Browns Finally Pick!

With the 21st pick in the NFL Draft the Cleveland Browns have selected Alex Mack - not the Nickelodeon character, but the center from Cal. My thoughts on this are varying by the second. Click through.

It was a long weekend for Todd McShay with the NFL draft and all, but I think maybe he should have taken a bit longer nap before critiquing draft performance. He had this to say about the Browns. While teams don’t usually like to take centers so early in the first round it’s unlikely Alex Mack [...]

The Steelers couldn’t take Alex Mack (Cleveland), and they didn’t go corner.  Instead, they took the shot at #32 to address the defensive line as they selected Evander “Ziggy” Hood from Missouri. Hood is 6-2, and goes about 300 pounds.  The Steelers wanted to address the O-line and secondary, and the D-line was another area they [...]

With the 21st overall pick in the NFL Draft the Cleveland Browns select California C Alex Mack. The "poster boy" for the 2009 NFL Draft center class,...

It took awhile, but the Browns finally took a player, as they selected the Cal center Alex Mack with the 21st overall pick. The pick came after the Browns traded with the Jets (5th pick), Tampa Bay (17th pick), and Philly (19th pick) before they finally took Mack. Here’s the lowdown on Mack from Draft [...]

The Buffalo Bills used their second pick of round one to select Louisville center Eric Wood with the 28th pick overall. Staying true to the pre-draft rankings, Wood is the second center selected in the draft after Cal’s Alex Mack went to Cleveland at pick 22. Now the Max Unger watch is on…

Perhaps I was too quick to dismiss The Goose’s mock draft where he gave the Vikings Josh Freeman at #22?  Possibly, if one gives credence to what Paul Allen, the voice of the Vikings, just posted on Rube Chat: feeling it comes down to trading back, harvin, freeman, butler. very much in the dark as of now. during draft show with bercich i’ll have a much better feel as...

Somewhat old news, but still worthy of a mention:  in their final mocks, SI.com writers Peter King and Don Banks disagreed about whom the Vikings will take with their #22 overall pick.  King put down his sugar doughnut long enough to pick center Alex Mack - there’s a novel idea - while Banks went with the old reliable Eben Britton.  King and Banks at least seem to realize...

The NFL Draft was going according to plan until the Browns went on the clock after Aaron Curry was selected the pick before.
