The Wide Receivers
-
Browns won't draft Sammy Watkins because he'd go in our QB slot. It just won't happen. This brass won't put the cart ahead of the horse like the last one did.
I could see Bortles and Marquise Lee, someone like that. We're not looking for an "all star" receiver (we have our top two in Gordon and Cameron). We're looking for a better third option than we have right now. And 2nd round (or third) is where you get that guy.
Kenny Stills, New Orleans, was a 5th rounder and he's playing really well. Then again, good quarterbacks make their GMs look like geniuses drafting WRs. Stills would NOT be doing that for the Browns.
We can't sign a serious f/a receiver until our QB situation is settled and a pretty damn high level. We have to draft them.
I want a quarterback as well, of course. The thing is that it's December. The draft landscape will totally change in the next few months. What if the browns don't like any of the qbs available with 1a? Does Lombardi throw his back out on a weeden-esque reach? Do they go BPA? Do they trade up? I certainly don't know what they will or should do. I just don't like the "WE MUST DRAFT POSITION X WITH PICK Y" mentality. Most people expect Hoyer to start next season anyway, we can afford to let the draft come to us...
we can afford to let the draft come to us...
you mean to lombardi and banner of course.
i doubt 'us' will make the same picks as 'us' would want or they could do it right.
my money is on black.

Ah Sheppie, go look at the standings- right now we draft sixth or so, and of the teams ahead of us- four out of the five will likely be in the qb market. So the Browns will have to get extremely lucky, or give up the Ranch to move up. That's worked out extremely well for the Deaskins giving up three firsts and a second to land RG III and a three win season. The Rams thank them profusely for the top five pick.
Not only that- there isn't a Luck, or even an RG III in this draft by all accounts. (Except by the rose colored qb fanatics). I'd rather take McCarron (or someone similar) at 1b than throw away multiple picks on the third best available qb.

This is the yr to move back.
This is the one thing you said that makes sense IMO.
Everything else is complaining that Edwin baker isn't a pro bowler.

You don't go fishing with the #4-6 overall... you don't "take a chance" at that level.
I do not understand folks saying a WR of Watkins stature would not help our QB. How many times have the words "we have WRs that cannot separate" been posted here this season?
Put Sammy with Gordo and let the separatin' begin...

he's probably already been told he won't be coming back.
-
Well, you get the picture. Could this be why he has been inactive?
-
This is in like three different threads already.

And it happened like a week ago. He's inactive because he's on the non football injury list.
