Bill Livingston has been writing in the sports section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer for quite some time, and I have been reading his articles for quite a few years as well. I would just like to say that this article, though very brief, was one of my absolute favorite works of his since I can remember evaluating them.

Cleveland Browns Draft Breakdown

Over the weekend the Cleveland Browns participated in the 2011 NFL Rookie Draft along with the other 31 teams in the league.
1.) The Browns traded their 6th overall pick in the first round to the Atlanta Falcons, in return the Falcons gave the Browns their first round pick (27th overall), second round pick and 4th round pick in this year's draft and first and fourth round picks in next year's draft.
2.) The Browns made another trade on Day 1 of the draft. Swapping first round picks with the Kansas City Chiefs and moving from 27th to 21st in round one. With that pick the Browns selected defensive lineman Phil Taylor from Baylor University.
3.) Additionally, the Browns added another defensive lineman Jabaal Sheard from University of Pittsburgh and wide receiver Greg Little from University of North Carolina on Day 2.

NFL Lockout Reinstated

After a U.S. District Court judge ruled in favor of ending the lockout last week, just a few days before the 2011 Rookie Draft, another ruling was passed in a seperate court that officially reinstated the conditions of the initial lockout. So, as far as the newly drafted rookies go, they are not allowed to sign contracts or meet with their new cocaches and teammates. Additionally, teams may not sign any undrafted or regular free agents that remain on the market. No telling what is going to happen now!

Cleveland Indians Fast Start!

The fighting wig-wammers of the Cuyahoga finished the month of April with an 18-8 record. The franchise's best start since before 2002. Fan favorite Grady Sizemore came back in the middle of the month and jolted the team with his new burst of energy. Big bopper Travis Hafner has returned to his playing form from 3 or 4 years ago. Asdrubal Cabrera has truly begun to flourish as a legitamate threat at the plate to opposing pitchers. Additionally, the Tribe swept 4 three game series from various opponents during the month. A full breakdown of the team's successes can be found at the following link...videos included.
