Brian Hartline to visit Browns on Tues

I'm not sure why would need Shorts, especially if we're going to be drafting a wide receiver.
Did you read what quoted, i think i pointed out why you sign Shorts. not all rookie receivers come out Calvin Johnson. Some take time. Shorts would give the Rookie time to transition to the NFL. How many 1st round WR picks are bust cause they dont develope fast enough or ever to the game.
here are the top 10
Sylvester Morris 2000 draft 21st pick KC
Jay Soward 2000 draft 29th pick Jags
David Terrell 2001 draft 8th pick Bears
Freddie Mitchel 2001 draft 25th pick Eagles
Ashlie Lelie 2002 draft 19th pick Broncos
Charlie Johnson 2003 draft 2nd pick Lions
Reggie Williams 2004 draft 9th pick Jags
Troy Wlliamson 2005 draft 7th pick Vikings
Mike Williams 2005 draft 10th pick Lions
Ted Ginn 2007 draft 7th pick Dolphins

Except that Shorts is just a slightly taller, slightly slower version of both Hawkins and Gabriel. He's not a #1 WR, he's not a slot receiver, he is solely a #2, which is what we don't need.
Our roster is full of sub 6'0", shifty receivers. We need a tall red zone threat, not just another undersized, mediocre guy. We need someone to contest 50/50 balls. Right now, the fade is not in our arsenal. We need someone to target in the red zone. Shorts isn't that guy.
I like Shorts, just as I like Garcon. I like all Mt. Union guys. But he's just not needed. His skillset is one that two of our receivers already possess.

Really 6"0.. Lafell is 6:2 Hartline is 6'2 and the rest of the Patriots receivers outside Gronk are barely 6ft. and there are not the fastest receiver group in the NFL either.The top 10 receivers from 2014 season only 4 are over 6ft. Johnson, Bryant, Jones, and Nelson. the rest at 6ft or shorter.
Point is tall reveivers are beginning to not be so improtant. and we need after the catch shifty guys in Cleveland weather.
-
Thats why we need to snag Randall Cobb and draft another somewhere after the 1st round.

I agree, we need Randall Tex Cobb to kick a little ass around here.

We have two after the catch, shifty guys already. Why would we bring in a third? The point isn't that that smaller receivers are becoming more "in-flavor", the point is that smaller receivers are all we have. We need at least one bigger receiver before we need a less talented Andrew Hawkins.
Cecil Shorts can't do anything that the receivers we have can't already do.
Sure, the Patriots have sub- 6'0" receivers. They also have Gronk, who commands a #1 CB in the redzone, leaving mismatches across the field. We don't have that.
Also, you're crazy if you think tall receivers aren't important.

Agreed Cobb would be an excellent pick up but he wil be looking for a SB contender i think. Dont see him being thrilled coming to cleveland were we cant figure out who our Qb will be from one season to the next. And that is the biggest reason we are settleing for these smaller quick rather than fast receivers. and these good route runners who are where they are suppose to be when they are suppose to be there type receivers. Qbs on our roster arent boasting the strongest arms either.
parker is 6-2
White is 6-3
beckum with off field baggage is 6-5
Stong from Ari. is 6-3.
our Big receiver would be our draft pick. my only point to Shorts is he is a veteran who can help the rookie get going.

i mean as a tall guy just winning the jump ball contest i thought he was the best rookie WR taken last year.
i mean i'm no football genius but i ain't blind either.

The pound needs to sing this when he gets a TD if we sign him

Why the comparisons to NE and their WRs? We don't have anyone close to Gronk or anyone close to Brady
-
I'd be cool with Hartline or Shorts. I see no reason to take Ginn though
-
I think he was measured at just over 6'4" at the combine.
yes i think he's the second tallest rated top 10 WR/TE in the draft .

I think the guy is going to fall down on draft boards after his combine. He doesn't want to play TE because he refuses to block and he's not an option as an outside WR.
The only thing he's got going for him is that he can jump. Other than that, speed is poor and hands are inconsistent.

Just about as good as McCown did.
Really? I hope you're being sarcastic. If not you sound stupid.
