    Yea, right....those two are really going to do it for us.  Ya think? 

    Here are the facts:  if Randall leaves, we will need two  NFL quality starting safeties.  Not sure if Redwine qualifies at this point. He could be a sufficient backup.   Hassell was third string last year, basically filling out a roster spot.

    But...if you believe that the Browns are in good shape with those two as our starting safeties this coming season....by all means, please expound as to why.   It would be a more than pleasant surprise if you are right. 

  • There you go again...

    I never said "starters".

    On the other hand you did say "starters and backups".

    Catching on yet? Or do I need to slow down more for you?

    I don't care what you said.    Before you even imposed yourself into this conversation  I said that we need  3 safeties.   We need 3 safeties  (assuming we lose Randall)

  • Again.... I accept your surrender.

    Now onto something more productive... so for everyone except Gipper...

    Looking through the FAs left I noticed Ravens' once great CB, Jimmy Smith is still out there. At 31 he's lost a step, but at 6'2, 210 he has SS size to play in the box.

    OTC puts his 2020 contract potential in the $2mm - 3mm area.... so maybe $2 + incentives. Only downside is his injury history in recent years. SportsInjuryPredictor.com puts his 2020 chances of injury that requires he miss at least 2 quarters at 44%.

    Thoughts?

    Just like the Greeks surrendered to the Trojans.  If you were a civilization, you would be Troy or Carthage.

    You still never answered the question:   were those two  Cinci signings a big splash in your mind...or not.

    With his lost step...could he play safety? 

  • Wrong thread to talk splash Gipper...

    And what part of "except Gipper" was unclear? I knew you'd have nothing to add.

    You're losing it.

  • I am worried about safety depth, admittedly. Redwine looked awful last year and Randall was on and off the field with injury. Our biggest need clearly is LB help, but safety has to be high on the list now too.

    It's a pretty good draft for Safeties.

  • @one-post said:

    Draft one like every other team does. 

    One?  We need like 3.   In addition to that  LT...and those few LBs we need. 

    Do you expect a 5th/6th/7th rounder to start?

    No but we need to address the situation before it even comes. Browns seem like they don't like to draft a safety. Perfect opportunity this year though. That safety out of Alabama seems legit. Time for a boring draft.

    Well...to be fair,  Andrew Berry is a new GM,  and while he was here before, he was an underling.  So we don't know if the Browns "don't like to draft a safety".   I think they will try to draft the best players they can get....and yes, clearly Berry is making moves for need.    Conklin,  Keenum, Hooper. 

    I would expect him to address the situation.   Though he can't really address it before it comes, as that engine rolled into the station last week or so.   Its here.
