Biggest position of need for the Browns?

  • A. J. Green is also a high class character. And he has the hands that the second best wr slated to go in the first round... reportedly doesn't.

    Green needs to be a Cleveland Brown.

  • If we are drafting in a first round spot and one of the annointed qb's is available, can you imagine how many draft picks, including at least one first rounder, we could get in a trade? We definitely need a wr. We could probably get the top choice in our list of needs. We really need one now!!

    If the new contract includes a cap on first round choices or an NBA style scale for first rounders, I think we will see more linemen - offense and defense - taken in the first round. Qb's and rb's have pretty well dominated the first round historically, but I think it will become possible to draft linemen without having to pay the astronomical salaries currently demanded by first round selections.

    Since we are currently in a situation in which we can "audition" some people, why don't we gamble and see what Matt Jones can do for us? He's been clean. He was strongly improving his last year with Jax. He was their #3 receiver, but was their leading receiver. He definitely has speed and he has height and can jump. He would definitely be an improvement over any wr we have now. I think he would work cheap just to get another shot. He could come to work now.

    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

    Its the Draft.When you draft CRAP your team plays like CRAP.

  • A great player at lb, free safety, DE, WR, RT, CB would help the team. I don't think we will draft a WR who they fear will become a prima dona. For the most part it will come down to best value at these positions. I think we will probably draft another CB it will be a sleeper pick later in the draft.

    But we will address every need possible in free agency first. If we can get a good free agent wide receiver such as Malcolm Floyd it gives us more options in the draft. Even if we picked up Floyd in free agency I can see us drafting another receiver in the middle of the draft

  • Am I the only one who believes that we trade away Eric Wright and draft Patrick Peterson?

    That is if we land in the top 5.

    A Peterson + Haden future is enticing.

    wow.

  • Floyd isn't a top WR in the #1 passing offense in the NFL. How in the world is he a #1 for Cleveland?

    Our draft should be best player available.. we're not one player away, we're many.

    Here's the thing about the names of players thrown out in this thread: We're not going to draft in the top 6 this year. I think Walterfootball has it decently accurate: #8. Players taken before then: Luck/Green/Peterson/Amukamara/Quinn/Dareus/Mallett

    I'd go with Adrian Clayborn from Iowa or Baldwin the WR from Pitt. Also available: Bailey/Harris at Miami, Ingram, Kerrigan (Purdue). This spot is too early for Julio Jones. Heyward/Posey in the second round depending on whichever one they don't get from the first would not be bad.

    The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." Paul Brown

  • We need WR's, a tough rookie and still need a vet. After that CB, DE, RB, and another lineman for the right side

    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.

    It's far and away our biggest need. DE is next. A lot of the rest is dependent on whether we resign Roth and/or DQJ and whether Brown moves to safety.

    wow.

    You wanna draft center, corner, and corner in three consecutive drafts? Starting each year with a top 10 pick?

    That'd be a pretty wild allocation of draft and cap resources. Then the next year we could draft a left guard.

    Assuming there is a season next year- the Browns need at least on stud wr, and a monster pass rusher. You won't win consistently in the NFL having to resort to gimmicks and blitzes to get to the quarterback- the NY Giants are exhibit A of what your DL should be capable of.

    I doubt DQ Jackson will be back, at the very least the Browns can't be counting on him to recover. Resigning Roth will be a priority.

    Totally agree. You won't win in this league for long if you can't pass the ball at a high level... or get to the passer. Defense has caught up a lot this year, but the teams that win year after year in this league have a guy near the top of the QBR who stays with the team for a decade. And with the rule changes, the key to slowing down all the other top passing offenses is pressure, pressure, pressure.

    I like Benard and Roth a lot, but we need someone else. Could be a DE, though.

    I wanna know why we signed Figurs. We need WR's not more bums.

    The bums gone.

    I have a new 2 round mock up at www.allnfldraft.com

    A.J. Green to the Browns?

    I think GReen will be taken by the time it is the Browns turn to pick.

  • OK, it's three weeks later, and lets reassess. Unless McCoy totally falls apart the last seven games, we aren't going QB anymore. (What you gonna do Shep? 🙄 )

    I think the Browns are very capable of winning at least four, and possibly as many as six of their remaining games- that takes #1 priority AJ Green off the table.

    I'm still rating the Browns needs as WR-DE-CB or SS, and LB.
