Quick-hitting analysis on every significant contributor to the 2010 Cleveland Browns.

*new veteran

**rookie

Head Coach: Eric Mangini

Offense

Coordinator: Brian Daboll

QB: Jake Delhomme*

Let’s just say he won’t exactly make Clevelanders forget about LeBron.

RB: Jerome Harrison

Has the shifty speed and agility needed to create his own space. The obvious concern is, being a thin 5’9”, 205, how much of a load can he handle?

RB: Montario Hardesty**

Second-round rookie has been described as a “banger”. Browns would love for him to quickly become the featured back.

FB: Lawrence Vickers

Not a driver, but consistently gets to his spots and stones opponents.

WR: Mohamed Massaquoi

Doesn’t have the speed to naturally separate from defenders, which is why it’s crucial he make significant improvements to his route running.

WR: Brian Robiskie

A non-factor as a second-round rookie last season, but turned a lot of heads with his work this past offseason.

WR: Chansi Stuckey

Speed, quickness and agility make him a great fit in the slot. Can he beat out proven slot connoisseur Bobby Engram?

TE: Benjamin Watson*

Probably better than he got credit for in New England, though doesn’t quite have the explosiveness or hands to be elite.

TE: Evan Moore

Lacks burst coming off the line of scrimmage, but can be a big upright target who works the seams well.

LT: Joe Thomas

One of the few players who truly makes the game look easy. Arguably the best left tackle in football.

LG: Eric Steinbach

Shows very good strength in landing blocks on the move. Is also reliable in pass protection.

C: Alex Mack

Second-year center plays with the savvy of a 10-year veteran. Mobile, fluid, and crafty in the way he compensates for “just okay” strength.

RG: Pork Chop Womack

Has size and starting experience, but is probably better suited as a guard/tackle tweener off the bench.

RT: Tony Pashos

Was once one of the more intriguing young right tackles, but has struggled mightily in Jacksonville and San Francisco in recent years. Most hone his technique, particularly in getting balance as a pass-blocker.

6 OL: John St. Clair

Best served as a utility backup. He wasn’t awful in his 14 starts at RT last season.

Defense

Coordinator: Rob Ryan

LDE: Kenyon Coleman

Hasn’t been the flash playmaker here that he was as a Cowboy and Jet.

NT: Ahtyba Rubin

Improved noticeably over the course of last season. Not dynamic enough to explode into a backfield like Rogers, but plays low and can hold his ground.

RDE: Shaun Rogers

Off-field legal issues could result in a suspension. The bigger concern is how he’ll rebound from the broken leg that wiped out the final quarter of his ’09 season. At his best, he’s the most destructive power-oriented defensive lineman in the game.

4 DL: Robaire Smith

The 11^th-year veteran can still anchor, though he wore down late last season.

LOLB: Matt Roth

Wants to be traded, but will have trouble finding a niche in another system. Has the makings of a very solid player if he can just stay on the field.

LILB: David Bowens

Too stiff to thrive inside. Browns hope one of the second-year guys (Kaluka Maiava or David Veikune) can step up. Or, that Eric Barton (neck) can get healthy.

RILB: D’Qwell Jackson

Prolific tackler who is playing for a new contract after missing final 10 games in ’09 with a torn pectoral muscle.

ROLB: Scott Fujita

Veteran leader on the Saints. Is much better equipped to play inside.

5 LB: Chris Gocong*

Inconsistent in Philadelphia. If his fortunes are to change here, he must be a more rabid hunter of the ball.

CB: Joe Haden**

World-class athlete who was drafted seventh overall to fix a broken secondary.

SS: T.J. Ward**

Former cornerback might be a better fit at free safety. Has questionable size but good zone instincts and closing/recovery speed.

FS: Abram Elam

Was a ghost for most of last season.

CB: Sheldon Brown*

Had a career-year in ’09 but still got shipped out of Philadelphia. At his best when he has a play-stopping, rather than play-making, mentality.

NB: Eric Wright

Not equipped for No. 1 duties, but should be a standout nickelback. Firm tackler, has good quickness and flexible hips.

6 DB: Brandon McDonald

Was benched three times as the No. 2 corner last season. Simply gives up too much separation. A dime role is a much better fit.

Special Teams

K: Phil Dawson

Held out from OTA’s demanding a new contract. This begs the question, when a kicker holds out, does anyone notice?

P: Dave Zastudil

Overall, has been one of the better punters in the NFL over the past eight years.

RS: Joshua Cribbs

The most lethal return specialist in the league got a well-deserved three-year contract over the offseason (worth up to $20 million, $7.3 million guaranteed).
