Reciever Situation is on GM Ray Farmer
-
Burleson > Little
Hawkins > Bess
Benjamin> no Benjamin
Austin & Armstrong ... We'll see
Udfa and johnson ... We'll see
I guess everyone wanted us to replace Josh Gordon instantly ... Because there are gobs of 1600 yard receivers out there running around.
Gordon isn't dead. He isn't even injured. He'll be back by 2015 at the latest, with two years on his contract.
The front office would have been foolish to abandon it's game plan to replace a star player for one year.
I wonder what the Manziel fans can tell us about the WRs that Seattle won a SB with?

I would have liked Mike Evans, but am happy with Gilbert. CB was a big need too.
We just missed Brandon Cooks.
Marquis Lee injury red flags.
We needed CB and coverage linebacker. I like who we got, GIbert, Kirksey, Desir.
Bitonio big need on right side of line
Love West, have high hopes for Manziel.
Hopefully we can get WRs in trade or cuts

I don't know how these receivers will pan out, but you can't say Farmer isn't going for the speed. Here's the 40 yd times of all the new guys, plus Benjamin for comparison.
Jones- 4.34Hawkins- 4.34Benjamin- 4.36Armstrong- 4.38Johnson- 4.38Shaw- 4.56Snead- 4.6You realize that Benjamin is only .03 seconds away from being the FIFTH fastest in this group?! -
How about we let the season play out before bitching about draft picks with absolutely no sample size to work with. Hell I could understand bitching in preseason, but now? C'mon now. I hope you started this thread in the hopes of drumming up conversation. Else wise, you probably need to look into a hobby.
God forbid we discuss the team on a message board. That would be stupid.
Every year people bring up legitimate concerns about certain aspects of the team and every year the homers belittle those concerns.
How about the Browns actually win some games before we start believing that every fucking move they make is golden?
Our WR corps is questionable at best and putrid if you look at it realistically. It doesn't help that we are going to have an inexperienced QB throwing them the ball.
I don't agree w/much of what the original poster said, as I would not have drafted a WR in round 1, but quit acting like the WR unit is not a concern. It is a concern and more than likely---it's a problem area.

Where to start.
First off I never said this is the best group of WR the NFL has ever known. I said we don't know what we have and to preemptively freak out about is waste of time and effort, much like criticizing draft picks before they've played a down.
Secondly, please point out where I said every move made is golden. Saying there is no factual evidence or logical reasoning behind preemptively bitching doesn't equate to every move being golden. It means there is no factual evidence or logical reasoning behind preemptively bitching.
Thirdly, I said I hoped the OP created the thread for the sole reason of discussion which I contributed to by giving my opinion in that we should wait to actually see the team play before placing blame for a so far unknown problem. For all we know the leaking of Gordon's suspension before it had become official, along with the circumstances surrounding the violation (potentially Gordon missing the test due to a team organized event,) will result in no suspension. Will the WR's still be the biggest problem since AIDs then?
Relax, it's June for God's sake. Nothing is set in stone.

4 of our draft picks in the HOF? Wow - what a prediction. You should go to Vegas on that one as the odds would be astronomical. I sure hope you are right!

Taco, you are right, I need to relax as it's only June. And yes, I created the thread to be controversial, as I have already stated that Farmer has generally done a fantastic job. But I want the Browns to embarrass the Steelers in the opener so badly that I can scream. When was the last/only time we were 1-0?

I think it came at the expense of the Steelers 51-0
