If the Browns like EJ Manuel, they best not wait too long to draft him. (photo: dynastyfootballwarehouse.com)

It’s almost here!! The day when all the speculation and intrigue shall be quenched! When we are finally able to sit back, put our feet up and separate fact from fiction. The day when, if you run a nifty little draft website such as ours, you finally get to see how smart you really are. Or how good of a guesser you are. Whatever works. (more…)
Which names below will soon call this home? (photo: clevelandbrowns.com)
Well, we are a week away. Even less than that if you’re excited to see the rumor mill start spinning violently out of control when the new “legal tampering” period begins on Saturday. I know I am. Being that this is the first year of said rule, it will be interesting at the least to see how that whole process unfolds and what new wrinkles it adds to free agency. (more…)
Which players fit what the Browns want to do in Free Agency? (photo: businessinsider.com)
DraftBrowns.com Writer, Ryan Alton
By now, most of you know NFL Free Agency is set to begin on Tuesday, March 12 at 4:00pm EST. A new rule passed by NFL owners last year allows for teams and player agents to enter into negotiations prior to this period (March 9-11), but no one can officially be signed until the clock strikes four on the 12th. With a new regime in place (again), the approach to Free Agency will be another “wait and see” type of process for Browns fans. (more…)
With all eyes on New Orleans, I’m thinking Berea. (photo: cosbysweaters.com)

Welcome to February! The NFL business season is in full-swing, with the notable exception of Sunday’s participants in Superbowl XLVII. One of those teams will leave New Orleans with the Lombardi trophy. The other, with a thousand questions. None more prominent and haunting than “Will we ever make it back here?”. But for the remaining thirty less-fortunate clubs, it’s scouting reports, cap crunching, and roster evaluations up to the eye-balls. (more…)

I’m not a big poker player. Nor am I a country music fan. But there’s a song by Kenny Rogers called The Gambler that happens to echo what many believe to be the cardinal rule of poker. You gotta know when to hold ‘em/You gotta know when to fold ‘em. In the case of the Cleveland Browns’ pursuit of University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly, truer words were never spoken. Or sung. (more…)
Browns fans hope “Chud” is the right man for the job. (photo: clevelandbrowns.com)

It took eleven days. It felt like weeks. Late Thursday night, the Cleveland Browns finally came to terms with the 14th head coach in franchise history and the choice couldn’t have been more of a surprise considering where the search began. Rob “Chud” Chudzinski was introduced to the Cleveland media on Friday morning. Not Chip Kelly. Not Nick Saban. Not Jon Gruden. Not Bruce Arians, Ken Whisenhunt, Lovie Smith or any of the other BIG names many of the Browns faithful were expecting to see sitting at the dais when the dust finally settled. Thud. Chud?
