    And like Cribbs we could get him as a UFA.

    How about Travis Benjamin? He already has 1 return TD in 6 return attempts (3 KR/ 3 PR). I think we'll go with him.

    Certainly he is in the mix. The only question is: is he going to be a near full time WR for this team. The #3 man in essence. And, if so, do the Browns want to expose him on the special teams.

  • I would sign Danario Alexander from SD to be the #2 across from Gordon.. pushing Benjamin to the 4th WR, where he will definitely be the return guy.

    I'll bet you a decent amount of money that's not true

    But can Benjamin hold up? And I figured we'd currently be more concerned with him in the slot.

    Barner is overrated.

  • What do people think about the bills trade? If we just swap first rounders we'd pick up something like their third rounder. If, though, we throw in a fifth, we'd get a 2nd rounder instead.

    We'd move from having picks in the rounds 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6. It's giving another pick, true, but to be honest a 5th rounder isn't going to be an impact starter, it'll be a project player who might contribute on ST and maybe develop in to a rotation player. We have a ton of those guys already - Wade, Carder etc.

    So if we could get something like a CB in the first, RG in the second and TE in the third, I think we'd be in better shape.

    I believe that's the only reason were working Smith out. I'd love to trade down but the only way it happens is if Smith miraculously falls.

    I think the only way we trade down with the Bills at least is if they're jumping the cards for Smith, so it's unlikely. Barkley and the rest might available early second round though - it wouldn't surprise me if a QB was taken there, although I'd still like to see what Weedon can do in this offense (but that's a story for a another thread!)

  • Reason Alexander was tendered with no draft pick compensation and nobody's jumped is continuing concern over his knees. He played really well last year but he has kind of a K2 stain, a guy who has really, really old knees at a very young age. Too bad because he'd otherwise be an amazing get. Rangy, fast athlete... love the guy.

  • At this point I am all in for Millner if he is available.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Once again, I think #6 is too high for a #2 CB when our pass rush will allow less time for the opposing QBs & WRs to pick us apart. Another potential trade down partner MAY be the Dolphins looking for Long's replacement at left tackle. After all, there are 3 stud LTs in the draft & 2 of those may be gone in the 1st 4 or 5 picks. If that is the case, will Miami fork over their #12 & one of their 2nd rounders? Wallace won't do much damage if his QB is sitting on his butt before he gets open. Just a thought.

  • all the defensive moves weve been making got me thinking that 1st pick will be offense, would not surprise me to see patterson or austin in orange & brown..

    Actually, that's an excellent call ! The Rams are considered a definite pick at 16 for Austin.... (they are worried about somebody jumping ahead of them for him)...

    and with the second round pick gained by the Browns, they select:

    Darius Slay, CB out of Mississippi.

    And get an OG in the third round... Winters?

    those three picks could be one of the best three picks the Browns could possibly make. Austin is spectacular, Slay ran faster than Milliner, and is said to be possibly drafted before Jonathan Banks.... he has excellent skills....saw him wow them at the combine...

    I thiink that would make the offense and defense complete, except for TE, maybe. Draft an excellent kicker, and hell yeah !

  • Down at the One has interesting takes on who we might take. I'd love to help out Weeden and Williams.
