    WR's are dime a dozen - they touch the ball 3, maybe 5 times a game. QB's make WR's, not the other way around.

    And Calvin was what??? The third consecutrive WR Detroit took with their #1... and they were all high #1's... Can you name the other 2?

    My point is that "can't miss" WRs may be easier to identify than can't miss QB's, but not a lot easier.

      Hoyer goes out today and begings a season that shocks the world and we don't need to draft a QB.

      The first round produces a Cornerback and a guard who go on to HOF careers with the Browns.

      That would be one heck of a story. Stranger things have happened, Kurt Warner comes to mind. You know I can't recall a Cinderella story happening to this team, at least since their return.There has been a flash here and there ( Ben Gay) but nothing sustainable. Hell yea, why not now. Home town hero and all that.

      Yea, and then I woke up I'm afraid....

        If you mean the 2nd round pick, maybe.

        No way dumb and dumber don't trade up by packaging both 1st rounders together to move up one or two spots.

        Hell for that matter.... The Browns will be lucky to have their 2nd round pick available... They will probably have to throw that in also.

        Once again, a brand spanking new QB that's "their" guy with no one to throw to and nobody to block for him.

        And the cycle continues...

        And, once again, we have two first rounders, a second and a third on our line. More than most teams.

        That's nobody?

        Once the turnstile Cousins gets replaced by Greco or Lauavavaoav or Pinkston, things will look better up front.

        Yep. Besides Thomas and Mack 3/4th of the time that's nobody.

        They've been doing a bang up job so far eh?

        They should just trade Thomas for another first now. No use in wasting that talent either. By the time this team gets turned around he'll be 35 and done.

          Adam Schefter just reported the Browns were looking to ship Gordon and Little and one team called about Gordon.

          And the we highly want Ben Tate after the seasons over.

            The Lions have been in zero playoff games with Megatron because he's the focus of the offense, not a piece whose role is to catch some and remove safeties from the box.

            By way of comparison: The Niners made the NFC title game the year before they drafted Rice. Rice was the final piece to the puzzle, not the start of it. Roger Craig was the Niners leading receiver the year before they drafted Jerry.. and that's why they went WR, because they already had the battle at the LoS won.

            WR's are shiny hood ornaments - nothing more

              It is a chicken egg type argument. You may be right you may be wrong. If a guy cant catch and can't get separation I doesn't matter how good the QB is.

                There are 3 stud WRs playing college football this year, who look to be 1st round picks:

                Sammy Watkins - Clemson

                Marquise Lee - USC

                Mike Evans - Texas A&M

                I'd take one of these guys with the Colts pick. Assuming we grab a good QB with the first one.

                And your thoughts on Alan Robinson?

                    I feel like the WRs had a much better game this week in comparison to previous weeks. Of course the Vikings secondary is nothing to fear but the ball placement by Hoyer was much better than with Weeden. Next week versus Cincinnati should be a good test of what our Offense is actually capable of.

                      I'd like to see if we can trade future picks and try and not part with our 2nd 1st rounder.

                      Trade up for Bridgewater and draft Roby, Cyril Richardson, or Clinton Dix with our 2nd pick in the 1st that'd be awesome.
