solid nickelback or starter depending on if the browns want youth or experience.

Has to be an upgrade over Terry Cousin.

Eric Wright and Brandon McDonald...

McDonald played fairly well last year, I don't know if you'd want to "stunt" his growth by playing Hood in his spot. But Hood will be able to help McDonald grow...

I know who our CB's are. McDonald had a few rough patches last year, but came on later. But, I guess you could start Champ Bailey and Deion Sanders in their primes and make them cover for 8+ seconds and they'd have rough patches. I'd like to stick with the youth, but having guys come in and challenge them can't be a bad thing. I would assume Hood would come in and take the nickel spot. 3rd down was a disaster last year.

I think Hood's a good signing for them. Like you said, definitely better than Cousins. Hood brings a strong nickel back to the team and a veteran presence to help Wright and McDonald. He'll definitely push them...which is a good thing.
