ESPN dropping some knowledge for us lovers of the Browns lately, which we enjoy thoroughly:- Todd McShay, looking at the AFC's impact rookies, says :
Cleveland Browns: No. 3 overall pick Joe Thomas should win the training camp battle versus incumbent left tackle Kevin Shaffer. Second-round pick Eric Wright will make the next-biggest impact of the Browns' rookie class, as he should beat out Leigh Bodden for the starting left cornerback job.
- Todd's other buddies at Scouts, Inc. put some down on the NFL TE situation, in part saying:
4. Cleveland Browns: Kellen Winslow was plagued by injuries in his first two seasons, but had a breakout year in 2006, leading all tight ends with 89 receptions. Winslow has great athleticism and can be used in a variety of positions in different formations.
You can bet your ass that's the only top-5 the Browns have taken home in all these position rankings, and, quite frankly, it's the only top-25. Things are really looking up for these Brownies. Good thing saying stupid shit doesn't count against a position player. Or crashing motorcycles. Or microfracture surgery. Or having a dick for a dad. Otherwise the Browns probably wouldn't have had any top-5s.
P.S. Does anyone else get a middle-school-type chuckle out of reading about "athleticism", "a variety of positions", and "formations"? Sorry.

I'm a little confused by Mr. McShay. Wright beats out Bodden? More like starts opposite the corn-row destroyer from Duquesne. Otherwise, is he thinking that it would be Wright and 'Cutch with a cup of pungent sea salt?
I thought the same thing. Daven Holly's going to be the other corner with Wright? Or maybe LCB became the most coveted CB spot and I missed the memo.
