Here is a shock...

The Cleveland Browns, true to form under coach Butch Davis, managed to flub yet another draft. Rather than go for the homerun to get Robert Gallery, rather than trade down to pick up a decent tackle and later picks, rather than stay at 7 and get a good player, they give away their second round pick to move up ONE SLOT to take headcase Kellen Winslow, who seems to think he is a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame without playing a single down in the NFL.

The safety they took in the second round out of Georgia was a good player, but still no offensive tackle until a guy from Stanford late in the second day. He seems like a nice guy but because he served a mormon mission he is already 25 years old as a rookie, is slow, lacking natural athleticism, did I mention slow? This was clearly a pick aimed at quieting critics so they could say "Hey we did take a left tackle". Butch Davis needs to go 2-14 or 3-13 this year, and get himself fired so we can start over.
