    As you can see... in my opinion, the only position the Browns really need to upgrade their starting player is at QB.

    I see 6 other spots where improvement is warranted, but I don't see major weaknesses in this team's top 46. It's the depth that I still have concerns about, but I trust Farmer will do well in rounds 5-7 and utilizing UDFA to provide competition in the back end of the roster...

    Damn, You must have The NEW Oranger Glasses.. We all see QB yes. But come on. When our last winning season?? Far To much Black and Blue Talent gets us beat on Sundays. Farmer got B- on last year overall. Let's hang a A in 2015 and I will buy The New Oranger Glasses also..

    If this were the final roster, you'll probably see Telfer and Ifu on the injured list....and some names from last year and a few"up and comers" would be gone, like Draughn, Winston, Bademosi, Nelson, Painter, Seymour, Moore & Carder

  • As us Browns fans would love to see more TD's and Less of our FG Kickers, Let's get familiar with Hartley was so Below Average we cut him and were down to guys Named Travis Coons or Carey Spear.. God I miss Dawson again already..

    I think Desmond Bryant still starts at DE ... whatever the final DL arrangement, it looks like a bad-ass defense.

    I really like Bryant and think he will start at DE as well. If the D stays healthy they can look like did against the Colts every game

  • Correct me if l'm wrong on this, but wasn't Dray considered a mostly blocking TE, who happened to catch a high percentage of passes, albeit few, thrown his way when we signed him?

    I think that guy is poised to be a breakout pass catcher this year. Poised dammit!

    And l like Greco too. Even more than Grieco. 21 Jump Street yo.

  • Special teams:


    K - Coons


    P - Lanning


    LS - Hughlett




    I imagine we will bring in a real kicker.



    Is Hughlett expected to beat out Christina Yount? I remember Yount slumped last year, but rebounded.

    Maybe for PS, but feel these guys would cover all the bases game to game(46 man roster).....plus, Im using exactly the same # we carried last year.....so they would almost have to feel we are weaker at OL than last year to add an extra one.....(right?)

    Sure looks bad ass on paper(which is what we said last year too).....Farmer says he wants "waves" of DL coming and going....though Im not a huge D. Bryant fan, but only time will tell there.....he is definitely our healthiest DL player tho

    Dont know here.....Im just guessing based upon who we have.....

    I do know Yount struggled and Hughlett came in with some high praise....so, just "hoping" we upgrade there, just like any other position.....

    Same with the kicker......we might already have a "real" kicker in camp, but we just dont know it yet....or maybe not.....

    Where do kickers come from anyway?????

  • One thing is for sure, looking at our depth, it's easily the deepest the team has been since the early 90s. Nothing has come close since to the depth we have this year

    The last two good ones we had were nobodies kicking around looking for a job.

    I think we stole Stover from the Giants practice squad and Phil Dawson from Patriots practice squad.

    Hopefully we get lucky again.

    duh, really? i know i didn't show all the depth but i showed the important stuff like RB and WRs.......that's all. so in any given play one or two or three of the offensive weapon positions will be on the field or not.

    Hawkins is faster so he would be better in slot. Hartline is used to being #2 wideout..
