    even if mccoy pans out do you pass on one of these guys that everyone says is the next manning or rivers?

    Yep, you pass on them. We hear this nearly every year and only a couple pan out to be decent. After seeing McCoy today, I'll take my chances with him.

    For every Manning, a Leaf, Couch, Russell, etc.

    It is difficult to determine how a player will take to playing the new game of the NFL...

    I hope Browns' scouts do their job and pick either a savior QB, elite WR, or shut-down corner. (Not sure on QB, Green for WR and Peterson for CB)

    Defensive backs?

    Maybe quarterback? I think Colt showed some promise and upside during the game today, so it will obviously be bobbled on the hands of Colt McCoy and how he improves (hopefully) over the course of the season. If McCoy flops on the year I think a guy like Ryan Mallet would really bring the Browns back.

    But, if McCoy does well this year, I think the Browns could pick up a guy like Pat Peterson or Amukamara.

    WR and its not close. Our starters are the worst in the league and its not close. IMO we need to sign a big time veteran WR if possible. This crew needs some leadership. Rookie recievers arent going to be the answer. Start McCoy the rest of the way.

    Hell Id start Moore out there over Robiskie!!

    Moore is the best we have at getting separation.

    The biggest problem I have with starting Colt is he will take WAY too much of a beating (coverage sacks & runs) than he would with a productive WR unit. We need to get this young craftsman some tools.

    I have never seen an NFL team so depleted at the WR position, how any of you can even mention another position is beyond me. We don't need 'a' WR, we need an entire WR fleet.

    Sure, Wright needs replaced ... ummm, by Haden.

    Right. Wright needs to cover the other team's 3rd WR in those multiple sets. Or maybe he can keep up with a TE or a RB, but he is having a great deal of difficulty with any receiver of medium competence. Odd because last year he was our best Corner.

    And maybe this question should be asked: Should we have traded Braylon Edwards? Yes, he is a punk, but I think a lot of that perhaps came from immaturity (and because he was from Michigan......just kidding there). It is possible that he may have eventually matured.

  • All that being said, I think we need a monster pass rusher. We just don't have one. Our DBs would probably improve if we had someone that could get to the QB.

    Sure, we need a WR, and another DB and a LB and maybe even a Right Tackle, but we definitely need that pass rush.

    Amakamara would certainly be an interesting pick as that would then make it two years in a row that the Browns would select a Cornerback. It may not be their best move, given the roster needs....but it may not be their worst either.

  • Jonathan Baldwin has that insane size/speed combo with GREAT hands and a crazy verticle, just needs to run routes better

    He's 6'5 225 with a 4.4 40yd and like a 42inch verticle

    and he can CATCH

  • WR,QB,RB,S,CB,DE,too many holes to fill.To make a trade for one player at this point is pointless,unless your gettimg draft picks.

    I totally agree. I do think WR should be our #1 priority for sure, but if AJ Green is gone, i dont want to reach for a typically drama queen filled position, get a 2 rounder so the ego doesnt become AS big of a problem..

    I watched the game Sunday adn then rewatched the highlights several times and one of teh main things I noticed was Colt consistantly getting sacked/hurried and Ben getting the ball away right before he got hit, even when we were blitzing like 7 guys. This is for 2 main reasons I think: 1. Steelers have better receivers that get open faster and 2. they had better pass rushers who got to Colt even just a split second before our guys would get to Ben... we were so close so many times, but getting a stud pass rusher would draw double teams/ attention away from a Benard or Roth or whoever and we could actually get some pressure on the QB and give Rob Ryan a wet dream...better pass rushers=better DBs as well...

  • This weekend proved that we do not need a QB. We do, however, need WR help - and given whatever they do with Rogers' bulging contract next year, DL.

    I would be very happy with Marcel Dareus (DL) from Alabama or Baldwin (WR) from Pitt, whichever one is on the board when the Browns pick. If both are gone, then either of the CB's from LSU or Nebraska would look great in orange.

  • Biggest position of need for the Browns?

    Defensive LinemEn...Defensive BackS

  • WR...by a million miles. If we have a legit deep threat, our other receivers will look a lot better than they are. If Hardesty ever gets healthy, I think our RB position is set. We do need J.J. Watt. I love that kid. Big ole' hands and he's fast, I just don't know if he has the size, though he is like 6'4 290. DB wouldn't hurt either.

  • Offensive coordinator and a matching WR...

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • Here we are 11 years into not being able to score and not a single playoff victory and a team devoid of WR's and running on a half cylinder at RB and dependent on a rookie at QB..........

    and still folks say the glaring need is defensive personnel..........OH MY

    indeed baffling

    There is a glaring need for a variety of positions, offense and defense....but there IS potential at the QB and RB positions. Those guys have merely to develop properly. (Or are you suggesting we bring in high priced free agent veterans at those spots?) There IS no potential at the DL/OLB pass rusher spot. We need to draft some potential there.

  • A big, Fast , Tall WR.......with good hands .....please

    I think the Carolina Panthers feel our pain and I think they are competition for the #1 WR in the draft. If we're going to be serious about this and want AJ Green or whomever we deem the top wideout to be....

    We need to keep losing and not win ourselves out of a draft pick again. Our 4 game winning streak at the end of last year was great for motivation but it killed our chances at Berry.... If we had Berry and Ward, that bum Elam would never see the facking field ever again.

    if that happened we would have berry, but no haden 🤔

    We didn't get the shot at Berry, but we did have one at Earl Thomas, who is doing fantastic this year and in my opinion is doing better than Berry.
