    Interesting! I wouldn't mind that move at all.

    Seeing about the same number of games from Hogan & Goff, I always like Hogan better...... Poor mans Luck - a gritty/tough dude, the exact opposite of Goff. Definitely like this signing, nothing but upside.

    I always enjoy reading your takes about the guys from the PAC 12. Thanks D Bone!

    Cam the only surprise for me, guess they like the potential of this new pass rusher better.

    No more Mozart. But at least we still have Schubert.

  • Only 22 returning from last year's opening 53... that has to be a record. Only like 7 of 22 starters... Basically we're watching a different team this year

  • Well there is always "next year".

    I have long been a Hogan fan. Good size, smart, & should benefit from the coaching of Hue & staff. I wanted him late in draft as a project, so glad he may end up here.

  • These 2 days may need to sink in, but for now our OL pass protection is a issue & nothing in 2 days has addressed it or it's depth..Lets Go to Philly. It will be tested..Go Browns!!

  • We have 2 more cuts to make in 4 weeks with gordon and bryant returning.

    My guess is 2 of the 5 just claimed, probably one of the DB's and one of Holmes/Lemonier.

    The bottom of the roster will keep evolving. And injuries happen. Things will look different five weeks from now.

    not going to carry 7 WRs, Hawkins will probably be the odd man out.

    Thanks Tour! I appreciate the depth charts too. What jumps out at you most when you look at the defensive depth chart right now?

    Maybe, but some vet presence in the WR room like Hawk would supply would be nice...

    Youth and the lack of depth on the OL. Youth is good, depth not so.

    Well lack of OL depth in the Defensive Depth Chart is a given... 😉

    But I hear you... we haven't had quality OL depth in a long time.

    getting technical now are you? it did say D didn't it? Oh well OL depth still jumps out like a sore thumb. Our front line OL can't open a hole to save their lives, not sure how they are going to run the ball. For once I would love to see a dive go for more than 6 inches.

  • Hogan better than Kessler? I was surprised Hogan was only a 5th rounder.

    Since I are (or was) an Engineer, it's what I do. Just reflecting the fact that my "youth" answer was in response to a question about the D. No offense meant...

    Hard to look at either side of the ball and find "depth" of any certain quality and only a couple "maybes".

    • Maybe at QB if McC plays as well as he did last year, but then the quality of our starter is debatable.
    • Maybe at WR, if a significant percentage of our Rooks pan out.

  • I can't believe we got Kevin Hogan! WHAT?!?! Kessler is definitely going to need more time before he ever sees the field in a real game. Hogan was a guy I thought we should take in the draft. This is good.

    Haven't seen an announcement yet but Wikipedia says he plays for the Browns

  • So...

    • KC waives Hogan with plans to sign him to their PS.
    • Then we claim him with plans to sign him to our PS?

    OK... I'm system confused...

    I know once on a PS a player can still be claimed by another team, but then he has to be on their 53-man.

    Can a waived player who is claimed be signed directly to a PS? Would seem to be the case for the waiving team, but any claiming team?

    Edit: Yup... there it is...

    For a player who is released to be put on the practice squad, they are first put through waivers. At that point, any team can put in a claim and try to sign him, either to their active roster or to their practice squad with a higher offer.

    So in essence PS signing is like a mini-FA... I did not know that.
