1: Per Mike Holmgren, Heckert wasn't going to pick Weeden at #22. Mike told him to.
It's extremely unlikely that the best remaining quarterback could have lasted til the 37th pick. Those who say that the Browns could have taken him in the second round should have somebody slap them awake.
2: I didn't like the Hughes pick, either. However, I now know that sacks, tackles-for-loss, level of competition, versatility, and the fact that this is a 4-3 and not a 3-4 defense were all factors in this decision. along with the fact that he had a hamstring issue at the combine.
While he's not expected to be a big passrusher at this level, he does have some nice range and is very strong against the run.
No, I wouldn't have taken him that high, but I don't know what Heckert knows, and the commercial scouting/rating services often have very different grades than MOST General Managers.
3: I doubt that the Browns decided to replace Colt McCoy because of something his father said. Here we go with the Soap Operas again. Clevelanders really seem to love their drama! They just plain thought Weeden was better. Good grief.
4: Last season the Browns (notably Little, who was a R O O K I E DO YOU U N D E R S T A N D led the NFL in drops.
Listen carefully: They got OPEN. The passes were THERE. If those same recievers just stop dropping the damn ball, this would have been a pretty decent offense.
I believe that, along with having a better grasp of their reads and routes in the second West Coast season, these recievers will stop dropping the damn ball.
Weeden WILL have "somebody to throw to", like Colt did last season.
Somebody will just have to CATCH it, is all.
