Rumors Just Won't Die

Well, the end to the rumors is nowhere in sight. I guess that's what you get when an entire organization keeps everything hush.

But, wait ... Kokinis is holding a press conference Thursday (thanks to our friends at The OBR for this news).

Whatever will the rookie GM talk about? Perhaps he'll quell some of these ridiculous rumors. Or, perhaps announce some monumental news. Maybe even proclaim to the world the Browns' master plan for winning (yeah, right).

Call it a coincidence, but the NFL is releasing the 2009 Regular Season schedule tomorrow. Hmm ... could that, and not some historic announcement, be the reason for the press conference? That's my bet. I mean, what would the reason for a pre-draft press conference be ... he's not going to make public Cleveland's draft strategy.

Then again, you never know with this organization.

  1. Why would the Browns consider trading Quinn for a 1st round pick this year that they would use on Sanchez? This makes no sense unless we get a 1st this year and next year or multiple picks. Also, I would think DA has a higher trade value since he is a little more proven than Quinn and was a 1 time Pro-Bowler. However, DA has shown his weakness where Quinn hasn't really had the opportunity to dissapoint us yet. I'd like to see us trade DA and get some help on Defense with the picks we acquire.

    I don't mind getting rid of Edwards as long as we can get a couple good draft picks in return. What we do with those draft picks is huge though. I would hate to see us waste money and a high pick on Crabtree. Yes he is a stud but so was a LOT of other WR taken in the first round over the last several years. They end up being a flop. My theory is don't waste a high draft pick on a skill position like WR or RB. Instead let's use it for someone who plays every down like an OL or some Defense. They cost less in salary and generally have a bigger impact.

    Bottom line is we need to build a stellar D. Teams have won it all and have had success with a great Defense and a mediocre Offense. That should be our strategy with this draft.
