Godfrey!  My man!  I am so happy with what the Browns did.  Everyone is so focused on Manziel, they do not realize the genius of our new GM.  He wanted Gilbert, the best corner in the draft all along.  We lost some close games (like to NE) late last year, where the corner opposite Joe Haden got burned late.  We have a young defense, but really only one starting corner back.  Thus, our GM felt we could get Gilbert later than 4, and we landed Buffalo's first and 5th round picks next year.  So, in summary, here is what the Browns left the first round of the draft with last night:

1. Buffalo's 2015 First and Fifth round picks.
2. The best CB in the draft.
3. Johnny Manziel.
4.  Now, we lost our 3rd round pick this year to the Vikings (but we have two third rounders this year, so we have one other anyways.)  We lost our only fifth round pick this year to PHI.

Still, one hell of a first round I think for Cleveland.  Now we have Brian Hoyer and Manziel.  Plus, we have Vince Young, Tyler Thigpan, and Alex Tanney, who will battle for the third roster spot.  Two will be cut, one kept.  That is so much better than Brandon Weedon and Jason Campbell, with an injured Brian Hoyer.

Now, add Ben Tate at running back, Andrew Hawkins as a free agent wide receiver, and Nate Burleson as a free agent wide receiver.  We are in business with Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon already...  I love it.
