Cleveland Browns 2010 NFL Draft Day 2 - Open Thread (Part 3)
This draft thread is for the discussion of round three. After the Browns traded up into the second round to draft Hardesty, here are the two remaining picks the Cleveland Browns have in the third round:
- 3rd Round: No. 85 overall
- 3rd Round: No. 92 overall
QB Colt McCoy is still on the board, and DE Corey Wootton is another player I'd like to target. Discuss round three in this thread!

I doubt we’ll see a WR at this point. I can’t see that anyone we’d pick up now at WR would be obviously better than what we have right now.

oh comeon. we need a burner to open up the field for the other guys. with out the field streached nothing happens. im thinking that guy from OU
I cant watch – either Holmgren gave Mangini way too much influence or Heckert did not have enough time to meld with the scouting staff. These moves are just as bad as last year.
yes that terrible draft we had last year… wait, no, i actually don’t think that happened.

We started with the no 5 overall and ended up with a nice center. 3 2nd rounders zilch – that was nice. Go drink your kool aid
a nice center, a staring DT, a starting S, a backup QB, a quality #2 maybe even #1 WR, and a project LB. I’ll admit Robi hasn’t shown much, but receivers are notorious for taking a long time to develop.

Sorry Dude - My Remark Was Uncalled For
Just frustrated and had high hopes for the draft. I just don’t like the positions, injury history, and speed of TJ Ward. Heckert knows more than me though anyway.
Ward’s speed is fine. Timed, at least.

thats plenty fast for a safety, and while Taylor Mays is more physically gifted, he’s not as good of a football player.

The comparison to Polamalu is not convincing, but Ward can be a good player.
But nothing is going to get rid of the injury concerns except him not being injured in the NFL.

I never saw a time anywhere near 4.68. He ran a 4.54 at the combine (the lowest time on your spectrum) than a 4.48 at his pro day. that isn’t berry, thomas or mays speed but thats right up there with Nate Allen and Chad Jones.
I wouldn’t say mays had a better college career. he had 3 interceptions in his freshman year and thats about it.
for a fast guy, when blitzing, mays had trouble getting to the QB. He made a lot of tackles in his career but a lot of those were assisted tackles Ward was much better at bringing the guy down on intial contact instead of needing multiple players.
mays isn’t a playmaker at all (one fumble forced, no sacks, 2 INTs in the last 3 years) compared to Ward ( 6 forced fumbles, 1 sack, 2 QB hurries, 2 INTs and 8 TFLs).
mays is a pure height/weight/speed guy with a midround tape. Ward is a guy with a late first round tape (would be higher with more INTs) butr not great speed and questionable durability.

He was productive at Ohio State despite non-awesome QBs, no red flags came up in terms of timed speed/measurements, he got over the top of several NFL CBs, he had great hands, and he exemplifies the things Mangini likes (character, hard work, football means something to them, etc.)
The biggest concern was his ability to make cuts and separate, which is probably why he didn’t get on the field. I also suspect OSU’s passing offense is really really simple, which would be a good reason he didn’t digest the playbook last year.

One thing is perfectly clear. If you watched the last 4 games last year. Get used to that old school approach. Run, Run, Run, Screen, Run, Run, Run,Run, CROSSING ROUTE, Run, Deep Ball…. Run, Run, Run….

With McCoy, now you’re getting into the territory where a team can draft him just to have a backup quarterback (meaning a team without a QB issue could grab him).
Dawgs By Nature - Covering the Cleveland Browns on SB Nation.
Nah, most teams don’t blow a 3rd on a backup. They draft him because they think he could be a starter. In the end, sadly, McNugget has been judged judged as a 5yr backup by the scouts. A slight upgrade to a Ken Dorsey. He just doesn’t have the physical attributes. Clearly the Browns scouting staff feels the same. He’s just not big enough. But ya, maybe someone takes him just to take him.

Yahoo has made me feel better:
Ward: T.J. Ward is simply a football player. He’s undersized and has some medical issues, but is really fluid when asked to redirect and find the football and loves to bring the wood vs. the run game. A really solid pick in Round 2.
Hardesty: A really talented back who has the ability to make people miss inside and accelerate into the open field. Runs hard and can break tackles, but has some real durability issues.
They are solid players!!

b) elam is more of a hybrid safety like ward. Elam isn’t a bad cover guy for a FS.
c) rob ryan has stated he doesn’t want a SS and FS, he wants 2 safeties who can play the run and pass and that is what elam and ward are.

I don’t hate the hardesty pick. I am not in love with it, but I think it was solid, even considering what we gave up. he has all the tools to be a feature back in the league. he has underrated speed, soft hands, good blocking, great vision, but he does lack in lateral mobility. he could still be a great runner and has been compared to another great running back who came out of Tennessee and was recently on the browns.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
for those still waiting for a qb: anyone we take now is developmental, agreed? What’s the point in drafting a development qb this year when we’ll probably have a high pick next year in a much deeper qb class? let’s just spend whatever later round pick on some depth at another position.
why not get a second round quality QB this year and get a get a great player in a different position next year with our first.
by The Brown Note on Apr 23, 2010 9:14 PM EDT up reply actions
why not get a second round quality other position and a first round quality qb? qb is more important than most positions
because its more likely a 1st round quality player at another position will be a 1st round quality player 2 years later than a qb will be. us browns fans know this all to well
its so hard to get a good qb in the later rounds. i know there is the huge bust potential when you pick them high, but when you pick them in the 2nd round and they dont turn out, then thats a pick wasted that should have been a starter as well
Perhaps if we’re in good position to take a top QB next year, we will.
Meanwhile, developmental QB learns this year and starts next year. If he shows promise, he starts the whole season, and maybe we have Brees/Rivers, Brady/Cassell, or Vick/Schaub situation.
It’s tough to say who will take McCoy at this point. Now it’s almost like, “gee, if we basically made it an afterthought to take the guy after having several opportunities, did we really even want him?”

This pick is the “In Holmgren I trust” pick. It was between Colt or Dan LeFevour and I suppose Holmgren likes Colt’s arm and such better. I’ll live with it.
Get this kid in the weight room though, buff him up and see if he can solidify his arm and prevent injury.

I can’t argue with #85 for the kid. Still don’t think he’s big enough. But he gets a year to soak up the offense. He’ll be a 3rd/4th stringer year one.

85. Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
I don’t like Colt McCoy as a prospect. I could be wrong, but I think he’s a mini-Kyle Orton. Having said that, he’s a great value toward the bottom of Round 3. He’s a natural fit for Cleveland’s West Coast offense, but why then did the Browns pass on him twice on Day 2? That’s the huge question. (Pick Grade: A)
Wow, I’d expect good ol’ Walter to slam this.
Knowing McCoy would fall to #85:…………

Coleman in the third

Yes! Brilliant indeed! I think he is as good a prospect QB as any in this draft including Bradford. Bradford has a lot of downside risk with his injuries last year and lack of play. McCoy will have one of the best QB developers on the planet in his corner. Bravo Browns!

The nice thing about taking him at 85 is that he can be a bust and it’s not a big deal. If they don’t like what they see then they can justify taking another QB next year.

When I took the test, AP had a deal where you could pay to take the AP government test and then take the AP comparative government test for free. So my entire class took the AP comparative government test without taking the class, which turned the thing into a big joke. In the end, though, I got a 5 in government and pulled off a miracle three in comparative government — I have no idea how this happened — and scored some extra credit hours for college.

Ill trust Heckert in the late rounds at this point. I don’t hate any of our picks but I definitely don’t love the trade up for hardesty. This team must have really liked Lauvao for that right guard spot. Lets hope the strength coach does some good work with these guys.
Still would like to see a wideout. Andre Roberts was a steal for the cards, I think.

Sort of, we’re drafting the BPA based on what we view as needs. The weird thing is, we’re actually considering “Need” as creating dominant sectors in our lineup. We looked to create a dominant DB situation. We did. We looked to create a dominant RB situation. We did. We looked to create a dominant Offensive Line and we did. And we got a hell of a QB prospect at 85 which won’t be considered a dismal failure if he busts.

There are some good TE’s left on the board — Hernandez, Pitta, Dickerson. I’d love to get one of them but we’d probably have to trade up to the 4th.
I think WR is a bigger need too. We need a slot guy with some speed. If Robo and MoMass are going to play on the outside we could use a speedy guy in the slot to stretch the defense.
"Smokescreen."
…except that goes away from our identity as a power running team. Why split the guy out wide when you can’t run from the spread (because of our personnel, not trying to get into the college offense stuff right now)?
Ben Watson is our guy to stretch the middle of the field. Versatility and multiplicity mean nothing if the defense knows what you are doing when you line up in a certain formation. Maybe if we had the most success from 3-wide sets we would need a speedy slot guy. We got the guy we needed (Watson), a slot WR would be just a bonus.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
what? you can run from 3 wide with no college trickeration or anything. If you have a slot receiver, especially one who is really fast, the defense generally has to put a nickelback on the field to cover him. This, in turn takes one of the front 7 out of the box, letting you run more effectively. You can be a power running team from whatever formations and personnel groupings you want.
We could have plenty of success out of 3 wide receiver formations if we had any receivers, right now I’d like to see us come away with at least one, and I wouldn’t mind if it was Jacoby Ford.
"Smokescreen."
WE can’t run from 3-wide.
The Browns’ personnel. Not some hypothetical in a vacuum theory.
Drafting Jacoby Ford wouldn’t change that. Really good play from Delhomme might, but I’m not counting on that.
