Default Browns draft picks

They have the #4 and #22 pick in the 1st round.

A top 5 pick in Round #2.

A top 5 pick in Round #3

And two picks in Round #4 including a top five in that round (obviously)

They will also get to play a last place schedule next year -- because they finished dead last in the division.

The beauty about the NFL is that failure is heavily rewarded. It's probably the closest thing to Communism going in America...and certainly it is Communism in the most perfect form possible.

No one has been losing as consistently as the Browns over the last six or so years -- and finally it's going to start paying off as the drafts have been improving, free agent signing room is there, and the two divisional kingpins are getting very old.

Can't wait for the Draft. Certainly far more interesting and exciting than the playoffs ever are.

The question of tonight ... will Trent Richardson have a monster game and play his way onto the Browns?

If they pick a RB number four overall...I am done with football forever.

If Griffin is available at 4 and they don't take him, I quit.

They get the AFC west and the NFC east next year. No walkovers, they might be the two worst divisions in the NFL but they consistently beat up on each other and often surprise the rest of the league. Colts and Bills are their swing games. They might still have some problems next year.

Fellow last place teams.

Better than having to see the Patriots and Texans anyway.

DS, Randy Moss doesn't play for the Browns, why the sudden interest?

True but no walkovers for sure.

I think Blackmon is the guy if he posts elite numbers at the combine.

How many sophomores have won the Biletnikoff besides Randy Moss? I realize he plays in a confrence where the scoring is like pinball -- but no one seems to handle him. He owned Prince Amukamara last year as a sophomore. 3 TD catches and two more important 4th and 5 conversions in the bowl win over Stanford where he beat Luck for the MVP.

He doesn't have Moss size, Moss speed, Moss hands, Moss production at the college level ... but he goes over the middle un-like Moss ... and that's what's important in this New-age NFL where the ref's are moved behind the QB to open the middle of the field and the defensive backs aren't allowed to breath on or hit the WR's.

There are about 40 WR's and 15 TE's now who own it underneath like Jerry Rice did.

I've watched them lose a lot of games on local TV the last ten years. Want to jump on the bandwagon and adopt them as my team right before things start to get good.

Kid is a beast and if he is anywhere near as good as Dez (I think he will be much better actually) then he would be a good fit.

I'm thinking St Louis takes him at number 2 and he's gone.
