Predict Our 2012 Wr/te
-
In general there are 12 WR/TE that will make an NFL roster (and 1 on the practice squad). Who will they be this year for the Browns. One thing is for sure whoever they are they will be improved over who we had on our roster in 2011.
Benjamin, Travis WR
Cameron, Jordan TE
Cooper, Josh WR
Cribbs, Joshua PR/KR/SPTM/WR
Gordon, Josh WR
Gronkowski, Dan TE
Little, Greg WR
Massaquoi, Mohamed WR
Mitchell, Carlton WR
Moore, Evan TE
Norwood, Jordan PR/WR
Reed, Bert WR
Saffold, Jermaine WR
Smith, Alex TE
Spencer, Owen WR
Watson, Benjamin TE
Windsor, Rod WR (on practice squad last year)
Who do you think will stick this year?

As much as people are ready to give up on Mitchell, I don't think the coaching staff will.
He had a good catch in Week 1 and has a much bigger upside than Cooper.
IMO, Cooper's chance of making the roster is a competition between him and Norwood. I don't think they keep both of them, at least to start the year.
If the Browns only carry 6 WR including Cribbs, remove Mitchell from my list and keep Cooper on PS.
1s Little and Massaquoi
2s Gordan and Benjamin
3s Norwood and Cribbs
PS Cooper
TE1 Watson
TE2 Cameron
TE3 Smith
TE4 Moore
Moore could get the Ax if they decide to keep both Marecik and Smelly on the final roster.
Massaquoi could be a shocker cut, but I think they are going to give him a shot to start with his experience.

Windsor makes the practice squad.
I also think Smelley and Marecic make the team, so Smelley makes it as our H-Back playing both TE4 and FB2.
I only have 11 b/c I think we end up with an extra RB on the roster, either Ogby or Thomas.
Cooper doesn't appear athletic enough compared to some of these other guys. He was nice to have to get Weeden started, but he is not necessary from here on out. Mitchell can't stay healthy and obviously hasn't done enough to gain favor with the coaches. I hate to cut Alex Smith b/c only having the other 4 to block seems shaky, but I am optimistic that they all improved on their run-blocking and pass-protection over the offseason. Windsor will make a nice replacement if anybody gets hurt b/c he is a very average player and would make a nice WR6 on any team. No room for Gronk #3. And, the other 2 UDFAs didn't have a chance after we drafted Gordon. Who did I miss...? Owen Spencer... ehh

I mostly agree with the general feelings here except that Mitchell is cut and Gronkowski makes the team over smith.

Smith is cut if Schwartz doesn't continue to show improvement. Smoth's only asset was his blocking ability, and if it turns out we do have actual bookend tackles, Smith will no longer be needed.
Copper might make it based solely on the fact he can catch the ball all the time, a la Joe J.
Mitchell has to be done, there's no way he isn't. We have enough 6'3 receivers who can't catch.
