As far as the grade to determine how they did this draft, it's hard to say. You can't really judge it until the players get out there and play. It would be wise to have Haden start along with Ward. Even give Hardesty a chance to play as well to build up the running game. It is unlikely that Colt McCoy will get to be the starting Quarterback for the Browns due to the fact that Delhomme was brought in to start.

You can't say for one minute that it can't happen in that respect. Seneca Wallace is one that really hasn't played a lot and has been mainly a backup for the Seattle Seahawks. Do not expect him to start unless A) Delhomme is injured or B) just plain sucks.


This is a very critical year for Eric Mangini. If they do not make progress, then he will be removed. Of course, by progress that would mean winning more than five games. That doesn't 6-10, maybe 7-9 would work. 8-8 would be a very good season for them considering that they have been nothing more than a punching bag.

As far as an overall view on how the picks will do, it's going to depend upon can they adapt to the league and really just come in and perform well. It's not going to be about just being there to collect a paycheck and continue to get laughed at week after week.

Predictions for the Cleveland Browns for the 2010 NFL Season

I'm taking a break right now from it as there really isn't much NFL activity in regards to games. Perhaps after the draft, I could have a better perspective on it. If anyone would want to apply, then by all means do so. It'd help keep it active.

After the entire season, there are some final thoughts overall when it comes to the season and the post-season. Without question, there have been some upsets but it's time for some team awards. This will be my last blog post for a few months. I'll wait for the next season.

Upset of the Year: Cleveland Browns defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who would have imagined that one happening?

Team of the Year: New Orleans Saints. They were marching and took care of business.

Most Surprising Team: Cincinnati Bengals. They went on to take the division by force and had a 6-0 mark against everyone in the division.

Most Disappointing Team: Denver Broncos. This is a team that should have been a playoff team but fell apart big time.

Best Playoff Team: New Orleans Saints. They won the Super Bowl so they were the best that season.

Worst Playoff Team: San Diego Chargers. How do you win 11 in a row only to look foolish against the Jets in the playoffs?

Does the Colts lost put them in a category with the Atlanta Braves in MLB: In a way, it does because they make the playoffs consistently and only have one Super Bowl to show for it much like the Braves when it came to the post-season only having one World Series title to show for it.

Only time will tell what will be the next season. Yet another NFL season has been completed.
