Meet Our WR Corp
-
I'm guessing they just keep a close eye on the waiver wire as teams close out their rosters the last week. They show every indication of hanging on to those 1st rounders for their own use, not up for trade without even more good picks as compensation for moving. WR draft does not look as good yet for 2015 as it was in 2014. My bet is they use their highest #1 on that barring unforeseen circumstances.

Ya. Long ways to go. Plus, no more moves will be made until they get the official Gordon suspension... If he IS out for a year, I expect a big trade but not giving up a #1 for anybody...

I tried to find a link that summarized the undrafted wideouts the Browns got this year, this is the best l could find after a grueling 4 minutes of googling. I didn't see this Conner Vernon fellow on there though. I am curious just HOW deep this receiver class is, and hope one or more if these dudes can bust some chops.
I'm picking Willie Sneed.

We signed Conner Vernon week 17 last season. this is his 2nd year... technically
and as I said before, he is the ACC's all-time leader in career receptions and receiving yards

I'm excited about Hawkins as the slot. That's going to be an upgrade because Bess was hideous.
I also love either Austin of Burleson over Little at #2 because he was hideous.
Healthy Benjamin will provide a home run hitter off the bench.
Good prospects among the UDFAs and returning guys.
Now ... any ideas on how to replace the best WR in the league last year in the #1 role?
Maybe he doesn't get suspended and we all live happily ever after.

Enter Charles Johnson
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
I am actually looking forward to seeing this Charles guy play. He went to a small school, but he ran a 4.35 at his pro day. Here's to hoping he will make us forget about flash .
-
This is the guy we picked up late last season, and he ended up having an ACL tear that was found during his physical, correct?
-
Interesting about Hawkins:
• Brian Hoyer had some interesting things to say about new wide receiver Andrew Hawkins. Hoyer compared Hawkins to Wes Welker in the way he runs his routes and finishes them. Hawkins looked very good on the day the practice was open.

Don't get too excited. He hasn't even been cleared to practice yet, he's been off the field for quite a while, and is already missing a lot of reps in a new offense...
As a former 7th round pick, from a small school, who has never played an NFL game... there is no way he is up-to-speed and anywhere near game shape...
I fear he may be another Carlton Mitchell, but I hope he gets into training camp and gets a chance to show what he can do... Maybe he can be our Marques Colston-type...

He may end up being like Gordon in his first season (optimistic, I know)
