  • Not a case of who we want....we will have to let the other teams pick who they want first then we pick from the leftovers .....which WR would want to play for a dysfunctional organization like The Browns ........can you imagine Dez Bryant saying yes to Cleveland........ let the other teams make their picks first then we can grab from the dregs

    Shorts should be an easy pick up for us. Maclin will get overpaid as will Torrey Smith. Crabtree at the right price might be good with a change of scenery. Heyward-Bey for a number 4 might be ok as well. We are going to have to draft the number 1 or trade for him.

  • .. or not have a true #1.

    What has been said that gives any indication Farmer values WRs high enough to spend a 1?

    What about last season indicated that a #1 was important to our offense?

    Step 1: Resign Austin

    Step 2: Sign Shorts

    Step 3: see what value falls to us in the draft.

  • I like Justin Hardy from ECU, he's the NCAA all time leader in receptions and he lit up the Senior Bowl.

    Cobb would be a nice addition to any team. GB has had a decent history of resigning the guys they really want. See Jordy Nelson last year.

    The Packers also appear to have a culture where distractions are not tolerated and players tend to conform to expectations of a professional athlete.

    They are also used to cold weather football.

    If available, I like the Browns to get him. If this happens, however, it doesn't mean that WR stops being a priority. Still a priority but not so much of an emergency.

    This scenario works for me.

  • Cobb

    and then draft someone

  • green-beckham

  • we're not drafting high enough this year to take Amari or any other receiver worthy of a 1st round pick. Gotta get one of these FA wr's. Crabtree would be "awesome" as would Thomas. Thomas though I would see being non committal till he knows who's gonna throw to him. He's been in a Manning run offense now so he's going to have high expectations. Crabtree will just come for the money. I don't think we go WR in the 1st round this year, last year yeah we should have...this year though too many other needs opened up.

  • I would like to see Devante Parker in a Browns jersey

  • I would be good with shorts and-or crabtree. both are in our price range and would fit in well.

  • I would love to have Paul Warfield back in his prime.. He was simply the best at his position besides Jerry Rice... I'm to the point I'm getting sick of the Browns.. This shit needs to stop.

  • Kevin White WVA. Phillip Dorsett Miami,Vince Mayle Wash.St.,Antawn Goodley Baylor and one of these would work. The receivers in this draft seems to be pretty deep.Resign Miles Austin.

  • Lockett from KSt will be the wr steal in this draft. Watch how he comes along with whomever gets him. I hope it's us around Rd 3-4. He was the heart of that team this year.

  • We need to get a decent FA pickup and not dig through the bargain bin like last year.

    I agree with you there. He seems to be one of those guys who everyone says "does everything well but nothing great" arguments.

    Torrey Smith fills three needs: a decent WR, a decent returner....and it weakens Baltimore

    Draft options: Amari Cooper, Devante Parker, Kevin White, Sammy Coates, Justin Hardy, Jaelen Strong, Devin Smith, Ty Montgomery, Nelson Algalor, Rashad Greene...

    Cooper won't be an option. He will be gone. Any one of the others could be possibles in the first couple of rounds.

    Who do you want?

  • as a wvu fan I say kevin white he hasn't gotten into trouble and improved a lot this yr

  • T. Smith and R. Cobb.

    Smith with the deep routes and Cobb with all the underneath stuff.

    Ya, that would be hot.

    Now, all we need is a QB.
