    Nice !

    I thought that kicked tire went flat after the Moore trade.

    Schwartz/ Bell & Woods at camp, fights for a roster spot or practice squad bubble.

    adding Bill Musgrave's to AVP with Stef calling plays... We'd hope to see the 2020 Deshaun Watson play like it 

    Bell isn't fighting for a roster spot, barring disaster. 

    Schwartz and Woods are, dependent on special teams play.

    Correct..

    Better worded would be playing snaps.. Bell & Schwartz both had 70.. Woods was right there with them at 67 last season.. staying tuned

    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.

    Just curious remember Brian Brennan 5' 9" 178 ?  Career 59.4%.  (Kosar years.)  Great possession receiver kind of in that class.

    Thanks for bringing him up.  Loved Brian Brennan.  He led our 12-4 team in 86 with 55 receptions playing almost exclusively on 3rd downs.  The OTHER guy that came up big on 3rd downs was RB Herman Fontenot with 47 receptions. On a team that had talents like Mack, Byner and Slaughter - the blue collar work of Brennan and Fontenot kept a lot of drives alive with their clutch performances within their situational roles.  

  • Goodwin  (don't know why the yellow highlight)

    Position: WR  5-9, 180lb (175cm, 81kg)     - another Elf (smurf).    C'mon Weston...be good!

    Thanks flug,

    When they were talking about these WRs I thought about #86 Brian Brennan during the Cleveland BROWNS  glory years with Boardman native and the "U" National Champion Bernie Kosar.  And 1986 was Brian Brennan's best year as a BROWNS player,  plus a great guy whenever you needed a 3rd down conversion made.  Not flashy but very reliable and his stats :

    Now here's a legit question for you:

    Are you upset because you are genuinely upset in the direction the Browns are going, or are you upset because you really look forward to the Draft and once again the air is let out of your Browns Draft Balloon? Or both? (I understand how one could be both)

    I'll preface my answer with saying the reason the Browns have the most last place finishes in their division since they returned to the NFL is because they've done the worst in the draft.  Free agency and crack-pipe trades has never been the magical catch-up tool.   That said, did I tell you if you watch the first Rocky movie 24 times that he finally wins the 24th time you watch it?  

    My answer is both.

    I agree.  It's pretty rare a team gives up on a higher draft picks after just 1 season.

    Part of me thinks it is highly improbable now, but if you think about it, despite all the moves most of them are pretty short-term. Most of the WR room could be gone by this time next year.

    I'm thinking it's more likely they trade up with some of those extra picks either for another Edge or, "ta da", the fastest RB to come out of college in a number of years who also has hands. One more safety valve option with the ability to take it to the house when receivers create a broken field. Schwartz the dropping machine is a goner.

    With the addition of speedy FA WR's I'm already excited to see what this does for the RBs we already have whether or not we add one more RB in the draft.

    Depends on if they think Peoples Jones is re-sign-able.. Coop & Moore & Bell are really the only 3 options with more than a year on contract left.. I'd have to see Marvin Mims/ Parker Washington or Hyatt still on the board to consider a WR in the 3rd..I like Jonathan Mingo past the 3rd rd.

    messing with the draft sims.. to get from 74 to mid 50's? cost a 4th/5th & #74..much better depth options at DT & Edge.

    Overcoming adversity does take a winner so it's not a bad point.  Then again, what was the purpose of the sequel that followed the 1st Rocky movie?  Fans of the fictional character wanted to see a winner with the heart of a champion finally rewarded with his Championship right?  Isn't that what us fans of the Browns have wanted for the Brows to accomplish in the non-fictional world? The 80s was my favorite era following in spite of the heartbreak endings.  They kept coming back the next year and it was very admirable.  I felt bad for Sipe (13th round draft pick in the early 70s turned NFL MVP at the onset of the 80s) and Byner (10th round pick) that we leaned on heavily until their turnovers in/near the end zone in the closing seconds ended our post seasons.  Byner later won a Super Bowl as the work horse for Joe Gibbs.  Sipe retired shortly thereafter and went to the USFL.  

    The fictional movie took place in Philadelphia.  Isn't that the same City where the majority of it's fan base booed the selection of QB Donovan McNabb by Andy Reid with their 2nd overall pick?  Keep in mind, if the Browns weren't re-entering the league in 99 - Philly would have drafted 1st after finishing with the league's worst record in 98.  Anyway, Andy Reid's guy McNabb led the Eagles to the playoffs as early as his 2nd year and all but 1 or 2 years over the next 10 years or so.  In that span, they won frequently enough to attend 5 NFC Conference Championships and 1 Super Bowl.  Because they lost 4 of the 5 Conference Championships and the 1 Super Bowl - the fans wanted both Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb out. In the non-fictional version of Philly sports fans a very large contingent of their Eagles' fanbase began to call those guys losers and wanted to chase them out of town. When you get to a point where you remain great for a while (we haven't had that since the 80s) there starts to become a divide where many will remain with your "You don't always have to win, to win" and others that start to get hateful or become Steeler fans. The irony of everything is the same Andy Reid a large contingent of Philly's fan base labelled as a loser just led KC to a Super Bowl victory over Philly.  

    Gipper, Hoorta and I got to meet Mack and Byner at a Browns Backers party in one of the Honky Tonk Saloons in Nashville.  That was a fun weekend with those guys.  To save them some money I let them stay at my dump.  There was all kinds of great SEC matchups on TV that Saturday afternoon and Gipper talked me into going to President James Polk's house.  I never realized how smart Gips was outside of our football world.  He told me some fascinating stuff about the Kennedys that made the 50 minute trip each way feel like 10 minutes.

    Who is the TE of your completely non-sexual dreams?

    You make a fair point about largely short-term crowdedness of the WR room.

    As long as the TE is an 'old-school' type that can block AND catch, like @flugel and me have been beating the old equestrian out of, I'm good. Don't have access to your fancy draft magazines here, but Darnell Washington from those other Dawgs seems to fit the bill.

    I'm thinking it's more likely they trade up with some of those extra picks either for another Edge or, "ta da", the fastest RB to come out of college in a number of years who also has hands. One more safety valve option with the ability to take it to the house when receivers create a broken field. Schwartz the dropping machine is a goner.

    With the addition of speedy FA WR's I'm already excited to see what this does for the RBs we already have whether or not we add one more RB in the draft.

    With all the guys we have been adding, and limited roster space resulting from that, you are not the only one thinking might be packaged or traded out.

    Never seeing the WR who 'happens to share his name with the new DC, but will otherwise not be named' in the orange and brown ever again would be one of the satisfying outcomes this period.

    Part of me thinks it is highly improbable now, but if you think about it, despite all the moves most of them are pretty short-term. Most of the WR room could be gone by this time next year.

    And that was written before our latest WR Goodwin addition which makes it even more likely IMO.

    Rocky did win.  That was the point of the movie.

    No, Rocky lost the fight in the original, first installment of the series.

    You might want to watch that again, because winning the fight was absolutely not the point of the first Rocky.
