The teams gathered at 7:45 a.m. to toss the coin. Tampa Bay's representative, general manager Bruce Allen,called heads, and the coin came up tails. The Browns were represented by general manager Phil Savage. The toss was necessary because both teams finished with identical 4-12 records and identical opponents' winning percentages. The Browns also won a combine coin flip tiebreaker in 2002 with Atlanta for the 16th overall pick. Stay tuned to ClevelandBrowns.com throughout the day for more from the combine.
JStranger76 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Don't care too much, but still nice to know. If both QB's are gone though, Tampa may take a player who affects someone we hope falls to us getting snatched up. I prefer a Dlineman, but if there is a early run on them, I hope we can still get Levi Brown.
stuckincincy Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 A minor point, but I'd rather have the #3 go to an NFC team rather than an AFC team.
Adam Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Absolutely! Adrian Petersen will look great in an orange helmet!!
JimBob2232 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 A minor point, but I'd rather have the #3 go to an NFC team rather than an AFC team. Yep, because everyone knows that the player taken #3 will have a better career than the player taken #4. Its all just noise.
buckeyemike Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I care. Surprise, surprise, I know. I want Brady Quinn, though. Peterson's just too injury prone.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 So instead of going 4th to the browns adrian peterson will go 3rd to the browns and make himself more money good for him
Kuile Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I do care because the browns still hold out hope to trade that pick to a team looking to grab calvin johnson. Browns' fans, i hear, want the Pats' two picks for the 3rd. I really would like to see the Browns turn around ..... and then play the Bills in an AFC champ game soon.
Captain Hindsight Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 hahaha that would be so much fun great way to stick to those experts at espn
/dev/null Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I really would like to see the Browns turn around ..... and then play the Bills in an AFC champ game soon. ugh NO!!! With our luck we'd see a repeat of the Ronnie Harmon incident
stuckincincy Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Yep, because everyone knows that the player taken #3 will have a better career than the player taken #4. Its all just noise. As I noted, a minor point. But one that carries through 7 rounds.
JimBob2232 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 As I noted, a minor point. But one that carries through 7 rounds. Not really. If I recall correctly, teams with the same record rotate picks in the later rounds. i.e if three teams finish 1-15, team a gets the #1 overall, team b gets the #2 overall and team c gets the #3 overall, based on SOS. However in round 2, #33, 34 and 35 will not be a,b,c but rather b,c,a or c,b,a (not sure which one)
buckeyemike Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 ugh NO!!! With our luck we'd see a repeat of the Ronnie Harmon incident That may be the only time I have ever rooted against the Buffalo Bills. Boy, was I gripping down the stretch of that playoff game.

It is evident that I care, you do not care, and I care not that you do not care that I care. Take care.
