    Rand, for me that's a win.

      We all have been here too long.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Yeah, it's a little scary seeing me posting back in 2007.

        I still wish Ted had made that trade, though. And yes, I still think about that sometimes. I wonder who Ted would've picked had he made that trade . . .

          Partial and Fritz look a little like Nostradamus.

          Wish ND would post again.

          Had some good arguments and learned a little football from that dude.

          At least the anti-TTers are consistent.

            ND72 is on Twitter, but mainly about being a PE teacher, basketball coach and Dad. Seems like he has his hands full.

              SURE GLAD we didn't take the sweat deal and got Justine Harrell instead ))
              TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                TT showed quite early that he wasn't excited about any specific players in this years pool available after the first round by trading #47 and #235 to get #63, #89 and #191. It doesn't surprise me that he wasn't interested in switching spots with Cleveland in the second to move up.
                63, 89 and 191 netted Brendan Jackson, the infamous Aaron Rouse and Korey Hall. Poster children all for why you have to throw a lot of darts at the board!

                  TT has gotten markedly better at drafting/signing running backs. I'll give him a pass on Alex Green since he got hurt. Brandon Jackson in the 2nd round was an over-evaluation compared with on-field production. Some of the guys TT has gotten in priority free agency lately have been better looking prospects than Brandon Jackson. You draft and sign what's available, but I bet TT and staff beat themselves up in private when it turns out that they have over-evaluated a guy. Everyone misses, but that doesn't mean you don't want to limit your mistakes in the future.

                    This was an overall terrible draft for Thompson. Hindsight he should have taken that deal because the Browns were drafting in the top ten in 2008.
