Isn't he a 3-4 NT simular to Rubin. I thought he was more of a two gap guy team were looking 3-4 were looking at for NT. I saw somewhere in a mock that he was projected to go to NE at the end of round one.

I believe that's right. I think NFLN was talking about him as the top NT.

Coveted as a 3-4 NT...But can play both NT and DT! BIG BIG BOY...And athletic for size.

Not quick enough to play the under tackle next to Rubin. Liuget would be great if he fell. I like that South Florida kid in three, or Casey. I'd take the RDE over the under tackle myself.

Do you ever feel like the Browns are actually an experiment in fan loyalty that won't be revealed for decades? This is from Pompei. I sincerely would not watch one play if this actually happened.

Thankfully, it feels too absurd even for the Browns and seems to disregard the fact that Seneca Wallace has already been signed as the backup:

*It would seem to be that at the age of 36, Jake Delhomme would appear to be at the stage of his career where he would make an ideal backup. But it’s starting to look like he either will be brought back to Cleveland as a starter, or he won’t be brought back at all. My Browns peeps tell me everyone really wants Colt McCoy to be the starter. But if the work stoppage drags on into the summer, McCoy, a second year player, might not have enough time to learn what he needs to learn and prove to new head coach Pat Shurmur that he’s ready to start. In that case, the team will likely feel more comfortable with the veteran Delhomme. Bringing him back to Cleveland as a backup is complicated. Delhomme has told the team he has no intention of being a backup. He wants to start. That means he might not be willing to take a paycut. And he’s probably making too much to be brought back as a No. 2. If not for the labor situation, Delhomme would probably already be a former Brown.

Pure speculation for someone obviously not very informed about the Browns. As I've said in the past some journalists (and I use the term loosely) spin anything just to make a story because they don't have anything better to print or are to lazy to actually go out and get a story with some teeth.

Then you haven't seen Taylor play play! He wont make it to the second. he's very quick for a big man...he's "shaun rogers motivated" quick. If we trade back I'd love to get him. Just like my preference for bookend Tackles on O ...I have a preference for "closed Book end DT's"as well...in a 4-3
