Browns draft 2010....

How I think the Browns draft can/should go:

1st: Joe Haden, CB Florida (Eric Berry, FS Tenn.)

2nd: OLB- Graham, Mich.--> Hughes, TCU--> Kindle, Texas--> Sapp, Clemson

3rd:

A: Brandon Spikes, ILB Florida --> Sean Lee, ILB Penn State --> Alex Carrington, DE Ark. St.

B: Jacoby Ford, WR Clemson

C: QB- Tim Tebow, FL--> Tony Pike, Cincinnati

4th: Kam Chancellor, FS Kansas [Berry-> Syd'Quan Thompson, CB Cal]

5th:

A: Myron Rolle, SS FSU
B: OT- Calloway, Iowa--> Wang, Va. Tech--> Young, ND--> Ulatoski, Texas
C: Brandon Carter, OG Texas Tech
D: Myron Lewis, CB Vanderbilt

6th:

A: Danario Alexander, WR Mizzou

B: Clifton Geathers, DE South Carolina or Vince Oghobasse, DT/DE Duke

UDFA- (in order of probable availability)

Jeffrey Fitzgerald, DE Ka. State
Cameron Sheffield, OLB Troy
Nolan Carroll CB, Maryland
A.J. Wallace, CB PSU
Caz Piurowski, TE FSU

NOTES: Eric Berry is the choice if he's available, Haden is a solid backup. Then of course if you go Berry in the first you go Syd'Quan Thompson in the 4th.

The "Name --> Name --> Name" denotes who they should go first and if they're not there the choice then so on...

I am probably overestimating the Browns need for LBs and underestimating their need for DEs, but compared to the DE talent available in the 2nd and 3rd and with the Wimbley trade along with the possibility of Spikes and Lee being there the talent gap is too much to justify going DE. I think they definitely need help at that position and Dallas and New Orleans have some free agents available, it is a situation that needs to addressed... AND that's with me assuming that Rubin will start at NT and Rogers at DE, along with Coleman, Mosley and Robaire Smith (all who are up there in age I believe, minus Rubin, and I have concerns about durability.)

Rubin is the more traditional stay at home 2-gap NT, but Rogers is by far the more talented; it's just that that talent is sometimes constrained by his responsibilities or he gets out of position as his ability and talent at pursuit and beating the opposing linemen get him out of his assignment in the defense. I believe it's been discussed but Rogers at DE and cutting him loose, kind of allowing his talent and abilities to sort of be the 2-gap responsibility versus holding him back and having them occupy o-linemen, could be an option with Rubin being more of a stay at home traditional NT. This would cause more stress for and require the LBs to be more "read and react" cutting down on their statistical production but I think it would be offset by what Rogers utilized properly could bring to the table... or they could trade Rogers for even more picks this year or next and/or a DE or other defensive help.

Anyways the only other thing I can think of is that in these usual pseudo-mock drafts for all sports I usually have players going too high so I tried to take that into effect in putting this together.
