Would you take Dorial Green-Beckham in the 2nd round?
-
No flippin way. The Browns are looking at character.
I can see Strong, though.
I really want Tre McBride, wr in a later round, and a quick pass catching
TE.

6'6" 230 pound WR with Velcro hands and superstar potential? And you say NO? Because 2 years ago he smoked some weed as a young college kid? really? I think that he's learned from his mistakes and what better way to let Gordon's missteps serve a purpose than to be an excellent example of what happens if you don't take care of your personal business? I say to trade up early in the second to swipe this monster. Then find a way to get Perryman or Williams and a FB and you can call it a draft.

He smoked his way out of two schools. That is exactly who the Browns need. A guy who is too fucking stupid to put down the joint. Why take him when we already have Gordon to fill that role?
-
We are in no position to take the risk on this guy. He has so much in common with Gordon. He has a history of being kicked out of schools, using marijuana, bad attitude, and low effort on the practice field... He has all the talent in the world, and somebody will get to see it... until he dive bombs just like JG did...
No thanks... maybe in the 7th...
-
NO!
-
No thanks
-
Fourth round pick from BUF if he's there
-
DGB would be nice to have and with Bowe, Hartline, HAWK, Gabriel and Benjamin there wouldn't be an immediate need to start off as the number 1 but to develop into that over time. And when Gordon comes back next year to line up opposite DGB it would be downright scary. It all depends on the evaluation that Farmer has done on him, whether or not he believes that the past is in the past.
-
I understand that his resume is nearly identical to that of Josh Gordon. Kicked out of one school for dope. Transferred to another but didn't play there because of positive tests.
I don't think the Browns FO wants to see the movie "Up in Smoke, Part Deux"
-
I think the question shouldn't be whether you take him in the 2nd, but would you take him if he was there in the 3rd round.
-
In the 3rd? Still a no here...
Maybe Day 3...

I would take him in the third. Being risk averse and drafting for character is a solid plan that I agree with. However, at some point, the reward far outweighs the risk. A top ten talent in the third is where I think the scales tip in DGB's favor.
If he flames out and never plays a single down in the NFL, it's not a huge whiff. If he even achieves half of his potential, he's a legitimate #2 receiver. And if he straightens out and becomes what he could be....that's the steal of a century.

Not in the NFL. Doesn't matter if it's legal in the state.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
I would most definitely take him in the third round.
But I'm also the guy who's down to take a chance on Randy Gregory in the 2nd round.

All true, but what gives me the additional pause is a work ethic question.
Would he ever "Play like a Brown"? Full effort, every play for an entire game? Or would he be an "I play when I wanna play" kinda guy?
