CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns are talking about bringing Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman, a Northmont High School graduate, in for a visit, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported. Coleman, who said he “clicked” with the Browns at last month’s scouting combine, is seen as a mid-round pick who can play safety and possibly double as a nickel cornerback.

The team also will take a closer look at Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in a private workout scheduled before the April 22-24 draft, team President Mike Holmgren confirmed.

Holmgren, General Manager Tom Heckert and coach Eric Mangini attended Tebow’s Pro Day on Wednesday, March 17, and were impressed with the improvement in his throwing mechanics and footwork. Holmgren still has reservations, however, about Tebow’s mechanics.

“I just think in the heat of battle guys will usually revert [to old form],” Holmgren said Thursday. “I think, and I told him this, that he was so thinking about his mechanics that at times it looked a little robotic.”

Why do the Browns need Tebow? They already picked up Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhome which will be more than sufficient for a few years. I'm not sold on any quarterback coming out this year and I'm definitely not sold on Tebow. He might be a quick learner and all that, but I don't think he'll be the starting quarterback of any team ever. There is a lot of potential for the Browns to better themselves in many other places and I think drafting an average quarterback would be a bonehead move.

Why shouldn't the Browns draft Tim Tebow in the first round at #7. It sounds like Jacksonville is rather desperate. If anything he is great for ratings. Could we demand Jax's 1st RD (10th overall) and say a 2nd or a 3rd? We could still get one of the guys we want at 10 (Joe Haden or Earl Little, instead of Berry) and draft another quality guy.

If they dont get the QB they seek off the bat, build that lineup quickly! Get your defensive needs as well. Jake will be there for 2 more years at least. No quarterback will make a difference without that Line knocking people back! I don't care if you hire bulldozing crews to go out there. There will be other players to replace them. I like the idea of Bradford, but will not work without that Line!
