The Browns Board

  • The one position the Browns failed to address was wide receiver, but there is still no doubting that there is reason for optimism in Cleveland following the 2015 NFL Draft.

    Except, of course, they didn't "fail to address WR". They got Mayle in round 4. What do they think he is, a potted plant?

    I suspect they think he's a 4th rounder, someone who will take a little time to settle in, needs some work and is not an immediate starter or upgrade on our presumed starters.

  • Erving will start at RT next season. If he stayed at his original position he would of been a top 8-10 pick. He did what his team asked him to do and move to center. One guy I love having on this team. Meanwhile Shelton is missing OTA's to wait for it...finish his degree.

    AWESOME.

    ... or had he stayed at LT he might have been a second round pick.

    Cam may well end up starting somewhere, but when has a team ever asked a stud LT to move to Center? Or any interior O-line slot for that matter? Simply defies logic...

    Not sure what was meant with the Shelton comment, so I'll choose to take it as a character complement.

    IIRC, FSU had a highly-recruited tackle that was set to take over the spot this year when Erving graduated. When the injuries happened, they tried both out at C. Erving had less of a problem transitioning to the spot in practice, hence the move.

    Basically it became a situation of "be above average at two positions or be very good in one and very bad in another". It turned out that Erving actually played better at C, when it was all said and done.

    Ironically, it's the same situation we had last year with Greco, when Mack went down.....move Greco over and have 2 guys playing below standard....or keep Greco at guard and have one guy playing way below standard.....

    too bad we didn't have an Erving then....but, of course, now we do.....🙂

  • I watched "Inside the Cleveland Browns" on TV - they talked about, and interviewed

    every draft pick.

    Every single guy they drafted is inspiring in a huge way. Every one of them

    has an outstanding, kickass attitude, delighted to be with the Browns, studied and/or

    knew Browns players already, have a hunger to win and excel - are very smart on and

    off the field, they even speak intelligently - good characters, great teammates....

    Seems like the impact on the Browns will be dramatic.

  • Anybody smell a trade of Schwartz now that Erving and Bowie our in the mix??

    No....why weaken ourselves just as we strengthened ourselves. That would be foolhardy.

  • Not if Schwartz becomes a distraction for playing time in his Career that's left?? Agree with Depth..

  • I dont see him getting traded either....its all about depth....that was the whole point of drafting OL ......

    Plus, Schwartz is a UFA at the end of the season, so not worth much unsigned.....it'll be interesting to see if he signs an extension or tests the market....

    But, with the prospect of Mack having the option to leave, we need to keep all the OL we can ....
