I like what Browns have done. I really liked getting the CB. I have quietly been pushing CB over safety (in fact had MLB over safety too) and would have taken CB or Mosely over either safety, especially Ha Ha who I think is very overrated. I think in this deep corner draft we'll see Bears select another corner, who they think they can move to free safety. We got a guy who some thought was the top corner in the draft @ 14. I'll take that all day and let Tillman and company help coach him and prepare him. I hope we get another young guy to join the secondary and think it will be a third or 4th rounder that we convert. You can find good safety's late and that guy doesn't have to be a safety as you can teach a corner to be a safety and succeed (and I love the idea of having a guy that is a good cover guy at safety…clearly they have to be able to tackle too).
Explain the difference for the high safety and a corner, its about reacting, and going to the ball, I would say he can probably do that.

I just don't think he can draft. The first year was bad. The linebackers from last year looked bad. I think they could have used a Saftey by a mile, and any of the next 5 picks would have been better for the team. It's nothing against fuller, but there are bigger needs.
Pryor was my guy I wanted to draft, but lets see who he gets to play S, he aint over yet.

I liked Bushrod coming in when he did it, keeping Jennings and Tillman and I was waving the Trestman flag after he was signed. There are just more things I don't like than do right now.
Look at the positive side of all of this and let it shake out. With the FAs we brought in, I think our defense will be tons better.

I agree with some of your complaints but the best GMs in the league doesnt hit on all of his picks. He brought in two good FA classes, I give him a C+ so far, it isnt all bad by a long shot.
As of now, I am still on the fence with him, but he has did as many good things as he has bad and it only matters if we make the playoffs for the next few years, that is how he will be measured.

I'm not talking about my choices. His first year was a complete bust outside of Jeffery. This year, the linebackers looked bad, but Long turned out great.
He let Urlacher go too early imo.
I didn't think Cutler deserved the contract this year.
Spending on 3 DE's this year, even if Houston can move inside, and so on.
I just don't like many of his decisions so far. Some I like, but the ones I don't like are outweighing the ones I do. Tucker keeping his job still boggles my mind.

He is an inch taller and is a better player.
Emery does what he thinks best, he traded for Marshall, drafted Jeffery, drafted Long. Last years draft could still turn out to be golden. When makes me smile, if we dont get who we want we complain and wakeup the next day. He makes the wrong pick and in a couple of years he loses his job. It just doesnt equate.

I'm at the point that I wish the GM would trade up and draft who I wanted. I definitely not sure on Emery. He's did a lot of things I haven't liked, more than things I do like so far.
He takes who he thinks will be a good player, not your choices. If he turns out to be similar to Tillman, we have a winner and you wont be whining anymore.
