Good Luck With That

by Corey

Two more Browns defensive lineman, traded... to Denver. In case you're counting, that makes four who became Broncos in the last three weeks (Gerard Warren, Courtney Brown, Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers). Watch out, Mount McKinley.

Now the Browns have Reuben Droughns. Hey, a 1,200-yard rusher! Psssht. If any franchise has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that nearly all running backs are completely interchangeable, it's Denver. Reuben Droughns may be named after a mighty fine sandwich, but he's certainly not worth the price of even an average player like Ekuban.

Here's the good part. Since running backs are mostly interchangeable, I don't much care whom the Browns run out there. What I really don't want is for the team to lay down a significant investment to acquire one--say, a certain #3 overall draft pick. After this trade, that possibilty seems a lot less likely. In the big picture, Ekuban is a small price to pay.

obviously this has nothing to do with this post, but did you see that Juan Gone is already on the 15 day DL? so here comes Grady Sizemore back to the lineup!

Also of note, it seems as though the media in Denver are none-too-happy about their robbing of the Browns d-line. that is also chuckle-worthy.

-me fail english? that's unpossible
