Thomas Needs To Be In Camp On Time!

First off, let me just say I`m not the best speller or writer, so keep that in mind as you read my posts.

As the NFL season approaches, the Cleveland Browns desperately need to get their first three draft picks in camp on time. What is arguably the best draft since the franchise returned in 1999, these are three picks that can make a difference NOW! Most needed in my opinion, offensive lineman Joe Thomas.

Since the Browns returned in 1999 they drafted a total of 9 offensive lineman before the 2007 draft. Only two of those picks came before the third round. Melvin Fowler was picked in the third round(76th overall) in 2002. Jeff Faine was picked (21st ) overall in 2003. Bottom line, Faine couldn`t stay healthy and both have since been traded. On a team where running the football and protecting the quarterback has been a huge issue, it`s about time the Browns addressed this need.

Now the focus is on the money. Thomas, along with quarterback Brady Quinn have said they can’t wait to play for the Browns and make an impact on the town and the
organization. Make an impact right away.
Get a deal done and get in camp on time.
