PrintHello Browns Fans,
I had an idea for a mock draft in which your sports nation site acts as your team. Over the next few months I plan to visit each team's site and allow for each reader to help pick your team's draft pick. Please answer the poll to select your team's draft pick.
Just to give you a little more on this idea and myself, I am a writer for bleacherbumsports.net and will continue to organize all of the draft information I receive through my site. The poll will be up for 3 days after which the player with the most votes is your teams draft pick. I will then move on to the next site and have them pick from which players are left. This will only be a first round draft and can not involve trades so please pick where your team currently is. I would really appreciate everyones help with this. Thanks in advance! - Sam
Current Draft:
1. Colts - QB Andrew Luck
2. Rams - WR Justin Blackmon
3. Vikings - OT Matt Kalil
The Poll will be open until Jan.18 at 1pm.This is a fan-created post. Dawgs By Nature assumes no responsibility for the content listed.

This is an easy one. There’s no chance RG3 doesn’t win this by a massive landslide.

Well, yeah, especially without trades being allowed. Thats why Blackmon went to the Rams, which does suprise me – didn’t they learn from this past year about not having a stud LT there to protect the QB?

It doesn’t surprise me with it being a fan vote that they chose a more flashy pick. But I agree that Kalil is the smarter pick, especially with a deep WR free agency.

I would like to pick up one or two of those FA WR’s. Use the draft picks for other positions.

And a FA RT as well. (Couldn’t resist.)

It would certainly help relieve some pressure.

They don’t appreciate LT like we do.

I see the Rams as less likely to trade down than the Vikings. I don’t think you pass up a chance at an LT like Kalil — he is Jake Long good. (No one is Joe Thomas good.)

I agree. Whether it be Kalil or Blackmon I think St. Louis is going to want to add one of those guys to their offense to help out their first round QB.

If the Rams’s fans picked Matt Kalil, would the Vikings’ fans have taken Blackmon? I’m thinking yes.
Question: Other than Andrew Luck, is there a player who, if he is still on the board, you would take instead of Griffin?
No. But then again, I don’t get to go to pro days or watch all the game film or interview anyone.

Blackmon. Weaponize the QB.

Nevermind, I looked him up. Why in the world would he be in a poll about the #4 pick?

He’s going to be one of those top OT in the draft probably. A first rounder because of position. How much had you heard about Nate Solder around this time last year?

Not much, but admittedly, I don’t really get into draft prospects and scouting, I let that up to you guys and to what I see in the limited number of college games I see each year. Penn State played Iowa, of course, but I wasn’t really focusing on their LT.
My opinion is this: outside of the big name guys and our top couple of picks, I don’t do draft analysis. I just welcome the guys as Brownies after we’ve selected them.

Reiff is good. He’s not Joe Thomas but he’ll be drafted relatively high. That’s about all you need to know. I would maybe be ok with him at 22 but not at 4, and I don’t think he’ll last till 22. Someone way off the radar for us at this point.

Much to my own dismay, I voted for Griffin if only so we could potentially use him as trade bait. It hurts me that Blackmon was already taken off the board.

This proposed draft would be the best case scenario for the Browns.

This site has it so right.

Scarred Old Slaver knows he's doin' alright, hear him whip the women just around midnite. "Brown Sugar", The Rolling Stones
Picks from Drafttek.com
RB Richardson Alabama, DE Mercilus Illinois, WR Jeffery S.Carolina & RT Allen Illinois. This would be a dream come true. Gotta give Colt some weapons, protection and getting another legit pass rusher. Go for LB or 2 in free agency.

How big is Mercilus? Like really how big, not how big is he listed.

nope. There is no way they go Richardson and this is ignoring the fact that Jeffery does NOT drop to the 37th pick. We may not be able to get him at 22.

Have these Drafttek guys got a clue?
I can only hope they don’t go Richardson. And you’re right, no way Jeffrey lasts until 37. Would love to get Mercilus @ 37, if only for the name, but he won’t last that long either. An RT in the 3rd round sounds about the right place though.
I'm entitled to my opinion. Especially if I'm wrong.

I have no idea. They have Weeden going in the top 20 so there is a chance they just read some college football box scores and that’s about it.

that’s what I was thinking, Jeffery probably gets drafted in the 12-18 range along with Michael Floyd. I like the Mercilus pick at 22 if his measureables turn out to be accurate. I simply don’t understand how in the world all theses draft geeks can look at the Browns and say yep Trent Richardson is exactly what they need. It makes no sense.
the even more annoying part is the people who see all those mock drafts and think Richardson is a good pick b/c some Joe at Drafttek said so. I can’t wait for Todd McShay’s first mock draft where he has the Browns drafting Chase Minnifield 4th overall.
I’m probably the last person who’s noticed this, but Chase Minnifield is Frank Minnifield’s son. Not that we should pick him…
We should pick him at 37 if we can. Not just because he is Frank’s son, but because he is a really, really good player. This is not like taking Casey matthews in the 4th round, but much more like going after Clay

I would love to get him at 37 but I don’t think he will last that long in the draft. NE is starting a WR at corner Minnifield would be a perfect fit on their defense.
I think minnifield very well may last until 37. There is no guarantee that he is the CB that NE gets and there still could be another available for them.

This is probably the most accurate statement I have heard. I actually think the Browns might select him because he could be BPA at the time and not necessarily based on need.
Maybe but I think most of these guys say BPA, and mostly draft BPA, but at the end of the day know they aren’t touching a RB, FB, or LB in the top 5.
nothing in their mock drafts makes sense.

Thank you for voting everyone!
I’ll be sure to let you all know when this is all said and done
