Brownies NFL draft, what were you thinking?


The Cleveland Browns are perhaps a bit too honest and disingenious in places they need not be.

If you didn't hear, the Vikings took advantage of the Browns and they did it hard. They needed protection for their QB, badly. I mean Ponder was getting pounded last year. So they were in talks with many teams to trade their no 3 pick. Seriously, who picks a left tackle that early in the draft even if he's the best rated tackle with the proper pedigree?

The Browns told McCoy they would not pick a QB in the first round, indicating they were solid behind their QB. Honestly folks, lie to the enemy, tell the truth to your allies. If you can't tell the truth, don't lie. So instead of getting word out that they were solid behind McCoy, and interested in protecting him as he suffered a concussion last year with possibly Kalil, who is by far an excellent LT, they caved and sold the farm to move up 1 spot. Would the Vikings have taken the bluff? Everyone knew they were sweet on Kalil and that was the one need they had. Filling that spot is tough to do.

Whatever the case though, the Browns ended up taking a QB with their 2nd draft pick so either they were disingenuous to their QB or they really didn't think it through and plan it out. Ultimately the picks they got were good, but execution of the plan wasn't really that well thought out. My guess is they don't have a woman on the management team. Not that men can't think but my point is in management decisions, men typically "target" think. It's how they were created. Women integrate - it's how we were created. We complement each other and more organizations would benefit from incorporating women in the structure.

Hey, look at the church! We are canonizing 2 more American women as saints this year. They show us how to reach our ultimate goal, and they do it with style!
