Cleveland Browns: What's more exciting? Free Agency or the Draft? Let's focus on the offense today... posted by Edward Stefanyak
Let's face it; if you're a Browns' fan, you already know that we have many needs. Our new GM, Tom Heckert likes to build through the draft, and we have 11 picks but is that enough? Probably not. We need some free agents to fill some holes, or we could also trade for players.
Offense:
After reading Amari Harris' blog, he's right. We need a solid QB. Keep in mind; I love DA's strong arm, and I want Brady Quinn to succeed but I'm not convinced that either one is the answer. But, what options do we have? We could look to free agency, but did you see that list of free agent QBs? The list includes Jason Campbell, Kyle Orton, Mike Vick, and Chad Pennington. Good luck with all that. Another option is to trade for a QB, but who is available? One option could be Kevin Kolb from Philadelphia. GM Heckert has ties to Philly, so maybe this could be an option....for a steep price of course. Kolb has a nice arm, and he has some experience running a WCO. Now, according to Harris' blog, he likes Sam Bradford...later in the draft, but I'm not so sure. I like Tony Pike from Cincy, Jevan Snead from Ole Miss, and Dan LeFevour from Central Michigan. All three QBs have had some success with less talent around them. Other QBs like Bradford, Tebow, and Clausen were surrounded by talent, and talent should win you games. Winning games equals success; success equals ESPN falling in love with you.
If we re-sign Jerome Harrison, we will have three nice RBs: Harrison, Chris Jennings, and James Davis. If you are not happy with those players, there are some interesting FAs. FA RBs include LenDale White of the Titans, Mike Bell of the Saints, Darren Sproles of the Chargers, and Cadillac Williams of the Bucs. Other RBs appear to be up in age, part-time players, or restricted FAs. Also, the draft offers some interesting talent, such as CJ Spiller of Clemson, Jahvid Best of California, or Toby Gerhart of Stanford. Truthfully, the draft is loaded with great RBs. I just arbitrarily picked these three.
