Here are what blogs from Cleveland and around the country are saying about the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians.
Cleveland Browns
Lawrence Dushenski of This Given Sunday talks about how the Browns have a prime chance to build their core for years to come.
"But despite slow progress on the field, the pieces seem to be falling into place at just the right time. They have their franchise bookend with Joe Thomas playing as well as any blindside protector in the league. Their other franchise Joe plays on the corner. Haden was a standout at Florida, and it working his way into the conversation of the second tierJeremy Stanekenas of Fan of the Game First explains why the running back position is not dead and why it is so important in the West Coast Offense.corners, behind Revis Island.
Last year the Browns were in a power position with the sixth overall pick in a draft ripe with offensive talent. Julio Jones was on the board and the Falcons simply could not help themselves. They paid a ransom that is still being paid off, and the Browns are starting to pile up highly skilled assets as a result."
"In the NFL, it is almost impossible to win without a running game. There’s no way any Coach or GM will agree with anyone saying they don’t need a Running Back. For the Browns and this upcoming draft it makes no sense to pass on a true Running Back, a franchise caliber back. Anyone saying we can find one in the later rounds, sure you’re right. We can find any position in the lower rounds too. There’s seven rounds worth of drafting. Are we going to draft a Quarterback in the fifth round and start him in the home opener? We don’t have a chance of landing a franchise type Quarterback this year, but we can land a franchise Running Back. Why pass on that chance? Oh, because we all want a Wide Receiver. "
