Would you rather have an elite TE or elite WR?

  • I just think we might be going after both in this draft. Thoughts?

    Would you rather have a Gates/Gronk/Witten or a Green/Megatron/Fitzgerald?

  • That's a tough one, bexcuse I think a lot of teams can be successful without an elite WR, as long as they have a good QB to get them the ball, like the Patriots for example, they have an above average wide receiving corps, but nothing spectacular, they had Tom Brady giving them the ball. A good QB can make any WR look good. So I think I'd rather have an elite TE who is an exceptional blocker and who can go up and make a play when needed

  • If the Browns could draft Maxx Williams and address WR still I'd think it be great but I don't want to ignore the defensive front 7 either

    If we drafted Maxx Williams I would be estatic. He's the only elite TE in this years draft
  • Wide Receiver. I'd rather have Calvin Johnson than Gronk

    His leaping ability and athleticism is freakish. He reminds me of a less strong but more athletic Gronk.

    I'd have NO PROBLEM taking him at #19 and addressing WR in the 2nd or 3rd.

    Jesus Christ that hurdle. Yeah I'd love to see us go after him. DT with the 12th pick, Maxx with the 19th. Take a WR in the 2nd or 3rd round, this years WR class is deep, it's not necessary for us to draft one in the 1st round.
  • Easy.

    Think Josh Gordon (with his head straight) versus Jordan Cameron . . . who would you rather have?

  • Drew Bree's is probably crying in his beer right now that Graham's been traded. It would be nice to have a Kevin White and a big tight end. If Cameron stays healthy he's one of the best. He proved it when Weeden, Hoyer and Campbell threw to him. I also think Devon Smith is a good receiver in this year's draft if all the others are taken. The Browns could go defense and wide receiver.

    If the Saints are currently in total reset mode (which due to Cap/Performance they may well be) , who's to say that even he's not in play to be traded?

    Might be worth a look at my thoughts on another thread about Brees & Browns .

  • We need a replacement for johnny rehab. Dont care who can catch it if we cant throw it.

    Been hearing recently that a lot of talent evaluators are thinking JFF has huge upside in the NFL . . . their biggest concern has been his partying antics, which God willing may be being addressed

    Sounding a lot like McCown starts the Season, JFF takes over some time and then . . . well, I guess we'll see.

    First view JFF looked bad . . . maybe ReHab will change things . . . guy's supposed to have talent, guess we'll soon see.

    We are adding a lot of QB's this Off-Season.

    ,

  • i think the new hybrid like a graham or evans would fill both needs (except maybe on the blocking end).

  • We could probably wait later than #19 to take Maxx.

    i'm surprised you're not touting funchess...besides a true TE like maxx williams, funchess kinda falls into that hybrid mode with his size.

    Yeah, but we'd probably have to trade up, and I don't like the idea of that. We don't need to give up any picks, we need as many picks as possible
  • I don't want either.

    WR are shiny hood ornaments.

    The only 2 teams to reach the Super Bowl played 8 WR's. All but 1 were undrafted. The teams that reached the Super Bowl spent their picks on OL and DL.

    As for the TE's: Gronk was a 2nd, Hoomanawanui was a 5th, Willson was a 5th, Moeaki was a 3rd.

  • I would be happy with Webster Slaughter and Brian Kitchen

    You dont build a team drafting WR in the first round.

    At least a couple mock drafts had him playing that hybrid role here. Ironically his upside was energetic play and the downside questionable dedication.

    And the fact that he might not want to block.
