Which WR Are We Waiting For?
-
Brandom coleman 6'6 225
Big strong receiver
Great measureables but has inconsistant hands.
Projected 3-4
With his physical measurements and assuming he improves his game he could be a very good receiver for us at 4
not as athletic as his size would indicateJared Abbrederis 6'1 195
Average size and mediocre to below average athletic ability
Excellent Intelligence and Football IQ
Great Hands and the best route runner of the draft
projected 4-5
Jeff Janis 6'3 219
Good sizeGREAT Athletic ability top performer in nearly all combine categories
8th fastest 40,6th most bench press,3rd on the cones,6th on shuttle,13th on vert jump and broad jump,
Lacks experience against top talent, plays conservatively
projected 3-4
After looking at the prospects that are left this is most likely "homerun" players i could find.
Janis worries me alot. Athletically he's the obvious choice with alot of high potential. But what I'm reading and seeing he seems to lack heart and unless he can find it or it can be brought out we would just be wasting a pick on him. looks like a mental wall to me...if it can be be torn down by the coaches or the team leaders he could be our number 2 receiver pretty simple stuff.
Coleman has the attributes of a number 1 receiver but lacks the football skills and knowledge
Abbrederis has the brains and knowledge to play the position of number 2 wideout but his attributes say slot receiver of which we have many.
I think the safest pick for us would be Abbrederis
The highest risk highest reward would be janis
Coleman could develop into a monster....but there is just not much other than size going for him.
My pick in the 4th would be Abbrederis He could EASILY replace at least greg little...
But i would be happy with either of these 3 even if we had to move up a little to get them. -
Unless a WR they have gradded rather high falls to them, I want to see them attempt to move that pick and grab up at least 1 more later round selection (no trading for next year however, as in Trade a 4th rounder for a 3rd in 2015). I know the compensation won't be alot, but maybe a team with alot of comp. picks would be will to part with a 6th to get a guy they are in love with, or at least multiple 7th rounds for this year and next.

We are bringing back the heavy run game not like the rest of the league with their passing nonsense.

I'm thinking... based on the amount of $$ they gave him combined with the draft so far, Farmer might have seen Hawkins as our WR2 all along instead of seeing him as a slot guy like we all assumed. If that's the case, then not drafting one early makes tons of sense.
Problem is... now there's a chance Hawkins is forced into our #1 WR spot.
Leaving the Gordon situation to the side, this draft has been awesome IMHO. We got 3 immediate starters, at CB2, RG, ILB. We also got a much-needed QB, and a solid backup RB. Plus, an extra 1st next year... I still see us taking a WR, or even 2, but I also think there are some developmental guys left at LB and S that we could be targeting. Only 2 picks left, so I'm thinking WR and OLB.

Your #2 WR is a lot of cases in your slot guy. Honestly we can't speculate on anything now with our WR group. Burlson will be ready to play during the season, but will he stay healthy. Little is going to get his one and last chance, maybe the kicks him in the ass and he produces (I have a better chance of waking up with a dick sewn to my forhead). But we still have a lot of time to sign guys.

The Jared Abbrederis guy, he's the one that cooked Roby all game right? He's probably another one with the "Athleticism" that falls in the draft. What happened to our pick at the top of the fourth? did that get traded away for the Division 3 RB....?
-
Jared Abbrederis will probably be there at their next pick. But Ellington and Bryant probably wont............ How long does it take the NFL to decide on something like this (the failed drug test)? Bryant is a steal at this point. Just being as tall and as fast as he is. If nothing else, he stretches the field so teams can load the box.

Honestly do you guys think Haslem would let Gordon go on sportscenter this morning/afternoon knowing he was facing a year suspension?
I don't. That's just bad business.

This is my thought process. I can't believe that the FO has known about this but have been letting Gordon do interviews for ESPN.
Also I don't think Jared Abbrederis goes before the 7th and is likeling going to be a UDFA. He has a HUGE ammount of concussions, and while I think he can produce right away on a team, similar to what Baldwin did for the Seahawks, there is a good chance he doesn't play longer than 2-3 seasons because of health concerns.

Probably need to steer clear or him then....... Again, there's 2 receivers left that would have been great picks in the late 2nd round. Hopefully one falls.

Currently listed on the Browns roster we have :
Benjamin, Travis
Burleson, Nate
Cooper, Josh
Gurley, Tori
Hawkins, Andrew
Johnson, Charles
Little, Greg
Vernon, Conner
Gordon, JoshWe still have a few picks in the Draft, then there will be UDFA's, and as posted in another thread, Farmer said this after yesterday's Draft :
“At the time we made our selections we took the best player available for what we wanted to do,” Farmer said. “We stuck with our board and took the name that was best for us at that time.
“I’m not concerned with the depth at wide receiver because we play games in September. There’s still plenty of opportunity for us to acquire players, whether it’s (through) trades, draft someone, whether it’s players who are cut. There’s always opportunities to acquire players.”
Would I like us to take a more "premier" type player?
Sure, but right now it looks like we're filling bigger needs . . . and we will be adding to the roster.

I really think Charles Johnson may be turning some heads.
This from a story last year:
The Browns will retain Johnson's rights for four years. At 6-2, 215, he's got size and speed. He dazzled scouts on his Pro Day last year by clocking a 4.38 in the 40-yard dash.
That is outstanding size and speed, let's hope we uncovered a gem.
