Mock Off-Season 2.0
-
I very much doubt we will be THAT active in free agency. I mean, it would be cool and would make a big splash, but it isn't very practical.

Free Agents
RB- T. Gerhart- Downhill runner that should thrive in the zone blocking scheme. Should be bargain if he wins the starting gig.
FB- L. McClain- Older but one of the better lead blockers in the game. Is still a solid receiver and short yardage back.
WR- D. Sanenbacher- Quick with solid hands. He may not be a mismatch but hopefully he can be what Bess was supposed to be.
TE- A. Quarless- Had character issues, but has the talent to be a starter for most teams.
RG- G. Schwartz- Pairing up the brothers could put an end to the issues we have on the right side of the OLine.
ILB- D. Bishop and J. McClain- Both are injury risks, but should come in cheap. Versatile and experienced in the 3-4.
CB- V. Davis- One of the more under-rated CBs in the game. He will be very important in the near future if Haden decides to test FA.
FS- J. Byrd- The price is a bit too much for me, but we really need a ball hawk.

i could live with this draft even though i don't know anything about fuller or matthews and i watched the combine all day long so they weren't stand outs. i agree that i doubt we do that much in FA. sanzenbacher makes sense as a slot receiver but i'm still saying we need a TALL sure-handed guy for jump balls and corner routes. but i see you've addressed (IMO) the major concern areas in the draft. i guess if they WERE to take a QB @ 4 bridgewater would be the one i'd be most comfortable with. still don't like it though, especially if mack is there. love storm johnson.

Anyone but Johnny

hey it's texas A and M's pro day today.
let's see what the kid can do. watch evans save his ass all day.
if anyone doubts evans makes the most sense for the browns at WR hopefully there minds will be changed today.
hell johnny might change some minds as well, including mine. i think it will be all over espn in highlight format but i believe nfl network will switch live between schools.

Not gonna lie, I don't spend much time on here, but I did not know that many people were so opposed to drafting Manziel. I am a big fan of Hoyer, but there's no way in hell I go into next season banking on him being a franchise guy that could lead the team to the playoffs. With Manziel, he would bring a new kind of attitude that the Browns haven't seen at QB in a real long time. He would not settle for losing and would bring a whole new kind of leadership to this team. I would love to see his fire in a offense that should suit him well. So those that opposed my selection in this mock, I'm guessing you either believe Bridgewater, Bortles, or Hoyer is the answer??
And as for the trade, was the problem that it was with the Ravens or just a bad trade in general?? If it's the fact we're trading with our archival, I understand that. It just seemed like too perfect of a scenario to pass up considering Mosley is the top player at arguably our biggest hole and the Ravens will likely look to trade down.

Yes Phillip Gaines, Louisville has a cb named Charles Gaines so I probably just typed the wrong name. Gaines has good size and great speed so he is a very good late round pick with high potential. With a good pro day he may go 2nd or 3rd. Admittedly I haven't done too much homework on him, but the physical potential is definitely there.

You were doing so well until I saw "Trade!"
And with the Ravens? C'mon.
And then picking Manziel at #4 and making him the starter ... you have a lot of confidence in that guy ... more than Farmer, Pettine or most reasonable NFL minds I would say.

Mike, I proudly wear the colors anywhere I go- and no one, and I mean no one I've talked to that's on the high side of 40 wants anything to do with Johnny Football.
It's damn universal- us geezers all want Watkins. He impacts the D as much as Football- and unless you have Wee-don't tossing the rock-between Sammy, Gordon and Cameron- someone is going to be open.
-
Still not sold on Manziel. At all. I'd say, the Browns won't draft him. At least not in the first round, eh?
But making that trade? You have one of the deepest drafts in positions of need for the Browns,
and you trade a third?
The ratbirds won't drop that far, anyways....
I see Watkins or a trade down to maybe 8 with the Vikings and taking Mosely early.
but those two thirds are gold in this draft.
-
I think Ward will sign with another team. So we are going to have way to many holes to fill on D not to address it late 1st round.
-
or early first round.
