I've got 2 or 3 different ideas for my guest post already, just not sure what direction to take yet. ;)

That Lions game was quite the game, with them showing themselves to be the poor man's Patriots with a great offense but no defense.

So who are you hoping to see the Browns take in the draft, or what position? Imagine you've had time to consider it if you look ahead like that (think Peyton's replacement, Luck, will go #1 to Indy). The Huskers have a pretty good guy or two going to be available including Denard who may be one of the best CBs in the country...

Who the Browns should take in the draft is a really good question. I don't watch any college football these days, so I can't name specific players. As for position, though, I feel like the Browns are (overall) pretty solid on defense and really need to add some speed and playmaking ability on offense. I would lean toward upgrading wide-receiver as my # 1 priority (we really have amongst the worst WR corp in the league) and then seeing if we could get a fast scat-back type with good hands to help out on third down. We've got a lot of draft picks this year, so we need to really take advantage of them and do something good. Picking another QB in Round 3 or 4 to put a little pressure on McCoy might be good too . . .
