Which WR Are We Waiting For?

  • I really think Charles Johnson may be turning some heads.

  • 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, Josh

    We 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.

    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.

    Who is this guy? Specs look good. Im interested in hearing more.

  • Hes the guy we signed off the Packers practice squad, only to discover he had an acl.

  • Hmmmm, I don't remember that for some reason?

  • I have to believe that the Browns have a trick up their sleeve about a wide reciever especially knowing about the failed drug test prior to the draft. I also believe that Manziel will raise the confidence of the receivers and TE's.

  • Hmmmm, I don't remember that for some reason?

    I remember it happening, and we put the guy on IR . . . I just couldn't remember his name.

    Kevin
  • Gurley Man is another prospect that we were able to keep on the roster. Both of those guys could be contributors with a second camp behind them. New system, so everybody is on the same page.

    Wheeew, I was worried about wide right

    Got my wires crossed, Kevin Norwood out of Alabama had a workout for us pre Draft.

    Was thinking it was the Norwood we had a couple years ago.

    Now I remember this guy. He suposidle had some crazy 20 yard shuttle which was the best anyone ever recorded or something like that to go along with other fantastic athletic measurables. I now remember being pissed when he signed with Greenbay as a udfa.

    EDIT drafted 7th round

    All the promise in the world, will be availible at the start of training camp, will be farther along in rehab and recovery than Benjamin.
