    The first signing Hue Jackson made when he became coach of the Browns? Terrell Watson, a RB on the Bengals practice squad.

    Was a D2 player, broke 21 records, huge and fast. Absolutely killed his pro day last year. The only reason he went undrafted is because he has a learning disability.

    However, because he was on the Bengals practice squad he has a year of experience with Hue's offense.

    Analytics are just numbers, but his Sparq rating in last year's RB class was second only to Todd Gurley. Perhaps we have a diamond in the rough here

      Seems like a legit good kid. I like him.

        Hopefully. If he is as good as you are touting then we would not have to take an RB in the draft since we also have The Crow and The Duke. Use those on other needful spots.

          I doubt we will. Crow is solid, duke is emerging as a great pass catching back, and Watson is Hue's guy. Not to mention the average shelf life of a RB is 3 years, I doubt we start a rebuild around drafting a RB high.

              Browns also have Glenn Winston and Raheem Mostart on the roster, for whatever those guys are worth.

                OK, but that's only three and it's hard to see Winston sticking after his 2015 pratfall.

                At 242 Watson has FB size... can he lead block?

                  This is worth a watch at the top two in the draft.

                    We have 5 RB on the roster now: Crow/Duke/Winston/Watson/Mostert. Plus Malcom Johnson listed at FB.

                    Would you be looking for another RB? If so, what. I tell you what I want: another Josh Cribbs to return punts and kickoffs. Right now Mostert is listed as starting KR, and Tramon Williams as starting PR. Gilbert and Duke are listed as backups, along with Marlon Moore.

                    We need help there. Fair to say?

                      Mostert is a really good kick returner.

                      Our punt returner is probably not on the roster yet.

                          Here is about the only site I could find that rates the KR/PR position:

                          http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2617449-2016-nfl-draft-ranking-this-years-top-return-specialists

                          I am thinking Bralon Addison in mid rounds. We should get lucky with a Bralon second time around, no?

                          Pharoe Cooper could be good too....as both WR and KR)

                          (but note: they have the top 4 being two guys from Alabama and two from Ohio St.)
