"Browns won't target a WR in the first round"
-
Are you serious? We better have a good plan for getting a WR. Either 1st round, 2nd round, or a big free agent. I am not going to be happy about a Miles Austin/Taylor Gabriel WR core next year.

I sure hope that guy is wrong.

Our WR corps was more than serviceable this year. It's the QB that is the issue.
Either get a QB or get a true #1. It's time to stop trying to Moneyball the NFL.

Good, the Browns have too many other needs.
A first round wr is a wasted pick.

I agree. On O, receiver is the least important position. I say that because in order for them to max out, every other position has to be playing well. If your QB, O-line, or running game is weak, receivers can be neutralized fairly easily.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Doesn't bother me at all. There's plenty of wide receiver talent to be had in the 2nd round and beyond.
Your leading receiver for the SuperBowl winner was drafted in the 7th round and the SuperBowl runner up was undrafted.
This fad of having flash at the skill positions you think would wear thin by now. If you're solid in the trenches, your skill players automatically become that much better.
Give me DL/OL/LB/ in the 1st depending on BPA then Coates or Devin in the 2nd. Then one more receiver in the later rounds. If the Oline stays healthy along with Crow and West,
the receivers will be the least of our concerns.
-
I agree with qb/OL/DL. Neither Superbowl team had a true #1 receiver.

How much more clear does Farmer have to get on his philosophy when it comes to WRs?
That said, and maybe I am alone here, but not "targeting" a WR does not mean to me that will absolutely not pick one... does not even mean we won't pick one relatively high... which for Farmer would be Day Two.
-
WR is a shiny hood ornament.
Farmer is right to go OL/DL/QB in 1 and 2.
All of the Seahawks WR were undrafted, and the Pats' earliest was a 3rd.

Farmer's belief is that a WR is only only touches the ball 6-8 plays per game. Which is true. Of course, it is nice to have that long ball when you need it.

The QB won't be there though that could make a difference.
But then.....look at the QBs in the game yesterday......a 3rd rounder and a 6th rounder.
and consider: Bart Starr 17th round.
George Blanda: 12th round
Roger Staubach 10th round
John Unitas 9th round
Bob Waterfield 5th round
Van Brocklin/Jurgenson both 4th round
Tarkenton and Montana 3rd round
(but of course, by far the most HOF QBs were taken in round 1)
-
I know he would be expensive and we would have to overpay(relative to Dallas and other more desirable places) to get him, but watching Johnny throw to dez Bryant would be nice.
-
Quarterback and wide receiver duos always had a great supporting cast for all the great nfl teams.
-
Just fail for cardale God damnit get a beast o line and a beast defensive front seven

And don't forget, you're going back some way there, to an era where there was much less scouting, and what scouting there was wasn't as sophisticated - how much 'coaches tape' was readily available in the 60's and 70's, for example? The combine as we know it wasn't around until the mid 80's.

Definitely true. I didn't mean to imply qb is the first on the list. I just lumped those positions together. To me those are top priority in any order.

All that 'sophistication' really paid off in the recent Browns drafts.........
-
DL, OL and ILB depending upon free agency losses and pickups. WR has several decent ones under the radar this year we can get after those first 3 needs are filled IMO.
-
Just for the record the Browns have an all pro number one receiver. The team plays better when he is suspended. Another great reason not to cut him!
