To me it is clear that the Browns were afraid of somebody else moving up ahead of them and after what happened with RGIII I can understand their fears. HOWEVER, I always think that is is foolish to take the RB position that high up. Cleveland has plenty of needs and RB's are consistently found in late rounds and on the free agent market. Jim Brown is probably not too happy that the Browns traded up to take him after his comments yesterday. - Gunner Staal

And WOW, Jim Brown hated him!! - LamontSanford
I didn't see a reason for all the hype either. I don't think Richardson is going to set the league on fire or anything. He's capable of getting the customary 1000 yards but it seems like every team has a 1000 yarder now. Anything under 1300-1400 yards is pretty average.

I'd say that is a polite way of bashing him. - Gunner Staal
The kid might be good, but I dont see Cleve's blockers as all that great. IF this kid hits 1000 yds, it will be like hitting 1400 w/a team that has a good O-line.

I just don't see RB as a pressing need deserving of the #3 overall pick for the Browns.
Just to start a new topic....Wondering where Jerry Sullivan is with his you don't need a top goalie to be successful in the playoffs.....look at the final eight, three Vesnia finalists; Brodeur (NJ), and Flyers goalies, all highly paid top goalies....

Doesn't Sullivan say you don't need to pay for a top goalie?

What is the difference...if the goalie is a top goalie, he will be paid like one and if not now eventually Rhinne 7.0 M; Brodeur 5.2, Lunquest 6.8; Bryzgalov 5.7, Lowest is Quiin at 1.8 but guess what he will get real soon.

Really?
And the difference is you don't need to pay top dollar to get good goaltending.
