2010 DBN Big Board

The DBN Big Board is back.

There are many draft gurus and player rankings out there this time of year, but not many that are specifically Browns-oriented.  In anticipation of the Draft, I want to collectively rank the prospects as an online community.  Do you think we should always take the best player available?  Do you think our team-specific needs should play a role in who we value in the draft?  How do you think the players stack up?

This is your chance to vote.

Around the Pound (3/21): Trade Interest in Chris Gocong, No Interest in Veteran O-Linemen

In today's edition of Around the Pound, we take a look at trade rumors that began circulating a few days ago involving linebacker Chris Gocong, Tony Grossi's dismissal of veteran offensive linemen the Cleveland Browns might be interested in, Terry Pluto's Sunday column, and more.

Rumors of a Browns/Eagles Deal for Chris Gocong

Tommy Lawlor, who writes for Eagles Blitz and also is a contributing writer to the Philadelphia Eagles website, posted a tidbits regarding the Browns in his rumor mill a few days ago:

Cleveland is talking to the Eagles about Chris Gocong.  Tom Heckert is the man who drafted Chris and Eric Mangini is the coach who coveted Gocong back in the 2006 draft.  Chris actually thought he was going to be a Jet.  He was caught off guard by the Eagles.  We'll see if the teams can agree on compensation.  Word is that the Eagles are hoping for a 4th round pick.

On Friday, Lawlor had an update regarding the situation on his blog:

Community Guidelines

With the start of free agency, we have seen a pretty big spike in the number of new posters to the website.  With the draft right around the corner, I fully expect that number to grow.

I thought that this would be a good time to re-post the Community Guidelines that have been laid out here at DBN. 

I don't want this to sound like I am trying to come down on certain posters or newbies.  Here at DBN, we are always happy to have new, intelligent posters that bring new angles to discussions.  This is just a friendly reminder to everyone here on the website that we need to follow the rules and guidelines that makes this the best Browns website on the face of the planet (it's true, Joe Thomas told me that).

Again I will only highlight a few hot button issues, but I urge you to check out the entire list here.  If you ever need this link in the future it is in the top right box under the search bar.  There are some reminders and notes on there that even I forget at times.

Around the Pound (3/18): Holmgren on Tebow, Anderson to Arizona

Tim Tebow, left, talks with Cleveland Brown's president Mike Holmgren, during Pro Day in Gainesville, Fla., Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Tebow returned to Florida Field to unveil his new throwing motion for NFL coaches, general managers and scouts. It could be key to where the former Heisman Trophy winner gets drafted next month.

In today's edition of Around the Pound, we intentionally force many Browns fans to gouge their eyes out with the photograph of Tim Tebow and Mike Holmgren above, among other things including the new home of quarterback Derek Anderson.

Tim Tebow's Pro Day Draws Mike Holmgren

Remember how the Cleveland Browns acquired an extra third-round draft pick, and that we don't have a young quarterback (excluding Brett Ratliff) on our roster? That could be where Florida QB Tim Tebow enters the picture. Has a college player ever been so hyped/discussed with the intention of them not being drafted in the first two rounds?

Jake Delhomme's Introduction Presser With the Browns (Recap)

"I can still complete this pass, I know it!"

"I can still complete this pass, I know it!"

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme met with the Cleveland media for the first time since signing with the team recently. The money we're paying Delhomme makes it appear as though he will start ahead of Seneca Wallace, but the starting job was never guaranteed in the process of luring Delhomme to Cleveland. The full transcript can be read here; a recap with my select comments are below.

"I have to emphasize this ring in every picture taken of me."

I meant to get this up yesterday, as I'm sure by now that many of you have already digested what Mike Holmgren and Eric Mangini stated in Monday's press conference that addressed the trading of Brady Quinn and Kamerion Wimbley. If you'd like to read the full transcript, you may do so here. Otherwise, continue on to see some select quotes and comments.
