    Daylen Baldwin  17    WR    6-2    212    23    1    Michigan

    David Bell  18    WR    6-1    212    22    2    Purdue

    Amari Cooper  2    WR    6-1    210    28    9    Alabama

    Jaelon Darden  16    WR    5-8    173    24    3    North Texas

    Jakeem Grant Sr.  9    WR    5-7    172    30    8    Texas Tech

    Mike Harley Jr.  82    WR    5-10    180    25    1    Miami (Fla.)

    Donovan Peoples-Jones  11    WR    6-2    204    24    4    Michigan

    Anthony Schwartz  10    WR    6-0    186    22    3    Auburn

    Isaiah Weston  17    WR    6-4    214    25    2    Northern Iowa

    Michael Woods II  12    WR    6-1    204    23    2    Oklahoma

    ------------------------------

    So, there they are...minus Felton, who's not listed as a WR.  The main contributors are in bold (although Woods did get some playing time).  And Weston...he's tall.  🙂 

    Something's gotta happen here.  We're looking to the draft, I'm assuming.  And, of course, there's OBJ.  Some speculate that he 'could' come back to us.  But I just don't see it happening.  Not the way he left.  I don't care how popular he was in the clubhouse with the players.  To me, it's a burnt bridge.  He'll probably sign with someone sometime after the draft.  

    I don't want to see Schwartz on our roster for opening day.  If he's there, then we probably did not upgrade the position enough.

      Yes I'm thinking they have to draft a WR as well. OBJ is a diva, I wouldn't want that snowflake back on the team. 

      Cooper and DPJ are all we really have at WR. Agreed - Schwartz is a bum and Bell didn't look good at all last year either - not that he can't grow but I'm not counting on it. 

      I'm looking through the unrestricted free agents and it looks gross. DJ Chark and Robbie Anderson are probably the two best left that haven't signed yet - they are both vertical threats like DPJ and we probably have to overpay to get one, so to the draft it is.

        And they said Ray Farmer overlooked good WR's..?  

        The day Stef can move Schwartz to PS ? Is the day Berry would need to approve it.. Until than? Schwartz is a game day inactive..

        I liked Jaelon Darden when he was coming out of North Texas (did he get injured?/drops?)..Winner of Darden vs. Harley Jr.. would need to bump either Woods or J. Grant 

        FA or Draftee, needs a projected higher ceiling than Bell,Grant or Woods

        4 names.. OBJ.. DJ Chark ( @dutch-oven believe it was Tour2ma that really liked DJ Chark)...  Draft--Marvin Mims.. Zay Flowers 

        Does anyone remember a Eagles game when .. WR Quez Watkins toasted us deep? I'd try to trade/ give a pick for him.. 6'  193 lbs & ran by us at 4.36 ? that's taking the top/lid off of a defense.. That's the WR type that the Browns are missing...annoying gnats & Jitterbugs too

          Page 10 of the 2023 Browns NFL Draft Prospects has a conversation about WR prospects projected to go in rounds 2 and 3 if you're interested.  There's some highlights and draft rankings in there centered around the area the Browns are scheduled to draft.

            Totally agree on OBJ. But Snow White always takes a bite of the poison apple.?

              Even if he was the Mother Teresa of the Browns' locker room - the thing preventing him from getting signed is how injury prone he continues to be.  However, it'll probably be a team with an unanticipated high volume of injuries to their WR Corps that will end up signing him ironically enough.  I hope that's not us.  

              If the Browns lost Cooper to injury our passing game is 1-800-ALL-DONE.  Our FO has to be thinking about this heading into the draft.  I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to trade up for a WR given how do or die this off season is for Berry and Stefanski.  Having said that, there's some intriguing WR prospects that can probably help us in round 2 or 3.  Wasn't Ohio State's Michael Thomas a 2nd round WR once upon a time?  Wasn't Tyreek Hill a 5th round WR?  The luck of the draft rewards the diligence of the research.

                No doubt about Schwartz.  If he doesn't ball out in camp, I don't see any way he sticks.  We have enough bodies that someone should be better.  Harley as an example was the leading receiver in Miami history.  I am not saying he is going to be good, but it has to mean something.  

                No doubt we look towards the draft and the odds are a receiver will be the pick.  I think out starting guys are good enough.  We just need a few players behind them to step up to provide options.  It's time for a few of those guys to step up and time for a few of those guys to be cut and replaced with the next wave of prospect receivers.  If a receiver doesn't show some sort of reliability after 2-3 years, it time to move on and quit wasting time and resources.

                For every guy we continue to keep on the main roster or practice squad, that is one less position for another player who might become decent, be it at receiver or another position.

                If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                  You brought up a point I failed to mention.  It doesn't have to be a drafted player.  There is still time for a trade, June 1 cuts, and camp cuts to find a receiver.  We now have a QB who can make pro bowl wide receivers.  All top receivers aren't that because they are just that much better than anybody else.  Many of them are because they found a connection with a top QB who feeds them the ball.  QB's tend to throw to the guy who has caught passes before.

                  If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                    And they said Ray Farmer overlooked good WR's..?  

                    The day Stef can move Schwartz to PS ? Is the day Berry would need to approve it.. Until than? Schwartz is a game day inactive..

                    I liked Jaelon Darden when he was coming out of North Texas (did he get injured?/drops?)..Winner of Darden vs. Harley Jr.. would need to bump either Woods or J. Grant 

                    FA or Draftee, needs a projected higher ceiling than Bell,Grant or Woods

                    4 names.. OBJ.. DJ Chark ( @dutch-oven believe it was Tour2ma that really liked DJ Chark)...  Draft--Marvin Mims.. Zay Flowers 

                    Does anyone remember a Eagles game when .. WR Quez Watkins toasted us deep? I'd try to trade/ give a pick for him.. 6'  193 lbs & ran by us at 4.36 ? that's taking the top/lid off of a defense.. That's the WR type that the Browns are missing...annoying gnats & Jitterbugs too

                      You are getting to the age where you are probably already pissed just going to work, so what else is new??

                        ------------------------------

                        So, there they are...minus Felton, who's not listed as a WR.  The main contributors are in bold (although Woods did get some playing time).  And Weston...he's tall.  🙂 

                        Something's gotta happen here.  We're looking to the draft, I'm assuming.  And, of course, there's OBJ.  Some speculate that he 'could' come back to us.  But I just don't see it happening.  Not the way he left.  I don't care how popular he was in the clubhouse with the players.  To me, it's a burnt bridge.  He'll probably sign with someone sometime after the draft.  

                        I don't want to see Schwartz on our roster for opening day.  If he's there, then we probably did not upgrade the position enough.

                        No doubt about Schwartz.  If he doesn't ball out in camp, I don't see any way he sticks.  We have enough bodies that someone should be better.  Harley as an example was the leading receiver in Miami history.  I am not saying he is going to be good, but it has to mean something.  

                        No doubt we look towards the draft and the odds are a receiver will be the pick.  I think out starting guys are good enough.  We just need a few players behind them to step up to provide options.  It's time for a few of those guys to step up and time for a few of those guys to be cut and replaced with the next wave of prospect receivers.  If a receiver doesn't show some sort of reliability after 2-3 years, it time to move on and quit wasting time and resources.

                        For every guy we continue to keep on the main roster or practice squad, that is one less position for another player who might become decent, be it at receiver or another position.

                        The fact is when the rubber meets the road he's a choker. He may ball out in camp, but so far he has the dropsies in real games. Waste of a 53 IMO.

                          Don't give up on Bell so early. While he's not a "burner" he could be a Brian Brennan style WR. He makes some tough catches in traffic.

                              Call it what you want.  I will say that if the guy plays well in camp, I wouldn't just summarily dismiss him based on a feeling.

                              That said, I have already said he shouldn't stick, so we don't disagree.  If he didn't perform well while he was still a rookie or 2nd year player and didn't have much pressure on him from the staff, I don't think that will change now that he is up against the wall.

                              If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                Beyond the age.  And I should be retired...'cept I like guitars too much, and ride a cart for 18 a week, etc.....and I have the easiest job in the world with good benefits and plenty of time off.  So....maybe January.

                                  Hopefully he comes through, because the WR unit starts looking pretty thin in the future if he doesn't.

                                  DPJ is a free agent after this season and Schwartz might be lucky to make the team.

                                    At this point, Schwartz not making it doesn't make us any thinner.  It can only go up if the guy has somehow learned to catch, which I doubt since most people learn how to do that when they are 9 years old. 

                                    If you were never hit in the face by a baseball, you never learned to catch or learned at an early age.

                                    I'd make Schwarts field about 50 fly balls.  If he can't catch or at least track them, forget him.  If you can run 25 yards and catch a baseball, a football is easy peasy.

                                    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                      Marquise Goodwin stopped in for a visit.  That would be a good affordable pickup.  I mentioned him mid season last year.  World class speed and a veteran who has stuck around for awhile.

                                        The Browns trading for Jerry Jeudy rumors are the turd that just won't flush.

                                        Latest one I saw is the Browns trading #42 and Greg Newsome for him. That seems STEEP.

                                          With some people, self preservation is the issue.  They're afraid of getting hit...so they lose concentration and look for someone who's going to tackle them before actually catching the ball.  Braylon Edwards was a great example of that.  Derick Anderson could throw a bomb over the top and Edwards would make these truly great catches.  But to catch an easy ball over the middle for a 1st down.....he drops it...because he's afraid he might get a boo-boo.  And Schwartz is a skinny guy...who's gotten hit and hurt, who's gotten hit and concussed.  It's probably hard for him to suppress the self preservation reflex.   

                                          BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE
