I don't buy jerseys anymore. I have Couch, Winslow, and Quinn in my closet.
You gotta pick smart homie. I've got Wimbley (although the jersey is cursed, he never played as well as he did his rookie season (right before I got his jersey!)) and Joe Haden. Gotta pick players we know will be staples of the organization.
Winslow wasn't bad for a few years. God that guy could have been good. Possibly the best in the NFL. Then we decided to put him on freakin special teams for an onside kick. Then he decided to do wheelies on a motorcycle. Then he got staph infection on his knee. (years later he decided to get a tattoo or piercing on his junk and got staph infection there too!). But man, talk about talent. When he came back from his injuries, he was my favorite player. Still is prob my favorite Browns player. Him or Joe Thomas

I think you gotta pick up Richardson. That guy's the real deal man. He's the jersey i'll be sporting. We probably got ourselves the best RB in the NFL (yet people are upset about a lost 4, 5, 7th round draft pick), lol
He might get over 2000 yards between rushing and receiving at some point. It's definitely possible. Let's say 300 yards receiving and 1700 yards rushing. God this guy is gonna be good

Richardson 33 Weeden picks 3 we pick Stephen Hill @37 and he picks #2
33-3 * 2 = 666 (what I would think of the draft at that point too)

Running backs in the NFL must wear a number between 20-49.

David reigned for 33 years in Jerusalem.
33 is not only a numerical representation of “the Star of David,” but also the numerical equivalent of AMEN: 1+13+5+14=33.
the highest degree in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
Football movie related: The jersey number of Tom Cruise's character in the 1983 film All The Right Moves
In relation to 42(another poster's wish): The number 33 was discovered to lead to the essential meaning of life (the Bible) in Dan Brown's 2009 novel "The Lost Symbol".
42 is the answer to the question of Life, the universe and everything according to Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Haha. I thought Richardson was #6 in college. Turns out #3 thus the #33. My bad.

I agree petey. This is the guy i wanted...finally we have a "real" NFL RB....a bona fide franchise back!
However...i question if Shurmur is mart enough to and i quote:
"Give Trent Richardson the damn ball and get the heck out of the way"
that remains to be seen...afterall, mind you Shurmur was the one who had the "bright idea" mind you to throw the ball 36 times with a rookie QB in St.louis and only ran the ball 12 stinking times the "entire game" with a RB like Stephen Jackson who was only averaging 4.1 YPC in that game...oh did i mention a playoff spot and the NFC West Championship was on the line? This shows you how braindead Shurmur is
http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=310102026
Shurmur is an idiot..he has this pigheaded obsession with throwing the football....it wouldn't matter if he had Jim Brown and Barry Sanders back there...Shurmur is still going to want to throw the ball 35+ times per game...look at us last year..I do believe we were in the Top 5 in the NFL last year in passing attempts as a team.
If Trent Richardson is not getting 25-27 carries per game...then what was the point of drafting him at #3?
I'll believe it when i see it that Shurmur actually knows how to use this player called "The RB" who may gain yards if you hand him the ball...

Shurmur was the offensive coordinator in St. Louis when Steven Jackson had 330 carries. Or offensive coordinator, Brad Childress, had Adrian Peterson in Minnesota.

That's my only concern with T-Rich. Hopefully the offensive staff doesn't run him in to the ground. Gotta manage his carries, especially in year 1.

Well with a rookie QB and not much at WR I see T-Rich getting a lot of carries next year.

I know this is really off topic, but why do all SEC fans hate UT?! Kinda weird.
And I hope Bammers vs Barners stays off our board.
I don't mind UT.. i mean they are irrelevant right now.
I do hate Florida w/ a passion though...
But.. imagine this...
Browns RB Depth Chart:
1) Trent Richardson - HB - Alabama 2) Montario Hardesty - HB - Tennessee 3) Chris Rainey - HB - Florida
Heckert.. make it happen..

I want Rainey really bad....Gator thing aside....I really think he can be a impact player.

That last move at the end is RI-DIC-U-LOUS. And the guy who made it can also run over/through you (as he showed earlier in the run when he broke three arm tackles). Awesome that we get to see those kinds of runs now.

Not only the move, but the play was blown and he cut back and did what he did. That play should have been a three yard loss.

That was incredible!
Plus, when he seemed to sense that player coming up behind him and he went hard right to leave the guy chasing air was just awesome!
Man I can't wait to see him in a Browns uniform, with Smelley leading the way, blowing up defenders all the way down the field.

I'm warming up to the fact we have one of the best RBs in the draft in years. That's a plus. We also got his fullback. Another plus.
The last plus.
We know that Richardson knows how to find Smelley holes. That is all.

I will give Heck a shout out here. Drafting Smelley shows he isn't going to be stubborn and insist on sticking with Maceric(sp). At least he looks willing to wash his hands of the pick if it works out that way.
A lot of GM's have this pride thing going and stick with drafted players way to long. I have long said a blown pick is bad, sticking with it is worse.
Everybody is going to miss on a pick. Not everybody is going to come back the next year and bring in some competition to try to make it right.
* Note, this isn't to say Maceric is a blown pick at this point. One year isn't enough time to tell that. One year and a pre-season is when you are talking about a fullback. We are poised to be better at that position no matter which guy ends up winning the job.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

I love the fact that we drafted a great back, and then drafted his fullback as well. They already have great chemistry, so just bring that right in to Cleveland. Smelley can block, and he can catch the ball really well. If I am "allowed" to get excited about a FB, I am excited to have him on the team. I think that he is going to be a real help.

Smelley will take A.Smith's job imho....he will be our 3rd TE and backup FB. I doubt he beats out Marecic but if he does it'd mean he's a real upgrade there

I don't buy jerseys anymore. I have Couch, Winslow, and Quinn in my closet.
My first Browns jersey was a Couch, and then I got an Edwards jersey I still wear. It's to show the Brown and Orange off on game days more than anything. IF I was going to buy a new Browns jersey, it would be Trent Richardson right now. He's going to help craft the identity this football team needs on offense.
I love the pick, I am not in love with trading up to get him but what we gave was not unreasonable. The smokescreen about deprecating value of HB's had me hook, line and sinker and I was convinced our pick would be Blackmon or Claiborne, kind of funny to look back and think I would want the team to take anyone else. We needed a running back and Richardson is a total package kind of HB, and I can't wait to see what he can do for us on the field.
