I agree that if the Browns can trade down and then get Smith or Rodgers, well, that would be ok. I just don't like taking a risk at #3 because of your aformentioned bust-cap hit scenario.
I know you mentioned him before. And I have actually seen a mock draft that had the Browns picking him at #3. So who knows.hammb wrote:Another guy that I've really liked what I've seen of him is Shawne Merriman from Maryland. That kid is the prototype 3-4 OLB. He seems like a reach at #3, but if we could trade down and still get him, I'd be thrilled with that scenario as well.
For anyone interested, here is a link that has links to a bunch of mock drafts: http://www.footballsfuture.com/2005/mock.html
