SB Nation: Mock Draft Pegs Browns With Richardson, Tannehill

Found February 13, 2012 on Waiting For Next Year: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Peyton Hillis,  Todd Mcshay,  Mike Holmgren,  Ryan Tannehill
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Texas A&M Aggies

With both Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III off of the board, SB Nation’s most-recent mock 2012 NFL Draft has the Cleveland Browns selecting running back Trent Richardson with the fourth-overall selection. Conventional wisdom nowadays says never to draft running backs near the top of the first round. Richardson, however, is the exception that proves the rule. He is a multi-talented athlete who runs with power, explosion and straight-line speed. He is a complete running back that will significantly upgrade Cleveland’s stale offense. Richardson will also come cheaper than trying to re-sign Peyton Hillis. Previous mocks had the Browns taking Justin Blackmon here, but the rumor mill has them sniffing out free agent receivers. Besides, Blackmon may not be a top-five prospect. Despite the continually growing rumors surrounding the Browns considering a top-tier defensive talent as means to selecting the “best player available,” Richardson will continue to be one of...

Cleveland Browns: Most Pressing Offseason Needs

Via Football Nation  |  February 12, 2012
Anyone who watched the Cleveland Browns stumble to a 4-12 record in Pat Shurmur’s first season as head coach can attest to the fact that the Browns have a number of needs that they must address if they intend to seriously contend for the Playoffs in the ultra-competitive AFC North. The Browns have already addressed one of their five biggest needs by bringing in former Minnesota...

The Cleveland Browns Need A Wide Receiver & Braylon Edwards Is Available Thoughts?

Via Cleveland Sports 360  |  February 12, 2012
One thing the Cleveland Browns could use is a wide receiver that has some play making ability. Braylon Edwards who was released by the San Fransisco 49ers could fit into that category.  Braylon has played for the Browns before, he was let go and he went to the New York Jets. Braylon Edwards made some great catches while he was in New York and then Edwards ended up in San Fransisco...

The Best Browns Since 1999 – Right Tackle

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  February 14, 2012
Ryan Tucker has always been a fan favorite even as he struggled with drug suspensions.  Something about the big, tattooed guy was just so lovable.  He was a good player too when he was on the field.  That’s why it isn’t surprising at a position like right tackle where the Browns have struggled so hard to fill it, that fans showed love for Ryan Tucker.  Tucker scored...

NFL Free Agents: Defensive Ends

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  February 13, 2012
League-wide free agency begins March 13th. The Browns have stated all along they prefer to build the team through the draft, but will take a look at the players available in free agency. Previously we looked at the receivers available. Then a glance at the linebackers. Next, we stared longingly at offensive tackles before finishing last week with quarterbacks. Today, we look at the...

The Best Browns Since 1999 – Right Guard

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  February 14, 2012
Shaun O’Hara just won another Super Bowl with the Giants.  The Browns found a diamond in the rough as they signed O’Hara as an undrafted free agent in 2000.  O’Hara started his final 34 games with the Browns before signing a big free agent deal with the Giants.  O’Hara thought he was going to play center for the Giants, but has held down their guard spot...

Draft: Tannehill Is Clear Third QB

Via gnb.scout.com  |  February 15, 2012
While Andrew Luck and RG3 have been the headliners, Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill is a solid No. 3 on the quarterback pecking order. But where will the quarterback-turned-receiver-turned-quarterback go in April's draft?

Tannehill could surprise behind Luck, Griffin

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  February 15, 2012
Come April 26, Ryan Tannehill might be forever indebted to Matt Barkley and Landry Jones. Then again, it could be an NFL team down the line that feels fortunate it was lured into a gamble that paid big dividends. When Barkley announced he was returning to Southern California and Jones opted to remain at Oklahoma for another season, Tannehill became the consensus third-best quarterback...

Randy Moss Wants To Make Comeback Mike Holmgren & The Browns Need To Call Him

Via Cleveland Sports 360  |  February 13, 2012
Hey when a guy as great as Randy Moss wants to comeback into the NFL and wonders if he can find a team to play on, it is time for a team like the Cleveland Browns & Mike Holmgren to pick up the phone and call this guy and make him a offer. Randy Moss has made a ustream video that talks about making a comeback to the NFL. In the Video Moss said, “Your boy is going to come...

The Outlook for the Cleveland Browns

Via Down and Distance  |  February 12, 2012
The Browns have been one of the more underachieving franchises in the past couple of decades. The Browns have won a total of four league championships (NFL). They won all four AAFC titles (including a 15–0 undefeated season in 1948) which are not recognized by the NFL, and after joining the NFL they won four league championships prior to the league’s merger with the American...
