    I'm beginning to strongly think that these agents might be hearing a good bit about a potential lockout. This is already the third for sure first round draft pick to return to school (luck, jenkins, now blackmon). I could be way off base, but it seems odd to me.

    Bingo.

    Michael Floyd, too.

    Any kid that has a year or more left and suspects he could be picked by the browns and marked for failure would be smart to finish school and pray the browns dont come knocking again next year..

    let me guess you think the birds and fish dying are due to end of days?

    That's just silly, we all know Holmgren killed the birds and Heckert killed the fish, all to make room for Shurmur and....best of all, Bob LaMonte ordered the hits.

    The one and only time losing is acceptable is when it involves your virginity.

  • I think Mangini's behind this "All the Receivers Stay in School Program." When we have no receivers. Brilliant.

    What about AJ Green, or is it pretty concluded that he will be gone by the time the Browns pick?

    Yeah i think everyone seems him being gone by the time we get to pick but stranger things have happened so ill keep my fingers crossed but now it looks like Jones is the guy, built to play in the WCO offense 6'4 220 lbs and YAC is a must

    Well, except of course I am still on board as saying we need DL help first....and there may be more quality DL available than WRs.

    True enough Gipper- but look at the teams that draft ahead of us.

    1) Carolina- could use Green with an aging Steve Smith on the roster. But Clausen throwing Green the ball? Not good.

    2) Denver- With the worst defense in the league, they're going D, no question. Fairly stops here if Carolina doesn't take him. Peterson? A corner with the #2 pick? You're kidding, right?

    3) Buffalo- Could use help on either side of the ball.

    4) Cinti- with Stinko still on the team and some promising young 'uns, A #1 wr is not a priority.

    5) Cardinals- They need a quarterback, PERIOD. And they already have a #1 wr in Fitzgerald.

    6) Cleveland. So, my crystal ball says if Green falls past Buffalo, our odds are looking good. Julio Jones will certainly be there, if we want to go in that direction. I'm not debating we need serious help with our defensive front seven- but it would depend who gets taken ahead of us. If Fairly AND Green were both on the board- wow, that's a tough choice. But you have to factor in H&H and now Shurmur's background. It's going to be offense first everything else being equal.

    That's not true. Lots of major mocks have the Browns taking A.J. Green at #6. It just takes a QB, a few DL, and a CB going ahead of us, which is quite realistic.

    I'd call it 50/50.

  • Gabbert is getting a lot of heat as a Top five pick. Then you have Dareus, Bowers, and Fairley. Toss in Patrick Peterson and that's five picks who aren't A.J. Green.

    You think Gabbert is going to be the top QB taken? I agree with Hoorta that the Cardinals are probably the prime candidate to for sure take a QB, but with Luck staying home is anyone out there now worth of Top 5?

    Do you think they may want to take Cam Newton?

    Or does anyone else think like me and think Newton may be Jamarcus Russell version 2.0?

  • Would rather have Green if available but the way I look at we need DL,DE,CB so at leat we will be left with top flight at those positions

    I saw cool on the Shurmer hire as long as we get solid coordinators

    I've read a number of draftnicks predicting that Gabbert will rise... perhaps even to #1. He's got everything but eye-popping numbers: Size, athleticism, quick release, NFL arm, spins it fast, smart, etc. His completion percentage is nice but he didn't throw a ton of TDs. He'll work out and interview very, very well.

    He looks the part. You can watch film and envision him as a very good NFL quarterback. He could go to Carolina, Buffalo, or Arizona. I'm betting Harbaugh is eyeballing him, too... although I'm predicting that Kolb goes so SF.

    He was one of the top recruits in the nation coming out of HS, so it's not like he's come out of nowhere, either.

    He better be willing to give up a boatload for him. From what I've read Philly paid him 12m last season and only owes him 1.3 this year. Word is that they won't back off of the two 1st rounders for him and I can't see any team paying that.

  • Yeah i dont see Gillbert getting into the top 5 but we will see, i still think if Green is gone we should maybe try to trade back a couple of slots and grab him Jones say #10 ish because it has to be before the Rams because if hes there when they pick hes a goner..
