Browns want bigger Center, BE not at workouts
It doesn't look like Hank Fraley will be the starting center in 2009
Don't be surprised if the Browns use one of their second-round picks -- or one in the third round if they are able to acquire it -- on a center.
The coaches, said a source, have determined the team has to get bigger at center and more powerful at the point of attack.
The best centers in this draft -- Alex Mack of California, Eric Wood of Louisville and Max Unger of Oregon -- are expected to fall in rapid fire towards the bottom of the first round or top of the second.
The next-best center, Antoine Caldwell of Alabama, has been worked out by the Browns. Caldwell is projected for the third round.
It appears that Hank Fraley will be the next "big name" to fall from the Browns' roster.
Offensive line help?You know I'm in.
As for BE,on ESPN they have said that the Giants and Browns are still far apart,and that any deal for BE,from anyone,would likely come during the draft.They didn't mention any other teams that might be interested in him.
One more thing;Pat White was showcased,and the Browns and Eagles were mentioned as teams with interest.After that they mentioned possibly the Steelers.One of the guys was calling White the steal of the draft.
Funny thought:(5)Sanchez,(21)Britt,forBQ(36)Mack(50)White - just kidding-
Hopefully they can use the third they get for Braylon to grab Caldwell. Caldwell is the most polished, and most intelligent center in this class.
There's no use in passing up excellent receiver or OLB help just to grab a center earlier, and Unger is a center that fits in a ZBS. Unger will get ate up in the AFCN. He's just too weak. He's a quicker guy, who's smaller than Fraley, even.
I think we should only get a Center if we get another pick from the Giants, although center is a need position theres to many good 2nd round prospects
