I agree and that's the main reason we won't draft Te'o. He doesn't rush.

I think we will be overhauling some LB's in FA and draft as well as DE's

Rucker/Rubin/Sheard/Taylor are fine honestly. I'm not opposed to offering some extra depth but I wouldn't exactly go after anyone huge.

What we need is a strong presence at OLB. We literally(figuratively) have nobody. D'Qwell Jackson is great, a top 10, possibly even a top 5 MLB in the league. We won't replace him, no matter how many of Te'o's Girlfriends die, we won't waste a 1st rounder on him if we stay at a 4-3.

However, if we switch to a 3-4 we need even MORE depth at LB and considering we already have none, drafting Te'o makes perfect sense. That being said, that still leaves 2 solid LBs in a corp where there is only 1 solid LB currently.

The move to 3-4 just doesn't make sense, it didn't make sense when we did it several years ago, it doesn't make sense now. I think our new owner is smart enough to realize that.

I don't think Haslem agrees. I bet we make the switch. It makes no sense, with our roster the way it is now I know. but I bet it happens..

Or at least thats word on the street here. Either the switch or change to a hybrid.

FirstEnergy buys rights to Browns stadium.

Welcome to the 3rd spot in the AFC North!

We have kept it awfully warm for you guys.

Hope the Steelers enjoy being last for a few years.

3rd and rising

Bengals and Browns number 1 & 2 in the future. Anyone else hearing this rumor about D.A. coming back to the Browns? Him and Chud are boys and he has been in Carolina "mentoring" Cam. Dont know if this would be good or bad. I think we need to swap our 6th overall pick with the Niners 1st round pick and get Alex Smith. We could also swap our 3rd with their second, so we get to make a pick in the second as well. Would be nice.

Agreed, would help them not pay him a bonus for being on their roster come April (Or May, I forget.) I cannot see a situation where they are not trading him as there are many QB needy teams and no clear winners coming up in the draft.
I wouldn't mind swapping picks and adding something to grab Smith then using our draft for defensive depth and our cap space to pick up offensive talent (Jennings/Bowe/Finley to name a few)

Afc north new hardest division to win in now? It was NFC east but eagles are in pieces now.

Don't be silly, AFC north has been the hardest for a long time.
