Season Summary:
Right now, it's almost hard to believe that the Browns would have made the playoffs a year ago if Tony Dungy hadn't foolishly benched his starters against the Titans. As a consolation prize, Cleveland fans were able to smile when a flat Indianapolis squad consequently bombed in the postseason as huge favorites against the Chargers. Unfortunately, that smile was wiped off once the Browns finished 1-8 after starting the 2008 campaign with a 3-4 mark. Other fans were also miserable; they had to endure countless nationally televised Cleveland games.
2009 NFL Draft Picks:
21. Alex Mack, C, California
A little early for Alex Mack? Maybe, but he's a heck of a prospect. He bolsters the front and makes the Browns running game potent again. Still, center wasn't nearly the team's biggest need, and there were tons of quality defensive players available. (Pick Grade: B)
36. Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
There aren't too many quality receivers left on the board, so I get why the Browns drafted Brian Robiskie. He's talented and fills a need. But what is Cleveland going to do on defense? Was Eric Mangini too busy delivering pizzas to watch the Browns-Eagles Monday night game? (Pick Grade: B)
50. Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia
Brian Robiskie was at least a highly regarded prospect. Mohamed Massaquoi? Not so much. He has his problems. This poor grade isn't based on Massaquoi's talent though; it's more that Cleveland doesn't understand positional value. (Pick Grade: D)
52. David Veikune, DE/OLB, Hawaii
Horrible value. It's never good to take a mid-round prospect in the second round. Based on what Eric Mangini has done today, I can't say I'm surprised. (Pick Grade: D)
104. Kaluka Maiava, LB, USC
Unlike some of their Day 1 picks, the Browns found solid value here. Kaluka Maiava also fills a need. (Pick Grade: B)
177. Don Carey, CB, Norfolk State
Another solid Day 2 pick. Corner depth is needed, and Don Carey belongs in this draft range. (Pick Grade: B)
191. Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State
Coye Francies has major character issues, but he's a really talented player. A great gamble in Round 6. (Pick Grade: A)
195. James Davis, RB, Clemson
James Davis provides great draft value and fills a need. Davis should be able to take over for Jamal Lewis. (Pick Grade: A)
Offseason Moves:
Divisional Rival History:
Baltimore Ravens: The new Browns swept the old Browns in 2007, but the old Browns returned the favor, sweeping the new Browns in 2008. Confused?
Cincinnati Bengals: Carson Palmer is 6-2 lifetime against the Browns, but he missed both meetings in 2008.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Will Cleveland ever beat the Steelers again? Pittsburgh has won 17 of the last 18 battles.
