[Solon16]

OK to finish with 2007 and 2008 OOF = OUT OF FOOTBALL

2007 7 Picks: 4 with team....3 out of football

JT,BQ,Eric Wright, Brandon Mcdonald,{ Melila Purcell,Chase Pittman and steptoe} OOF

2008 6 Picks: 2 with team....2 out of football + 2 on Dev squad

Beau bell(oof), Martin Rucker (dev squad), Ahtyba Rubin, Paul Hubbard(dev squad), Allen Patrick(oof) Alex hall...


For a Grand total of I'll be generous and include the two practice squad players.....

53 PLAYERS OUT OF 82 DRAFTED BY BROWNS ARE OUT OF FOOTBALL AS OF DRAFT CLASS THRU 2008....

12 OF 82 STILL WITH THE BROWNS + 2 DEV SQUAD 12 OUT OF 82 PICKS!!!!! 6 OF THOSE FROM 07', 08' **** AMENDMENT NEEDED

HERE IS SOLE REASON WE SUCK AS A FOOTBALL TEAM........ONLY 29 PLAYERS DRAFTED IN 82 TRIES PLAY IN THE NFL!!!

ONLY FKN 12 ARE STILL WITH THE BROWNS AND HALF THAT ARE GUYS IN THE LEAGUE 2 YEARS OR LESS!!!

RAVENS DRAFT CLASS OF 1999 AND 2000 = 6 of 10 still playing in league...AND THEY ONLY HAD 10 PICKS IN 2 DRAFT CLASSES...

[Sez.EJ]

If your making a case that we are the worse drafting team ever.. Ok.. I'll buy that.. onward to the next decade.. Let's home H3 can alter the course of that river of busts..
Actually..let's hope last years draft begins the turning around of things.. I still have great hopes for last years class and think it still could be a great draft for us..especially if momass, robo and veikune begin to contibute.. or turn in to solid/great players for us..certainly all 3 of these guys have solid physical tools and the sky is the limit.. we will see..

[OzDawg]

being honest.. not still in the league is not a measurable.. it's a SMALL league!
at any 1 position , there are only 32 starters league wide.. rest are fill in. "IF" someone is actually league calibre..and they hold that starter slot for say.. 5 years only.. that just negated a couple thousand other guys starting in that same slot.

motto should be.. thankwhoever I actually made it this far

[Fooleeze]

Some of this drafting ineptitude has to be attributed to the constant changeover of regimes and the teams inability to coach players and put them to good use. How many of the players the Browns drafted would become 'successes' (at least still in the league) had they been drafted by an un-disfunctional organization? There's an answer we'll never know, but I truly believe many of the 'busts' would have had more success with a more stable / successful franchise.
