Brandon Weeden Drafted by Browns with 22nd Overall Pick

The Cleveland Browns made waves earlier in the day when they traded up to with the Minnesota Vikings to get the guy they wanted in Trent Richardson. Well the Browns weren’t done making noise in the draft as they selected Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden.

Many scouts and mock drafts had Weeden being selected in the 2nd; however the Browns chose to get their guy before anybody else had the chance to snatch him off the board.

As evident by today’s action, the Browns were bound and determined to get the guys they wanted, and they landed both of them.

With the Browns drafting Weeden in the first round, all signs point to Colt McCoy not being the incumbent starter and Weeden having a legit shot at starting on opening day. Weeden will hopefully have some more weapons alongside him and Richardson to help turn around an offensive that was dreadful last season.

With all the activity the Browns have shown thus far, it’ll be interesting to see how they proceed with the 2nd round of the NFL Draft. They still need a wide receiver and help on the right side of the offensive line, so let’s see what Gm Tom Heckert does to upgrade the team.

Below are the picks the Browns have remaining in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Round 2, Pick 5 (37)

Round 3, Pick 4 (67)

Round 4, Pick 5 (100)

Round 5, Pick 25 (160) (From Broncos)

Round 6, Pick 34 (204) (Compensatory selection), Round 6, Pick 35 (205) (Compensatory selection)

Round 7, Pick 38 (245) (Compensatory selection), Round 7, Pick 40 (247) (Compensatory selection)

Cleveland Browns Select Trent Richardson with 3rd pick

The Cleveland Browns moved up one spot trading picks in the 4th, 5th and 7th round and the number 4 pick overall to Minnesota Vikings for the 3rd pick.

The Browns went after their guy not allowing teams like the Buccaneers or Rams to move up and draft the new running back of the Browns Trent Richardson.

Now the fireworks aren’t over for the Browns as they still have the 22nd puck in the draft and with then already being aggressive, I wouldn’t rule out anything at this point.

Congratulations Tent Richardson and welcome to Cleveland.

Washington Wizards Andray Blatche Hosting Season Finale After Party

When you play for the Washington Wizards and your team has the second worst record in the league, what would you do to close out the season? Some people would say, they’re going to go into hiding, no need to have people clowning you for your terrible season. Others would say, hit the gym with a vengeance and come back better prepared.

Well Andray Blatche has other plans. As pointed out in the flyer, he’s hosting an after party after the Wizards final game of the season. Now I’m not going to say that he shouldn’t party, hang out, and kick. But what I will say is, there’s a time and a place, and this just comes off bad. Considering how bad you and your team sucked, if the first thing I hear you doing is partying and attempting to drink your losses away, that just isn’t going to resonate with some.

Once again, not saying don’t go kick, just saying don’t rub it in people’s faces that “I’m rich, even though we have 44 losses I still get paid anyway, so let’s pop bottles’’. Just saying.
