Nick Speegle used to hunt bear with a hunting knife. Mary Kay told me that.

[Brown Warrior]

That list freaks me out... because about 80% of them, at one time or another, I thought they were the greatest players in the history of football.

What happened to James Davis? I thought he was gonna be all that for a minute?

[Sez.EJ]

Solon what's the deal. You want to make us suicidal revisiting past drafts

[PlaygroundLegend]

I still have and wear my Kevin Johnson jersey. I still think he was a great player.

[Solon16]

you guys are great...After each draft I remember the same thing...."these guys are great, this guy with be stud etc etc...LOL We are the worst drafting team since 99 hands down...


Holmgren is Heckert is the best we've had. which means what exactly?...don't know...but the please temper the fervor...just a tad.

Go Browns

[nickers]

I always thought Darrin Chiaverini was gonna be the next Brian Brennan...Man was I ever wrong!

[Enigmatic Evil]

Chaun Thompson was a SECOND ROUND PICK are you freaking kidding me?! I thought we drafted him in 3 or 4th round tops. WOW. Spergeon Wynn... seen him play some CFL Games. He did didly squat for us. Man some of those older drafts 1999-2004 really make me shake my head. No strategy, no rhyme or reason really when you think about it. It's really no wonder why we've been stuck in this rut, so to speak. We finally have someone running this team who understands how to BUILD a team.

Thanks for the reality check, Solon.

[Brown Warrior]

KJ was good for two years. Then he became an expert at turning five yard catches into five yard gains. That kid could get to the ground faster than anybody I'd ever seen.

Solon, you are the very definition of "wet blanket" this week.

I'm not sure what point you are making by revisiting Browns 2.0 drafts since we have all been over their shittiness a million times.

But if "temper the fervor" is your new fan slogan, you can count me out. That's absolutely the worst kind of thing ever posted in quasi-seriousness on a FAN message board.

"Temper the fervor" for what purpose, exactly? To join you in your pseudo-guru draftnik funk? So you can feel good about...what exactly? I'm not even sure what you're on about other than a third round pick you REALLY REALLY REALLY want back.

Listen, this is a fan message board. It's for fans -- and fun. It's for expressing passion about an entirely meaningless and ultimately worthless, thankless and purposeless activity: following a for-profit entity that employs uncommonly large men who do dangerously stupid things.

Hey, whatta ya know? Between the two of us, we came up with the PERFECT tagline to destroy the NFL forever:

The National Football League: "Temper your fervor! We take your money to employ uncommonly large men doing dangerously stupid things!"

I believe the new term for your post is: DERP.

[Sez.EJ]

Solon is right.. Sure we are excited after the draft and it's a bit of a damper..Just because we have been the worst drafting team in the past does not mean it cannot change.. Hope springs eternal at draft time. After all I am an optimist.. I could not be Browns fan after all these years if I wasn't. I know this draft is not launching us to the superbowl...but it may be the cornerstone of good things to come.
