    I know Campbell has gotten a lot of early talk.

    I was thinking he would be a higher pick. Why would he be valued as a 3rd-4th round pick?

    Gumbs listed him at #53, which would be a trade up.

    i  forgot which internet show I was listening to but they had him falling to us in the 3rd

  • No doubt we need to select 3-4 players this year, and hopefully all will be solid guys in a year.  I want to go BPA and not worry about positions so much, but it wouldn't bother me at all (wink wink) if we draft a back, guard, and DT.

    I don't worry about RB so much as you can always draft and plug and play those guys to some degree.  I also like John Kelly who has been on our practice squad a couple of seasons.  We could play him this year.    Mid-late round Dt's and Guards could use a little seasoning in a perfect world.  Guards are in that area all the time.  Good ones.  DT's maybe not the studs, but you can still find good run stuffer in that area...pass rushers not so much....but run stuffers are fine in a rotational role, if not starting.

    LB is an area we could us.  maybe draft one rather than the back I mentioned earlier.  With our O-line, we can find backs who would be decent enough in free agency after camp cuts.

    Thank you.  I was forgetting about him.  I like him every August.  There's never been any room for him.  Perhaps, this year, the stars might line up for him.  ??

    That's why I can't see them drafting RB

    I think we might see a trade up, were, who knows?  I also think we will see an effort to trade back to gain picks next year.

    There is a buzz that the Browns could very well be trading. 

    As much as I'm never one that likes to hear the phrase "next year" - last I knew, we only had 4 draft picks scheduled for next year.  That might have changed - I'm not sure.  

    Bill Belichick was once asked about a get together he had with Jimmy Johnson fishing, ironically. I say that because aside from enjoying the relaxing activity on the water - Bill was fishing for info about the draft.  Johnson informed he saw draft picks as valuable capital toward building your team.  Bill became a guy known for trading back and gaining picks doing so.  That being the case, what was the harm in drafting a guy like Tom Brady in round 6 that nobody else seemed interested in?  He wasn't a 1st year starter; but the 1st year he started after Bledsoe got injured the next year - he was the Super Bowl winning QB that emerged into a GOAT.  

    I'm okay with not using all our picks this after the free agency efforts set us up so we can make trades with picks.  I had to sleep on that though but we can trade up for a better shot at immediate help or trade back to bulk up next year's draft. We have options.

    What you said above got me curious about the state of the Browns draft picks for 2024, and I've had trouble finding a recent article that states what picks they have for next draft. One article from last year said eight picks, another old article said seven.

    There isn't any articles in 2023.  I think you have to go all the way back to October of 2022 to see there was 7 left.  There's been some trades made that brought it down temporarily but others since could have brought it up.  This will probably change again after this year's draft if we make more trades.  I was hoping someone had an update on it all.

    I wouldn't give it any thought.  The guys we have in charge are the ones that he embarrassed.   Stef gave him the basic, Good to see you!  How've you been?  How's your family?  Hey, All the best!  Go fuck yourself...

    Ya know, in reality, I'd kinda' like to have OBJ lined up on the field.  He's somebody that the D has to pay attention to.  Also, he's liked by the players.  But he screwed us over, so he can't be allowed back.

    No... I don't want his drama queen bullshit here... He's a distraction and a locker room divider...

    Supposedly that's only half true.  It's said that he's a great team mate.  He works with the younger receivers and stuff.

    But yes, he's an attention lover.  I think a coach's life and job is simpler without him.  Less outside noise.  Less potential for outside noise.  Now, having said that, I betchya Watson would want him.  OBJ would pull some of the media attention off of him.  Even so, I wouldn't bring him back no matter how much I might need him.  Screw me once, shame on you.  Screw me twice, shame on me.  No, you don't get the second chance to screw me.

    You guys are agreeing in different ways.  Once was enough.  But, I DO think his inability to stay healthy is why 31 other teams won't sign him prior to any unforeseen volume of injuries to their WR Corps.  Doing it this way also humbles the wages.  If it doesn't - there will be other choices for the team in that situation.

    A lot can be said about what unfolded here.  Lucky for us, there's no reason to re-live any of it today.

  • As much as I would absolutely love to see nicker's head explode and to be able to read his nonstop whining that would result from signing OBJ, I'm with the consensus, and it appears the Browns have no real interest in bringing Mr Glass back either.

    If this does happen, we would be in pole position to land him. Some deal would have to be worked out to fit him under the cap and be able to sign our picks, but his history with DW might go a long way.

    I am not even sure I want the guy, but if it happens, so be it.

  • Browns wideout suffers season-ending injury

    https://www.wkbn.com/sports/cleveland-browns/report-browns-fear-wideout-suffered-major-injury/

    HOUSTON, Texas (WKBN) – The Cleveland Browns have confirmed that second-year wide receiver Michael Woods suffered a ruptured Achilles while working out with quarterback Deshaun Watson.

    He is expected to miss the entire 2023 season.

    Woods was a sixth-round draft choice of the Browns out of Oklahoma in 2022.

     

    In his first season in the NFL, Woods appeared in 10 games. He finished his rookie campaign with 5 receptions for 45 yards.

    Woods battled injuries last season, missing the entire preseason. He also was inactive for the first five games of the regular season.

    Quite a big loss for Woods.   While trying to do the right thing.  

  • I wonder how teams handle that.  It wasn't a team activity where the injury occurred.
