Grade the following WR scenario
-
Not a bad list, but carry 8 active WRs into the season? Strikes me as about zero chance of that.
Last year we had all of five WRs catch passes (Gordon, Benji, Hawk, Gabe and Miles) and another throw in kick returns (Moore). I think there were 2 more on the PS (Smith and Bates???). I think Smith was activated late after Miles went on IR.

Heading into pre-season, what grade would you give the following (realistic) scenario for the Brown WR group (no order in the list provided):
Benjamin
Gabriel
Hawkins
Miles Austin
Cecil Shorts
Ted Gin Jr.
Brian Hartline
Devonte Parker ( or your realistic draft choice of preference)
I think it's doable, affordable, serviceable and while not intimidating, it's a quality group of players.

Not a bad looking group.....tho not sure well actually carry 8 wr's......personally, Id pass on the "new guys", except maybe tap Shorts to replace Benji.....then Id wish for something more like a starter FA and a 3rd or 4th round draft pick like smith/Dorestt/Perriman/Hardy/etc...

C+
No one on that list is getting significant time on any playoff team.
-
I don't know squat compared to many here & especially the experts, but I DO hope we bring some height in to WR.
I will say that I want NOTHING to do with Green-Beckham.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
4 free agents and a 1st round pick...? Highly doubtful.
I'd take Shorts, Austin or Hartline, and a pick. That would be plenty

Did you see the WRs on Sea and NE? Not exactly all-pro material...

That's why I said "heading into pre-season"

Hawkins had the best numbers on the team and they were worse than all but Kearse who is at least a tall WR that requires coverage.
Benjamin - too weak
Gabriel - too small
Hawkins - good slot/possession WR
Miles Austin - old and slow
Cecil Shorts - injury prone/possession WR
Ted Ginn Jr. - never really been effective for an entire system
Brian Hartline - possession WR no real threat
At best all these guys are 3rd down/possession WRs not one has the ability to stretch the field
-
Demarius Thomas
Dez Bryant
Randall Cobb
Cecil Shorts
Brian Hartline
Ted Ginn Jr.
Not saying that teams are going to let the first group go but they are the type of WR the Browns need.

Fantasy - yes, Realistic? - I don't think so!

OSU homerism aside, I am not sure why people want Tedd Ginn....

We saw Gabriel and Benjamin go deep a couple of times last year. I see Hawkins and Gabriel in the slot, Shorts and Hartline as starters. Ginni and Benjamin in back-up & return roles, and Austin as 3rd down/possession. Austin has another year left in him.

A couple of times, yes. Most teams have at least one guy who can move the needle on any given down, that guy was Josh Gordon for the Browns. They need to try to replace that threat. You can do it in the draft by drafting a WR at 12 or 19. The other guys are what they are.
