*RUMOR* Cleveland Browns decide to take Richardson at 4

[lazoran]

1:03PMest:4/13/12:**BREAKING NFL NEWS**Source: Cleveland Browns have decided that (RB) Trent Richardson will be the route they go with the 4th pick overall, the only way they don't take the Alabama "BEAST" is if they get a huge offer from a team trading up (Nothing hot on that front right now) this will effect the Tampa Bucs as they have had eyes for Richardson & would choose him if he fell in their laps. So in closing, if no trade down is completed by Browns & (RB) Richardson is still available when they draft at #4, he will be the pick! #IBN

Take it as you want, the source is incarcerated bob. Kind of happy because I didn't want Richardson and I think we have much bigger needs that need to be corrected in earlier rounds.

Running back is the Bucs 2nd biggest need after middle linebacker.

I won't turn tail on Bob because he's reporting something I didn't like....but this had better damn not be the case.

[Freeman 5]

Said this since the season ended. I true then great, if not it's still gear.
I'm pretty sure that they'll take him. As long as there isn't some weird change of heart by the Vikings, we get Claiborne. 

[Beatles123]

The ONLY way this is a good thing for me is if we get LMJ or Kahlil. Meh, I'll see what happens on draft night.

[Boid Fink]

Wrong. Cornerback and linebacker are needs. The Bucs will nab a mid tier vet RB, as Tatman said. Makes sense.

I am not surprised wild rumors are popping up, but the Browns will take Richardson, and they will take Tannehill, or Flloyd as well. Offensive problems solved.

Bucs will get Claiborne. Which is great.

Beatles I wanted Trich too but come on lol, Claiborne is a true number 1 and a future pro bowler, we need him bad with the corners that we have and who knows what happens with Talib, we can easily get a stud back in round 2 with Martin/Wilson, can't be mad with the Claiborne pick

[BucBalla85]

This is what Ive been saying too. If Richardson is so good as people are saying. The Browns will take him in a heartbeat.

[Beatles123]

Claiborne better damn well be a grand slam pick!! That's all I can say!

[Boid Fink]

Nope. Claibornes value to the Bucs is far greater than TR value to the Bucs.

[Freeman 5]

This is what Ive been saying too. If Richardson is so good as people are saying. The Browns will take him in a heartbeat.

+1

[Beatles123]

There are stud CB's avalable in round 2 as well, just like RB. Just sayin'

[lazoran]

Running back is the Bucs 2nd biggest need after middle linebacker.

CB, LB, S, and OT are all bigger needs than running back. Not saying we need to ignore running back and it would be nice to bring in a quality third down back but Blount is not a slouch and is probably one of the most intimidating runners in the game.

[3rd String Kicker]

Awesome. One more team out of the way between us and Kalil, not that I expected the Browns to take Kalil at 4.

[alldaway]

Holmgren is on the hot seat so yeah Richardson is probably the pick.  They probably go WR with the other pick instead of taking Blackmon at the top.

Kalil, Claiborne, Blackmon...lots of good choices for the Bucs.  I like.
