Frye in the Third; a Great First Day

Charlie Frye at #67? Yep. I was not thrilled about the prospect of picking him at the top of the second, as had ben discussed. But in the third, I think it's a great deal for a guy who could be a legitimately good starting QB. His arm isn't any stronger than, say, Bernie Kosar or Tom Brady (hehe) but how can that be a bad thing? He's also known as fearless and a strong leader, two qualities that are music to my ears. Drafting Frye means that Josh Harris or Luke McCown will likely be dealt, perhaps for a low-round draft choice. Fine by me, as neither one of those guys is going to be starting caliber anytime soon.

Overall, my only dissappointment is that the Browns didn't get a front-seven defender, which they definitely need. I'm not surprised they didn't get an offensive linemen since there was no way any available OG or OT would have been the best player available.

The bottom line is that the Browns got very good football players relative to the position they were drafted. Edwards and Pool can be difference makers. Frye could be a big piece of this team within a year or two. You can't ask for much more.
