  • Ballsy move... As a outside unbiased fan.. Right now... Giving up a 2nd round pick for a raw guy that probably wont be ready to really play until 2 years from now... Now if Gordon develops into what his measurable say he could be.. In the furture this could be a really good draft pick...

    This is a pure potential driven pick... In the high rounds (1st and 2nd round) ... Those picks scare me especially for a rebuilding team....

    As of now i think its a solid pickup.. It could go either way.

    Heckert did his homework on the kid. We'll find out if he's right. From those two clips he sort of reminds me of Plaxico Burris. I hope he's smart enough to not shoot himself in the leg at a bar. πŸ™‚

    He's not as raw as you people think he is. Several people around the guy think he can come right end and become a starter this season. Maybe not #1, but honestly I don't give a shit, I only expect either him or Little to become a true #1. Obviously yes he has some work to do on his route running, but that is the one thing that can be coached up in the NFL. You can't coach height, speed, and it hard has hell to coach hands, but thank god he has all those already.

    Coaches from both Baylor a Utah, obvious the Browns, several other scouts, and several analysts.

  • Unlike Greg Little he WAS practicing with Utah in the season he missed. Greg Little was banned from practices, games, and being around the team entirely during the 2010 season. He was in trouble with the NCAA. Gordon was only in trouble with Baylor. When he was dismissed he transferred and acted like a normal transfer student. He sat out the year, but still practiced with the team and stayed in shape through workouts and conditioning. Greg Little came in and started after 4 games and a bye week. He came in and did that cold turkey. At least Josh Gordon has be thawing out all last year. He isn't cooked and ready to go, but he's sure as hell better off than Greg Little was.

    If Little can come in and start after 4 weeks from no contact with a team and having to stay in shape on his own, then I'm sure Gordon can come in and start after a few weeks and do the same since he was practicing with the team and working out with the team.

    every coach sells their players. the browns knew they struck out in the draft by not getting any receiver worth a damn so they picked up this guy. i'd like to see a link to any analyst with any clout saying anything about this guy.

    hey i hope this guy pans out but coaches talking up their players is about as rare as sushi.

    So then why would coaches who kicked him off his first team be on the list of people saying this stuff. He messed up and screwed Baylor out of being able to have him, yet all of his coaches from Baylor have nothing but the most positive stuff to say about him. They have nothing to gain from selling him yet they do.

  • it's called not burning bridges. in life and business kharma is a bitch. why screw someone over when they might be connected to you in some way in the future.

    btw, when did utah and baylor become the milestone at which fans, analysts and coaches judge NFL preparedness and talent?

  • I'm just going to say that I'm setting my own expectation bar at 30 receptions for 465 yards and 2 touchdowns.... I'm not expecting much this year from Gordon... I'm just happy they picked a quality height/weight/speed guy with solid production (albeit one season). I just want him to develop and now the first three draft picks next year can be DE, OLB, and CB.

    To be fair Baylor did just put 4 guys out in the first round the past two years, and Utah is Pac-12 and sees several players drafted each season having a 3 player average over the past 5 seasons, 5 of whom were picked in the 2nd round. These are not MAC schools. If BG or W. Michigan's coaches started repping a player I wouldn't listen. These are schools from top conferences and while they are not NFL factories they tend to put out their far share of talent almost every season.

    And while there are no need to burn bridges there also isn't any reason to rep someone you have no ties too. Both Baylor (cut him) and Utah (brought him and didn't even get the chance to use him) had no reason to go out of their way to rep this guy but did. And holy shit if there is karma in football I am surprised we haven't seen some stadiums burn to the fucking ground by now.

    Jerry Rice went to Mississippi Valley State. Look at all the WRs in the HOF and see what schools they come from. It doesn't matter where you played college ball, only how good you are.

    Yeah- enough of this "well he only went to ________" Either you can play in the NFL or you can't.

    I note parenthetically however that the only school with more than one HOF WR is Ohio State....and that doesn't include Cris Carter who should make it in soon and will make it 3.

    Though I don't think they are HOFers, OSU is as good as any school in the nation at producing WRs, including Lavelli/Warfield/Carter. Also you had Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, Santonio Holmes and several other quality NFLers.

    (Its just that the Browns definitely got the dud of the bunch in Robo).

  • Here is a list of WRs that had somewhat productive, or better WRs and TEs that have come out of Ohio St.:

    Brian Baschnagel 9 years

    David Boston 6 years

    Cris Carter 13 years

    Doug Donley 5 years

    Joey Galloway 16 years

    Ted Ginn Jr. 5 years

    Terry Glenn 12 years

    Jeff Graham 11 years

    Brian Hartline 3 years (active and going)

    Santonio Holmes 6 years (active)

    Michael Jenkins 8 years (active)

    Chris Sanders 7 years

    Tony Gonzales 5 years (active)

    Brian Stablein 6 years

    Dante Lavelli 11 years

    Paul Warfield 13 years

    Leonard Willis 4 years

    Horace Gillom 10 years

    Bob Shaw 5 years (1940s)

    TEs:

    Rickey Dudley 9 years

    John Frank 5 years

    Ben Hartsock 8 years

    Darnell Sanders 3 years

    Jan White 5 years.

    Can anyone think of any school that can come close to matching OSU in NFL WR/TE production?

    Best bets: USC/Miami?
