen.
Look, I'm really not trying to be an asshole here. I've spent enough time busting your balls without adding anything.
And, I'd be more than happy to make my pick, but I'm like Hiko, I have no real knowledge of any of these guys after the first few rounds, I can tell you who my pick in the first would be but after that, hell, I don't know.
BUTT...I'm not claiming to know, either. You're the resident nastrodamous always talking about the terrible picks the Browns made and who would be better, as if every team wouldn't like to go back and have do-overs.
You talk about it a lot. I'd just like to get it on paper so we can go back and check. We can do it every year. And the in a few years we can go back and debate how large a Super Bowl victory Team SoulDawg would have had if only the front office had listened.
SD:
I respectfully decline at this time , because all too often you approached me with Olive branches and then tried to turn around and cram em , but mostly because your just playin with yourself on this issue.
Look man with all due respect mock drafts are for suckers , they mean diddly .
They're fun bets , and pickems and ESPN even has a $1,000,000.00 payout for anybody who can name all 32 and get it right .
None of which solves the Browns problems which was my criticism lodged up in an earlier response.
Guys who track players and talent have an eye and a gift , but they aren't privy to the mechanizations of teams or their politics .
However it doesn't take a rocket scientist to confirm what we allready know the Browns have done poorly .
The main reason is they don't have progressive instinctual operations managers .
Ozzie has real talent , the inbred consistantly outperform us even when they pick last in the draft after winning a Championship , thats outright fuckin pitiful.
Heckert may or may or maynot develop that latent skill , to sniff out the football players left in the wreckage after the first two rounds where you can damn near throw darts and come up with starters , (except for the dumbass Browns as of late that is ) .
But if we're to ever be successful , he's gonna have to .
There's a place for the Montgomeries and Freidrick Pauluses , and then there's a place for Patton and Rommel , guys who can think on their feet and respond to ever changing landscape.
Heckert showed me no such genius last year , in a daft which was three rounds deep because of all the extra junior entrants we scored but average grade IMO and although he was proved out about Ward , he traded up for an injury prone back wasting valuable resources on a talent deficient team while Ozzie landed two 5 story buildings on his DL in the spot he vacated.
But was that Heckerts fault or team Politics while they acted like they supported Mangy while drafting all guys who fit their WCO transition.
