Draft Wisdom/Folly III

Looks like Stephen Jackson + Kevin Jones are rising high enough in the draft for at least one of them to be picked in the top 8. And with Manning/Fitzgerald/Roethlisberger seemingly entrenched in the top 3 spots, the odds look pretty good the Browns will have a shot at one of the top OL prospects. In fact, no matter what happens the Browns can get an impact player.

Reading about Shawn Andrews, I wonder if he's going to be on the Browns radar when all the scouting is done. Character issues? Weight problems? Considering the questionable 1st round picks of 1999-2002, I wonder if the Browns will want to play it safe and go with someone else. But he'd still probably be my pick at this point.

Some rumors around the net say the Browns are really liking Ben Roethlisberger and Robert Gallery, though both will go before #7/8. Gallery sounds pretty awesome to me.

If Miami S Sean Taylor drops to the Browns and Andrews is gone, I bet Taylor is the pick. It would immediately make Robert Griffith a cap casualty and Taylor is probably the safest impact-player in the draft. We are dying for OL help, but it'd be tough to complain about getting a guy like this.
