For the first time, the NFL Draft will be held in May. With players such as Jadeveon Clowney, Johnny Manziel and Sammy Watkins, it can be argued to be "... the deepest and best draft class seen in 10 years".

The Browns’ unpredictable head-coaching search nearly finished with what would have been the most unpredictable outcome of any head-coaching search since Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Buccaneers a dozen years ago. Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh. A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers. The 49ers could not immediately be reached for comment. Efforts to contact the 49ers continue. The Browns declined to comment specifically on whether an effort was made to acquire Jim Harbaugh. The Browns characterized the search as thorough, and the Browns acknowledged that many options were considered. The Browns emphasized that the team is excited about its new coach Mike Pettine. A deal would have been stunning, for several reasons. Harbaugh has taken the 49ers to the NFC title game in each of his three years with the team. Also, he would have joined the same division as his brother, Ravens coach John Harbaugh. Which means they would have been squaring off at least twice per year, and competing directly for division titles and/or wild-card positioning. Source. | ||

Do the niners have a cash strapped owner? | ||

Do the niners have a cash strapped owner? They're not cash-strapped, but they were rather stingy for a while in the aftermath of the Eddy DeBartolo era. They seem to have gotten better recently. Frankly, I think Harbaugh deserves to be one of the highest paid coaches in the league. He's good, and he gets his players to play for him. He'll probably command around $10 million per year. | ||

Let us not forget Hoyer the Destroyer, if he rehabs well he could start for them. Allowing them to do some crazy stuff with their pick, mainly being Watkins. That's pretty unlikely though, but the two hot QB's will likely be snagged before they get a chance at em. Brandin Cooks dominated at the combine, if he isn't taken in the first round. I'll be surprised. | ||

No where near a cleveland fan but think about detroit years back going 0-16 and look at them now. The browns have been quite bad for some time and it only seems reasonable to think that with high draft picks each year, you can build a fairly strong football team as those years go by. LOL at the comment about the Choke Artist. Playing well in the regular season is nice, but it all comes down to winning championships. | ||

I like Cowherd's point on the matter: in the NFL, the QB's far more important than the coach. In college, it's the opposite, but in the pros, I don't think it matters that much. I would agree that they would become a contender if they got a top 5 QB, but everyone would, which really means you need a really good QB to win (duh).

Yeah, that mighty Detroit team has gone 29-51 (average of 5.8 wins per year) since going 0-16. Really lighting the world on fire. What about Choke Artist? | ||

Detroit is a great example of why a coach matters. You need to be able to motivate and adjust in the second half of the season. Especially after a bad loss. | ||
