The Wait Begins

This the first weekend without football and probably the most boring time for me because I'm not really a basketball fan so I will wait. I focused pretty much on free agency and then the draft, then waited for training camp to begin. Well a few years back I started watching the combine, at first I was kind of bored with it then as I starting watching more college football and paying more attention to some of the prospects. I actually started to enjoy the combine a little more because I knew some of the players and also stared to understand why they put these kids the the rigorous drills and interviews that they do. When you are going to potentially spend millions of dollars one a kid barely out of high school they are digging deep to get any information and dirt that they can so the prospect doesn't turn out to be a troubled player with baggage. Some might say they cross the line but I say when you invest millions of dollars you have to be sure that what you see is what you are getting. Now the combine has become a tradition for my Son and I, we pretty watch the whole thing from start to finish. The draft is the same, we really enjoy it. I just wish they wouldn't do it during the week because some people have to work. I guess that's where the DVR comes in. So the wait begins and who will it be at pick number 4, will it be RG3, Justin Blackmom, Trent Richardson or possibly Matt Kalil, not a sexy pick but a need on the line. We will just have to wait, as for my pick for the Browns at number 22 Courtney Upshaw it isn't looking good he keeps climbing up the board, but this will happen guys will rise and fall especially after the combine a private workouts come to an end let the chips fall where they may I just hope we don't trade up to obtain RG3 because we have too many needs to throw away draft picks this year. If that were to happen folks I think we are facing another 4 and 12 or 5 and 11 season and I think the patients of many Browns fans are running thin. We might see allot of empty seats and ticket sales could take a significant hit if they have another losing season on 2012.

Well Browns fans til next time take care and Go Browns
