    his coaches at Michigan State warned NFL scouts that he was not mentally stable enough to play in the NFL.

    Now, would NFL scouts ignore such a warning in this day and age? I doubt it.

    "after his stock rose with his pre-draft workouts" was all I need to read.......... Gotta love the combine, where supposedly smart football people suddenly become really dumb.

  • Z & Larry, I sure hope you guys are right. My gut tells me you are, but I won't rest easy until it's a done deal.

    Justin Gilbert comes to mind, but word has it that nobody from the Browns even spoke to Gilbert until after he was drafted.
  • They are not keeping him around. They are fighting over who gets to hit "send" on his release to the NFL.

    Followed by Dwayne Blowe, and Bustin' Gilbert.

    I don't see them cutting Gilbert. New staff will want to get their hooks into that athleticism.

    Essentially, it is a bastardized version of basketball.....though to me the sport seems unnecessary....as what they should do is to just play real basketball.

    Since there were 30 rounds back in the 50's I'd say TC cuts are a safe bet...

    Yessir. But we are talking specifically 1st round. And Underwood didn't make it out of camp. Dude flaked one day after signing his contract.

    Cleveland can cut Johnny at 4 PM tomorrow.

    I think it is done by 4:01 PM.

    Which will make his career as a Brown shorter than Brandon Weeden's, who was cut on March 12th after his second season.

    Johnny still setting records.

    Zombo

    I agree Z, 4:01 tomorrow. For sure a Browns record. Maybe Gip can look up the NFL record for the fastest cut of a first round pick.

    Was curious so did a little research....and think Craig Powell may have the record....only made it 1/2 way through his second season....and never started a single game.....thanks Bullychick!

    A few other 2 year wonders were Clifford Charlton, Pete Adams & Mike Junkin.....and making things worse, Charlton and Junkin were back to back picks.....

    And, of course, there was Don Rogers.....

    So....Johnny, Weeds, Powell, Charlton, Junkin, Adams and Rogers = 7 first rounders gone in 2 years or less.....turble

  • Other glorious moments:

    Trent, #3 overall and traded early in his second season.

    Phil Taylor didn't make it to his second contract.

    Brady Quinn ... 3 years: 3 wins

    Kam Wimbley ... four years and gone

    Jeff Faine ... three years and gone

    William Green, Tommy Vardell, Charles White, William Adams ...

    And that's not even touching these Top o' the Draft heartbreaks who stayed and played, but not like Top ten picks: Tim Couch, Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, Braylon Edwards ...

    Can we nail one this year?

    Zombo

  • I sure hope so....

    cause the scary part is we havent even mentioned Gilbert, Winslow, Holden, Phipps or Mingo yet....Hahahahahaaaaaa

    Ha!....we're talking first round......just havent got the strength to discuss 2nd and later.....🙂

    Though...if I was.....Id start with Ron Brown and Tom Skladany.....

    ....Id almost venture to say out 2nd rounders have outperformed the firsts.....

    How far down the draft are we to go? Just first rounders?

    OK, I see, never mind.

    I am going to put some documentation about Browns 1st round busts on another thread of its own.

  • If we don't get a quality starter at number two there are going to be some bad feelings.

    Yes, Weeds was mentioned originally. Sticking to first rounders, but thanks to adding to the pain.
