2010 NFL Draft: Cleveland Browns' First Three Rounds

It has become obvious that the conventional wisdom of team needs and player evaluations are out the window with the new Browns regime:

Cornerback Joe Haden, strong safety TJ Ward, running back Montario Hardesty, quarterback Colt McCoy, and offensive guard Shawn Lauvao.

We could have, with the picks we had, drafted the same positions but with these prospects:

RB CJ Spiller

FS Morgan Burnett or Taylor Mays

CB Javier Arenas

QB Colt McCoy

OG Shawn Laovao

Not sure why a guard all of a sudden became a need with our final choice for 75 picks.  Certainly he won't be an impact player. 

DE's Corey Wootton (Northwestern) and Austen Lane (Murray State) are on the board. 

DT Cam Thomas (North Carolina) and Al Woods (LSU) are on the board.

Pass rushing OLBs Ricky Sapp (Miami), Eric Norwood (South Carolina), and Thaddeus Gibson (Ohio State) are on the board. 

WRs Marcus Easley (UConn), Mardy Gilyard (Cincinnati), and Carlton Mitchell (South Florida) are on the board.

It is hard to say what plan or direction is in play here but it is clear the remaining needs for defensive line, pass rushers and route running receivers for the new West Coast Offense cannot be addressed with a fifth and two sixth round picks.
