Wide Receiver

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.

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.

With a cap of around 9m left.. This might be the best we can do ?
Goodwin played with Geno Smith at the Hawks last season.. Durable in 13 games, with over 400 snaps .. 4 TD's.. played last season for 1.275M.. age 32 until Nov ..
Good WR3.. adds Injury insurance to the room

Elijah Moore, welcome to the club. Had a horrible qb last year. Will get way more opportunities here

Which is why they need a higher draft pick in dealing for Rodgers.
OH, and adios Schwartz. Last of the dropped easy catches hopefully.

Is this guy going to be better than Bell or Mike Woods?
I'm skeptical, sorry. Trading our picks has been a disaster.
Well, some of our picks have been a disaster.

Moore is precisely the kind of receiver they needed. Real burner. Cheap. Young. Great compliment.
Fuck I’m excited. These bastards are reeling me back.

In this case we just traded back about 30 spots to get Moore. I think this is a low risk move for a player with potential, speed, and low contract.

Wow, I love this Elijah Moore trade. Great move for a young WR with a lot of potential at a cheap cost.
-
Great move.. Upgrades at every position are always important, and today WR3 and therefore also WR4 are better than they were yesterday.
-
Moore is 22…may as well be a draft pick he’s as old as some of them.

with NFL experience another steal, Cooper last year Cleveland again is the place where other teams go to lose in WR'S trades

He's a smurf. (an Elf, since he's a Brown now). 5' 10" 179 lb. 56% catch percentage. I don't see him as being 'the answer'. (Elijah, the savior)
...and now our first pick is in total crap-shoot land. 3rd round. But...at least they're attacking the spots that we all hoped they would. Be good Elijah, we need ya to be good.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

We aren’t asking him to be the answer. Just eat up the 2nd and 3rd best corners and be a decoy at times and stretch the field.
i don’t like the negative attitude he had last year though

Agreed. Berry got a Dollar Store band aid and a Walmart Cola for the price of a 2nd round pick. Who would do such a thing? Oh yeah, the guy that reached way up in to round 3 for a WR like Anthony Schwartz. This will be our 2nd year in a row of entering the draft in round 3. Last year, Berry started the draft with a corner who was impressive enough to have Berry's 1st round Corner (Newsome) eventually reduced to covering the slot.
One thing written about the selection of Elijah Moore coming out of Mississippi before his rookie year was "he never played with an elite QB." This will be one of the excuses why he was a backup Slot Receiver in NY. Garrett Wilson, who DID play with an elite QB or 2 in college - played pretty well as a rookie WR for the Jets in spite of their QB situation.
When your favorite team doesn't have a GM that is very good or confident in his ability to draft anything beyond Cornerbacks - you're paying more for temporary band aids previously drafted by other teams for positions that have been neglected here.
Is this what we're reduced to doing every year? Rooting for free agent moves or trades like this - because we have a FO incapable of competing in the draft? We got a BACKUP Slot Receiver for the 42nd overall pick. I'm just frustrated; but I see we have people popping champagne about this trade in another thread. Let's hope he's everything our fans want him to be.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
I don't see downside to this move. He's better than the current WR3 and WR4 on the roster, and he's better than any WR who would have been available if we'd used the "entire" second-round pick on a WR. Moore played 30% of his snaps [scroll down, right outside+left outside] last season outside - he can be WR2 as well.
Sure, he's not "The Savior" - because no savior exists. The roster is improved only small-move-by-small-move.
Bell was our WR3 last season based on snaps -- and even if the same 3 plus Moore rotate, the fact that Moore is better at achieving separation will generate better results for all the WR's because now you can't ignore our WR3.. or shut him down with a backup linebacker.
Fun fact: DPJ lined up more in the slot last season [same link above] than he did outside. Is he "A Slot Receiver?" No - Like Moore, he's a receiver. They line up wherever they're asked..
