I applaud you!
Good job guys.
7(7) Joe Haden, CB, Florida
He´s probably the hardest Free Safety in the draft, with a very good mind and game instinct.
6(38) T.J. Ward, FS, Oregon
Good looking square little safety, are we dumping the willing and able Abe Elam? Well, if you do this guy packs a punch at Strong Safety.
21(85) Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
If I had to go to war with a QB, he´s my choice. Slice of football heaven possibly.
27(95) Montario Hardesty, RB, Tennessee
Wow, respect. He was my choice for a steady eddy tailback. Now hook him up with Hillis in an I-Formation and we´re rocking hard.
28(92) Shawn Lauvao, OT, Arizona State
To me the top flight guard in the draft. Want him at scrappy right tackle? That´ll work.
Why does mooncamping feel compelled to comment on this? Being the true devil´s advocate, and tolerated as your virtual GM for a while, and now as a consultant of sorts, fantasy island or not. I´m quite pleased. Thanks for letting me part of the deliberation processes.

Will Lauvao be shouting “PUPPY POWER!!” before every snap? That would at the very LEAST make the defender flich with laughter before every play.

Alright guys, lets round out the rest of the draft:
5(160) Larry Asante, S, Nebraska
Solid little guy, that can launch his body through moving objects. If Abe Elam is indeed replacable, it tells me this guy should be the strong safety, and E.J. Ward would be free safety. I do feel strongly though, that a cornerback needs to be fast, thus I assume Joe Haden is to be, the what do you call it? Nickelback? I assume you still believe in Eric Wright, as a what do you call those guys who rarely hit? Cover Cornerback? As well, as who do you project as the cornerback on the other side? Sheldon Brown or Coye Francies? It´s not mooncamping´s fantasy defensive backfield. I wanted tall, wiry, yet fast man coverage cornerbacks. But yeah, geez, what a group of potential safeties now.
6(177) Carlton Mitchell, WR, South Florida
Nice tall sleek ball getter. You now have justification to bench Brian Robiskie, or turn him into a possession receiver.
6(186) Clifton Geathers, DE, South Carolina
Wow, what to make of this choice? Most of you read mooncamping´s commentary on Barnum and Bailey proportioned players, midgets and giants, and how the game must bend to their fortes. This guy looks intriguing though. Could it be that we found the rare exception of a guy that can play Offensive Tackle at that size? Otherwise, I would tender him as a punt and kick blocker in the interior defensive line. Situational that is. Maybe even as a corner of the end-zone placement type pass option, when we get into the red zone?
Otherwise, I´d like to say, that Mike Holmgren got exceedingly lucky to get Colt McCoy in his preferred devalued draft slot of round 3 max for his quarterback experiments. I´m appauled that the first thing post draft, would be to declare that Colt McCoy will not start as a rookie.
The awesome guard Shawn Lauvao is faced with the predicament of being called a depth player for the offensive line. Cowards.
And Montario Hardesty is designated “a physical cut back runningback”, pressed into the mold of Sean Alexander, who never hit a hole in his life, rather than Clinton Portis.
I had an inkling that you guys would end up self impeding again, so you have greater control. It really puts a damper on my enthusiasm about what could have been a brilliant draft.
mooncamping is now referring to himself in the 3rd person.
It would seem to me, that you feel threatened by the Eric Ghiaciuc acquisition.

Well, Stitch is a cloned alien from one original mutant monster. Stitich was the second to last clone to be created out of like 490.(?) So that’s why that makes sense to me. Each clone had they’re own special ability. So “the funny one” or “the hippie one”

Alright guys, change of focus. I saw who else the Browns picked up. I´m happy to say that according to mooncamping we now have a full roster, as such:
QB Colt McCoy
FB Peyton Hillis/DeAngelo Williams
TB Montario Hardesty
OT Joe Thomas
OG Eric Ghiaciuc
C Eric Steinbach
OG Bill Yates
OT Sean Luvao
FL Aaron Valentin
WR Mohamed Massaquoi
TE Evan Moore
DT Ahtyba Rubin
DT Shaun Rogers/Alex Mack
DT Titus Adams
OLB David Veikune
ILB Jon Dempsey
ILB Daniel Howard
OLB Eryk Anders
FS Larry Asante
SS Abe Elam
CB Sheldon Brown
CB Eric Wright
Also good pickups for the 4-3 personell with the ends Auston English and Swanson Miller.
I can’t wait for ESPN to pick this one up now.
Cleveland Browns fan blog DawgsByNature.com has a post clamoring for the team to shift Alex Mack to DT and acquire RB DeAngelo Williams via whatever means possible. Could Mike Holmgren be the guy to persuade Williams to rejoin Delhomme?
by skipkirk on May 2, 2010 8:36 AM EDT up reply actions 3 recs
at least Veikune is at outside linebacker.

Just the fact that things like CB, RB/FB, QB, an safety are within reason. Linebacker is still a bit out there.

You think it is reasonable to trade a ton for DeAngelo Williams just to move him to FB?

I was certain Eric Wright athletically is comparable to Ryan Clark, my favorite free safety, even though he´s playing strong safety behind the rover safety Troy Polamalu. But what´s in your head, determination, attitude, and in football yes, aggression and a desire for contact, is just as important. I know they hide him behind the clever determinant “cover corner”, but sorry, football is a contact sport.
but sorry, football is a contact sport.
Don’t tell that to Deion Sanders.
by Bernie19Kosar on May 3, 2010 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, you guys know I´ve always called for sporty linebackers, you know, guys that can move, with a knack for contact. Looks like some of these pick-ups might fit the mold.
DeAngelo Williams blocked for Jonathan Stewart, no?
I mean it´s good to have another back, but with Lawrence Vickers and Peyton Hillis it´s almost a bit superfluous. I had Hardesty and Dixon down as the most capable tailbacks, hope I´m right.
wow…no…he really didn’t Johnathan stewart was the backup, change of pace running back. it was a RB tandem but if you had to point to the “feature” guy it was Williams. Neither one was blocking for each other that often.
Here is a exerpt from a scouting report of DeAngelo Williams
Cons: His main flaw at this point is his blocking and whether he can handle linebackers in single assignments, something he struggled with at the Senior Bowl.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Are we really using a draft scouting report to prove that DeAngelo Williams doesn’t block?
by Bernie19Kosar on May 3, 2010 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions
He is doesn’t really block in general. he does some on passing downs, but still isn’t a blocker at all good enough to be a fullback. He has improved since then in his pass blocking ability but still doesn’t really run block.
I didn’t use the scouting point purely to point out that he doesn’t block, just some interesting info on how his blocking has been viewed.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
I was alluding to the fact that we really don’t need to be bringing up 4 year old scouting reports to realize that DeAngelo Williams isn’t a blocking back.
Anyone who pays even a little attention to the NFL could come up with that conclusion.
by Bernie19Kosar on May 3, 2010 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Or they could realize that moon thought Williams was a blocking FB for The Daily Show, and forget about the whole thing.

I´d like to end this thread on a good note. Training camp still holds a lot of possibilities. I was looking for one of last year´s prospects, and I stumbled across this:
www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=243529
It´s this guy´s compilation of his favorite picks from last year´s draft. It corresponds pretty close to my assessments from last year. And after checking nfl.com, I could ascertain that some pretty good ones haven´t made their way onto anyone´s roster. This shows me how fast some of these talents are rotated out of NFL roster contention.
