2013 NFL PREDICTIONS!!! (TYLER)

THE BROWNS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! J/K

For Day 7 of my 2013 NFL Predictions, we will be taking a closer look at the CLEVELAND BROWNS.

The history of the Cleveland Browns has been a pretty grim one (except for the Bernie Kosar years), they have been down for a long time, seemingly drafting good players, but for some reason there aren't many winning seasons. 

Speaking of the draft, lets take a look at who the Browns drafted this year.

Round 1: Barkevious Mingo DE (LSU)

Round 3: Leon McFadden CB (San Diego St.)

Round 6: Jamoris Slaughter SS (Notre Dame)

Round 7: Armonty Bryant DE (East Central OK)

Round 7: Garrett Gilkey OT (Chadron St.)

If you're like me you are thinking BLAH with this draft. Mingo could definitely be a solid player in a few years, but drafting him as high as they did (6th overall) after they had picked up DE Paul Kruger as a pass rusher in free agency for their defense doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I do however like the pick of McFadden as i could see him started opposite of talented CB Joe Haden to create a solid pair of corners. Overall, an underwhelming draft.

Will this draft and the current team win games though? Lets take a look at my prediction for the Brown this year.

@ NEW YORK JETS               L

@ PITTSBURGH                      L

FINAL RECORD                 4 - 12

Analysis: Behind RB Trent Richardson this team will win a couple of games, but i just don't think they have enough behind him to win many more. I did pick them to win a couple of surprise games like Week 1 against Miami and Week 6 against Detroit, then losing against the Jets week 15. The Browns could very well finish at 2-14 or even 1-15, it all depends on QB Brandon Weeden to steer this ship in the right direction. I however am going to give him another year to make better strides. Not real high expectations here.
