Look at Derek Anderson and the Browns. They were OK on offense last season, but then they shore up that LT spot and all of a sudden Derek Anderson is the next star of the NFL and the Browns-THE BROWNS--are teaing up the league. Whatever. He just finally had time to throw.

We
could be that type of offense, but it'd take a LOT of work/luck.
Joe Thomas - elite LT prospect, one of the best I've seen personally ... Hope and pray we get someone who's perhaps 70% as good as him.
Steinbach - elite guard, high-priced FA ... I don't like our chances.
Shaffer - decent RT, high-priced FA ... not sure we can even get someone of his caliber in this offseason
Winslow - Gonzalez
Edwards - Bowe
Jurevicius - we really need a decent No. 2 threat
Anderson - I'm not extremely high on Anderson and feel he's more of a system QB, but can Brodie be that guy? Maybe ... as I said, a lot of luck is involved, too.
You're asking a lot to be the Browns. They accomplished that over two years, predominantly, with a lot of money spent and two top-three picks. We won't even have one.
