Browns HC Mangini Press Conference (6/3/10)

Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini press conference 6-3-10

(Opening statement)- “Good morning everybody.  A couple of things here, in terms of the restricted guys, no movement there.  Jerome (Harrison) will be here working.  He’s been here working, but no change with any of the other guys.  With the injured guys, that group has stayed the same.  There are some guys that are going to miss today because of various reasons and I’ve talked to all of them.  I’ve had conversations with the group so if someone is not out there that normally would be, that’s the case.  Today where we’re at is we’ve gone through two cycles of install, which is the first and second down day, the third down day, the red area day and a review. That’s considered a cycle.  We’ve gone through two of those.  Today is a catch up or catch all day, so anything that we feel like we want to go back and hit, maybe something that we installed but didn’t get to run as much as we’d liked to. We are doing that type of work here this morning.  Read more…

Cleveland Browns get busy during second day of NFL Draft, select QB Colt McCoy in 3rd Rd

The Cleveland Browns got right to work in securing some players that will be able to come onto the team and make it better from Day 1.

With their first pick in the second round, the Browns selected TJ Ward, a hard hitting free safety from Oregon.  It may have been a surprise to some, but Ward is a great athlete that has solid overall skills, and gives the Browns a legitimate playmaker in the middle of the field.  The move to address their porous secondary is a classic case of a team filling their biggest needs through the draft.

The team then gave up their first 3rd round pick and both of their early 5th round picks to move up to the 27th spot in round 2.  At that spot, they selected Tennessee running back Montario Hardesty. Hardesty is a big, physical runner with outstanding speed.  His underrated cutback skills make him a solid fit in the Browns’ scheme. With Jerome Harrison lacking the size to be the lone back, Hardesty should receive a high volume of carries as a key reserve.

At the end of the 3rd round, the Browns select Texas quarterback Colt McCoy who was slated to go much, much higher.  Colt is an athletic thrower with good accuracy, McCoy is a good fit in the Browns’ west-coast offense and could develop into a solid starter in time.

With their final selection in the third round the Browns snag a top tier versatile guard/tackle Shawn Lauvao, a Hawaiian native.  The Arizona State standout has solid overall skills, and is an instinctive player capable of playing multiple positions along the line. Given his savvy and versatility, he gives the Browns an intriguing young player to develop.

The Cleveland Browns are not done yet.  On Saturday they have picks in the fifth round at number #160 overall, then two picks in the sixth round at #177 and #186 overall.
