K2 may be out for year.

Kellen Winslow, according to reports from PFT, may have to sit out the year as a result of the microfracture surgery he had performed in January. Clearly not the routine surgery the general public was led to believe, there is even an outside chance that Winslow could have played his last down as a NFL player.

Mid March 7th Round

The Browns hold the 194th pick in the 7th round. They should pick the best player available. One of those players could be Jonny Harline, TE, BYU. Harline was a dominant force on the team all season, making catch after catch especially when it mattered most. Harline's small size at 240lbs and limited speed in the 4.8s drop him low in the draft. However his ridiculously good hands and ability to get open in a zone would make him a great addition to the Browns as a backup to Winslow on passing downs or as a 2nd TE on passing downs. Harline could also be placed at the H-Back position on passing downs.

Mid March 6th Round

The Browns hold the 163rd and the 171st picks in the 6th round. With the 163rd pick the Browns should select DT Paul Soliai of Utah. Soliai is a massive 340lb tackle who makes an ideal space eater in the 3-4 and gives the Browns depth on the defensive line allowing them to switch between the 3-4 and the 4-3 during the game.

With the 171st pick the team should select CB John Bowie of Cincinnati. Bowie is a former Big East 100m champion and has performed well against good competition like Randy Kinder and Oderrick Turner of Pittsburgh. Bowie is a reasonable tackler and has a good break. He has gotten by a lot in college on his recovery abilities but good coaching should be able to teach him technique. He could be a starter in two to three years.

Mid March 5th Round

The Browns hold the 130th, 147th, and 148th selections in the 5th round. With the 130th pick the team should select RB Deshawn Wynn from Florida. Wynn is a large back at over 230lbs and runs in the sub 4.5s. His lack of production in college was a result of the scheme he was in. Wynn should supplant Lewis as the starting RB next season assuming he can stay injury free.

With the 147th selection the team should pick WR Roy Hall from Ohio State. I originally had Hall pegged as an undrafted steal but his amazing performance at the Ohio State pro day shot him into the draft. Hall, at 6'3 230lbs, ran 40s in the low 4.4s to high 4.3s. However he spent his entire career stuck behind 1st round talents like Ted Ginn, Tony Gonzalez, and Santonio Holmes. Hall will no doubt have a much better pro career than collegiate. He is a fine blocker on the perimeter and a great leaper in traffic. He can become an immediate goal line threat and could eventually be bulked up in to a TE.

With the 148th pick the team should select ILB Jon Abbate from Wake Forrest. Abbate is a Zach Thomas type that lacks the measureables but just stands out on film. In most Wake Forrest games he seems to be making every tackle. Abbate will be a productive pro despite whatever his measureables say.

Mid March 4th round

The Browns hold the 99th pick in the 4th round. With this pick the team should address the QB position, barring some unforeseen falling star. The player that they should select is John Beck from Brigham Young. Beck has a great arm that is impeccably accurate, something that Frye and Anderson struggle with. Beck additionally proved to be a much better athlete than advertised when he ran in the 4.7s. The only knock on him is his 6-2 height. He can pass the ball well in bad weather and extremely windy situations as well, proving so on numerous occasions.

Mid March 3rd Round

The Browns have 67th, 72nd, 76th, and 78th picks in the 3rd round. With the 67th pick the Browns should look at RB Kenny Irons of Auburn, OG Arron Sears of Tennessee, RB Chris Henry of Arizona, or RB Lorenzo Booker of Florida State. Since Irons, Sears, and Henry are likely to be gone the selection should be Lorenzo Booker. Booker has great hands out of the backfield as well as a great burst. Booker would be a great change of pace for Jamal Lewis and would solve the question about who would be the 3rd down back.

With the 72nd pick the Browns should select DT/DE Marcus Thomas of Florida. Thomas has 1st round ability but has a questionable past behavior wise. But with so many picks it is ok to take a chance on such a talent. He has the ideal speed and quickness to be a pass rusher at DE in the 3-4.

With the 76th pick the Browns should take the best available DB. At this point in the draft that player is likely Eric Weddle from Utah. Weddle has the speed and hips to play CB or the instincts to play FS and he can hit. Weddle should battle Brodney Pool for the starting FS or win the NB slot. His versatility will prove quite useful if injuries decimate the secondary as they did last year. If Weddle is gone the team should take a hard look at CB Johnathan Wade of Tennessee or CB Fred Bennett of South Carolina.

With the 78th slot the team should look for a trade partner in the mid 80s. I will arbitrarily select the Broncos as the trade partner. For this trade the Browns receive the Broncos 3rd and 5th rounder. With the 86th pick the Browns should select OL Manuel Ramirez of Texas Tech. Ramirez projects as a OG at the pro level but played tackle in college. He provides some young depth and versatility at the position for the Browns.

The Browns add the 148th pick in the 5th round with the trade.
