    Baker still overthrows to too many open receivers.  Look at Mahomes, his throws are right on time and this is only his 2nd year.  Granted, he has a much better team than we do.  But you can tell from his release, he is much better than Baker.    I don't see Baker ever being as good as Brees, but he's much better than what we had.  We definitely need to draft a #1 receiver next year or pick one up in FA.  Then we can spend our draft picks on the D and O Tackles.  Let's get the D right where we can stop teams from scoring.  Not to far away.  

    We need a lot.  Receivers, OL, DL, secondary.

    Except you made it sound like we could just go get one now, here, for this season.

    My exact words were “I’m sure Dorsey will fill the role by next year” 

    Pay attention.

    Still....the question remains,   where is the tree they can just be plucked from?  We have had all kinds of  WRs come in here from all parts of the draft and free agency......and none have been so hot.   Though....hopefully,   Calloway can become the deep threat, Landry the short threat,  Njoku to do what TEs do. Duke catching the ball out of the backfield.  Higgins now that he is back being the #2 or 3 guy.  

    Sure, another top notch WR can't help....but I am honestly not certain that that is our top priority.    A couple of guys to help block for Baker so that he can have time to get the ball to those guys would, to me,  be a bigger priority.

    Twatwaffle.   Interesting word. Is there an Urban Dictionary entry on that? 😆

  • Whereas the likes of NE only concentrate on what their players can do, we seem determined, no matter who the coaches are, to concentrate on weaknesses and try and fix them IN GAME

    Njoku can’t block so don’t frickin ask him to, line him up all over he’s a great weapon as a receiver. So frustrating.

    Remember when Njoku almost got Kizer killed last year?  Yeesh.  It's one thing when that happens to Kizer, but when it happens to the #1 pick of the draft like TWICE...yeah...let's just say there will be punishment.

    Well Michael Thomas was plucked from Ohio State, 47th overall.

    Keenan Allen was plucked 76th overall.

    Josh Gordon was plucked in the supplemental draft, (costed a 2nd rounder)

    There is plenty of talent out there to be plucked.

    Still pining for Josh Gordon too.

    Sure, you can get them....on rare occasion.  Antonio Brown...6th round.   But the Browns haven't been so successful, have they?  And when they were (Gordon), that turned to shite.

    So the Browns haven't been successful since they came back in 99. What's the point here? If they're going to change the outcomes then they're going to have to hit on one of those wide receivers and if you don't think they are just because they haven't before then you don't think they'll be good either so I don't understand why you would continue supporting them. I believe they are going to change things around and I think you do too but just to say well the Browns haven't had success hitting on wide receivers before so they're not going to now isn't really moving the conversation anywhere.

    What I am saying is that I don't think that WR is really the top priority this team would go for in the draft.  It would likely be a mid rounder and that would be a crap shoot.  I also think it might just be possible that some of the guys we do have here could turn out better than we think:  Calloway/Ratley may be good rookies.  Njoku has the talent to be top notch.  Landry is steady as she goes.  

    Would I be OK if they took a mid round WR?  Sure.   I might even be better if they got a top notch FA WR   (another area they have failed at...see Bowe/and that other guy who I can't even think of now).   But at least with a FA they would not be giving up a pick.

    So, sure, explore all the avenues.....but if you ask me what they should spend their high picks on....it would not be WR  (defense/OL)
