Draft is about over, and we are still trying to figure out what the Browns are looking for


If you were sitting in front of the tv looking for the Browns to draft some pf the late-round prospects mentioned the last few weeks, you've been dissappointed as the players acquired by the Browns were not ones you would have expected. Nor did they pick another linebacker. And only on defensive back. In fact, the team seems to be drafting for depth by choosing: Lee Suggs RB, Ryan Pontbriand C, Mike Lehan CB, and Antonio Garay DL. If nothing else, this gives us plenty to speculate upon.


Not drafting a linebacker and the Ravens drafting Terrell Suggs (who will play LB in the 3-4) increases the likelihood that Jamir Miller can be resigned. Will that happen? I hope so because the Browns will sorely need him. But with the draft over their may be some other teams who enter the picture for his services.


With the Browns drafting Lee Suggs in the 4th -- a great value if he is healthy -- does that mean Jamel White is getting traded? Or does it mean James Jackson is getting cut? There will be lots of speculation that White is gone, but Suggs is not known as a great receiver. So my first guess is that White stays.


More later..
