    😐 I don't think that Sheard can play linebacker and he'll have to on this team since we switched to a 3-4 defense.

    You don't think that because...???...???...

    He covered RBs, FBs, and TEs last year, albeit not every play, but did quite well. He's more athletic than I think you are giving him credit for.

      It's quite possible that at least three or four of the bottom of that list make it to us. Hopefully we get to choose between these guys:

      55. Dwayne Gratz CB UConn

      61. Larry Watford OG Kentucky

      63. Darius Slay CB Mississippi St.

      64. Phillip Thomas FS Fresno St.

        He ran a 4.65ish 40 time before he was drafted and he is only 255 pounds. How do you not see it being at least slightly possible he can make the transition.

          😐 According to Bruce Drennan sources told him that Sheard had a lot of trouble at the minicamp they just had. I heard that on Drennan's show "All Bets Are Off".

            😐 When did Sheard cover all these players? In college? In high school? I don't remember him dropping into coverage the last couple of years. Sheard has been a pass rushing defensive end in a 4-3 defensive scheme.

                Do you watch the Browns play?? He has dropped into coverage a few times in the past 2 years, and has been quite successful when doing so. Just b/c he plays DE in a 4-3 doesn't mean he rushes the passer every play... there are different zone blitzes when he would cover the flat, as well as other zone coverages where he would cover a TE on a short route...

                Plus, if I was the FO I'd wait until we see more than 1 minicamp before dumping the guy. Especially being that he has been our best pass rusher the last 2 years.

                  The way I look at it Gordon is better an all available, half the first and imo the six pick this year in the draft. I'm ok with no second pick

                  "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

                        What a fall for Matt Barkley. Now a 3rd rounder at best.

                          😕 I watch every game and yes Sheard dropped in coverage just a few times to confuse the offensive line on a blitz. How many times? The answer is very few.
