They thought the quality centers might go sooner than projected and based on subsequent picks, they were right. They deserve some credit for that.<br /><br />I hate the Robiskie pick. Not that Brian Robiskie is a bad prospect, but as others have noted, there were much better ones available at #36. Frankly, this pick looks like it was made by the marketing department after taking a look at season ticket renewals.<br /><br />Biggest beef overall -- once again, the Browns devoted too many high picks to the offensive side of the ball. I mean, c'mon, with all of the gaping holes on defense, how can they spend two second round picks on WRs? <br /><br />The Browns appear to be incapable of learning from the Lost Decade's parade of day one WR picks: Kevin Johnson, Dennis Northcutt, JaJuan Dawson, Quincy Morgan, Andre Davis, Kellen Winslow, Braylon Edwards and Travis Wilson. <br /><br />All of these guys were first day picks, and yet none of them prospered with the Browns, due either to their own incompetence, the team's baffling inability to figure out how to use them, or, in the case of Kellen Winslow, the incredible immaturity of both the player and the front office.<br /><br />Overall, a typically depressing performance for the AFC's most consistently depressing franchise.Hornless Rhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358963520899550238noreply@blogger.com
