5. Cleveland Browns (4-12)
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech: The stress fracture in his left foot shouldn’t affect his draft status. He’s a big-time player who should have a Larry Fitzgerald-type career in the NFL.
Lord help us if the Browns take a wideout with the 5th pick. That would be sooooo unbelievably fucking stupid. That’s Darko stupid. That’s Gerard Warren stupid. That’s “let’s try Darius Miles at PG” stupid.
This team has so many holes on the defensive side of the ball. Linebackers, a competent defensive end, playmakers in the secondary… they need ’em all. Taking another wideout (with a stress fracture in his foot!) is absolutely unnecessary.
(What would I recommend? Trade down! Trade Edwards for picks (if you must). Get as many young players as you can. There are lots of holes to fill.)
