Doerschuk: Browns will avoid Clowney.
-
According to his Twitter page even if their QB is gone the Browns will avoid Clowney.
I myself am all for Manziel but this pre draft rumor stuff is such BS. The combine and private workouts haven't even happened not to mention the pro days. What if Clowney blows it up in the workouts and looks like a real freak and falls to us.
How the hell can a team be so dead set 3 months before the draft?
I can't stand the Cleveland media and all their bogus rumor reporting.

Take away the hit against Michigan and I see a mid 1st round prospect.
He's got the talent but seems selective on when to use it.
He's like Albert Hanesworth 2.0 according to Steve Spurrior. His own damn coach threw him under the bus.
I am confused... Which is it?
- Clowney is being judged too early; or
- Clowney is overrated?
I fear the troll is strong in this one...

1. Clowney won't be available
2. None of you dicks have the balls to support a trade up
3. Therefore, This thread is moot cow poo
Wow... still on the rag as bad as ever. I thought in a week you'd have cooled down some.

Virtually no team selects every draft pick that makes their roster. Saftey in numbers.No winning team selects 4 HOFers in one draft either, right?
The 1974 Steelers did....and though they had not won a SB yet, they had been making the playoffs. Recall the Immaculate Reception I believe was 1972...or 73...prior to their draft of Lambert/Webster/Swann etc.

Lol. Didn't I see somewhere that Mike H writes professionally?
I think he used to be scout and personal assistant to Mike Ditka and helped him put together the Ricky Williams trade.

No, actually Mike H served as Ditkas "gum caddy". He would pre-chew Ditkas gum for him.

I thought Mike H. was the young assistant janitor to the office
of an NFL scout,
who knew Mike Junkin, aka "mad dog in a meat market", was
the best player in the NFL draft ever, and knew that
everybody who didn't agree with him didn't know anything.

We'd better not take Clowney. We don't need a DE.
We need a QB at the 4.

I have a full time job that pays extremely well, I get paid to write on the side.
My scouting training is basic, I took a course awhile ago. I'd say that instantly makes me more qualified than you, so yuck it up.
Yeah? So what? I took a course in Russian a few years back- that doesn't mean I can speak it worth a damn.

i wouldn't advocate trading up into that mix of the 3 spots in front of us for any player. even clowney.
but i do agree with MikeH that some of those picks will be traded, i mean the later round stuff means nothing unless you are lucky enough to find the next brady or terrelle davis. i could see us trading up in some of these rounds. it is a game of chess, right? sacrifice some pawns.
i'm really hoping that if farmer is thinking QB @4 the guy i hope lands there is bortles. if not clowney. not all that in love with watkins unless he is just one of two WRs we are targeting. we need a tall guy that can win those jump ball throws down the line and in the corner of the end zone.

we have a guy like that named Gordon. We need a slot type of guy. Someone who can get open quick. And we need another TE.i wouldn't advocate trading up into that mix of the 3 spots in front of us for any player. even clowney.

Having two is nice though. Look at the Bears offense that torched small backfields all season.
I'd say we could use another TE. But it's not a high priority. I think Barnridge can be decent.

Actually those are good examples, albeit exceptions to the rule. First of all first round quarterbacks are probably the riskiest position to draft. Mainly because the team is desperate and expect them to turn everything around. Of course Trent Richardson was a bad pic from the start but became meaningless since someone was foolish enough to give us another first round selection for him.@mike-h said:
T Rich and Weeden.

Sure Mike there will be some trading of draft picks.
If the front office, who may even know as much about football as you do, makes the decision to trade up and we go to a Superbowl then think of the fun you will have gloating about it. Possibly ray farmer took a similar course.
I would personally expect to see hey great deal of improvement in the coming season if for no other reason than I believe that the team substantially underperformed last year. Yes I know I've felt that way before.
PS I have no real gripe without making a trade here or there in order to get top notch players. Just not career journeymen or busts.
And while I am not doubting your credentials as a sports writer I have heard plenty of others who do that on a fairly high level who disagree with you. I suppose that's why people bet on sports.

one WR?
everyone on here has piled on little saying he can't catch the ball. so wouldn't there be a need for a #2 who lines up outside?
evans and gordon would hit you like a double barrel.

Hell everyone wants two pro bowl caliber wr's. Its just what we have to use to obtain em. I believe we'll get a FA and draft a guy. Dont sleep on Charles Johnson either, guy will make some noise in camp, and we have Benji comin back.one WR?
