Nate Burleson SIGNED
-
i like the veteran leadership angle but not at the cost of upgrading in the draft. i mean how deep does a team's WR corp have to be?

One of Pettines mantras is that you must overpopulate as many positions as possible in order to create competition and make the 1st string players feel like someone is breathing down their necks waiting for their opportunity. So Burleson has little impact on the draft.

63% completion rate, 17 catches, 166 yd, 0 TD, 1 drop.
The one drop is generous, he dropped two in one game that PFF isn't counting.
Real world beater right there.
I agree some fans overvalue him because of a couple good catches.
We haven't seen enough of him really, and we probably won't assuming we draft a guy behind Gordon, Hawkins, Draftee, Benjamin, Little.
-
What the hell happened to Miles Austin. That would be a GREAT signing.
-
I say yes. He's solid and he'd really just be here for veteran leadership. He'd be like Davone Bess, just without the crazy.

When was he ever used as a red zone receiver? Like, never. And surest handed receivers are going to have a drop once in a while. As for completion rate.....look who he has had for a QB.
Name me any receiver on this team that has surer hands.
He just has not been used much...as someone said.
-
The guy that taunted Cleveland by doing the Lebron chalk thing? Fuck him and that midget Maurice Jones Drew.
-
His big brother was a major flop in the NBA.
Wouldn't expect much from junior
I will take a pass
Next Please!!!

It shows how shitty our receivers have been when the fans are excited for the likes of Josh Cooper.
Guy is, at the best, a fifth WR.
-
well if you're excited about burrelson or cooper, then there's something wrong with you.
-
he was Bess' running dawg until he (Bess) was committed to the loony bin

-
Once again, depth and veteran signing. We are still going to grab a WR between rounds 1-3. This doesn't mean anything.
-
Signed 1 year deal.
-
1 yr deal
More depth for WR
May not take Watkins now with 4
Overhauling receivers at this point.but hes proven at least
-
I like it. Prefer him over Little.
-
He'll hopefully do what Bess was SUPPOSED to do.
-
yawn.
put the pen down farmer.

I don't agree and love what this group is doing. They looked at our crop of WR's and said "Crap! We've got only one worth a damn, let's keep Josh, move Little to a back-up WR, forget/cut the rest, pick up a new slot receiver and another back-up WR in FA, and draft our starting WR#2. This FO wants to make sure we have a solid, competitive team while still building for the future. If Watkins is there at 4, we will have changed the second weakest part of the team into a real strength. And it wouldn't surprise me if they drafted two WR's in May. Go Browns!
