The Cleveland Browns took a chance on WR Greg Little in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, despite missing the entire previous year at North Carolina. So what I'm saying is, Greg Little hadn't played a game-time snap in over a year before taking the field in a preseason game against the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers.
Last year for the Browns, Little had a team leading 61 receptions for 709 YDS and 2 TDs with an average of 11.6 YDS/REC. Not a bad rookie year if you ask me. Now I'm not dismissing the fact that Little also led the team in drops last year...

It is our pleasure to introduce a guest post today by Cleveland’s own Dan Coughlin. Enjoy!
I fell in love with Brandon Weeden late last season when I saw him against Baylor and later in the bowl game against Stanford. I wasn’t overly enamored with Stanford’s Andrew Luck. Everyone in the world was raving about Luck, but I preferred Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Weeden, the...

What’s in a name? I’m sure all of you can remember your days in school. Whether it was elementary, middle or high school some poor unfortunate soul was blessed with an unfortunate name. And as children (who can be cruel) love the names they can use as weapons out on the playground.
I’m very familiar with this myself having to endure the last name “Youngman”. I once...

A total of 253 players were selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. And just like life everyone plays their part. Some college players shine brightly. They are in the right place, at the right time. Surely there is a lot of hard work that goes into becoming a top draft choice but when you have an opportunity to play on a larger stage it tends to help you get noticed. And some of those players...

By selecting former Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden in the first round of last week’s draft, the Browns appear ready to move on from whatever you want to call Colt McCoy‘s time as the Browns’ QB1 (experiment, era or maybe, simply, “ehh”). And it appears McCoy’s father, Brad McCoy, may have played a part in his son’s demise.
After Colt suffered a concussion...

The 6th round is a round in which many teams will gamble. It’s a round in which you can take a risk on a player without it costing you a lot. The best known example of this is New England’s own Tom Brady who was selected 199th overall in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Clearly that selection worked out for the Patriots, but obviously not all players selected in the 6th round...

Cleveland Browns: C
I've said multiple times throughout this week that I just don't like the Browns first two picks, but if you missed it, I'll restate my argument. Trent Richardson is solid, but he wasn't worth a top 5 pick, and taking a quarterback is not what the Browns needed. They need someone to come in and help Colt McCoy succeed, not somebody to come in and...
