Justin Blackmon vs. Prince Amukamara
-
Blackmon made Amukamara look like a bitch. I still want Green, but Blackmon and Jones are a toss up if we are taking a WR and Green is gone.

Alo, help me with this: Why would a player stay in school if he's expected to go top 15 and a wage scale may kick in the next year?
I mean Andrew Luck is doing it, and he would be the Number 1 overall pick... I dont agree with the decision, well for the sake of money, not for the sake that he has his head on straight and wants to graduate. Football will always be there for these kids, but the college experience won't. Sure you can go back and be the old guy that sits in the front of the class, but you miss out on the parties, meeting new people, etc. Being a football player it is much easier to meet people, but still.

who cares if he has a attitude, so does most top tier WRs
-
You want playoffs and super bowls, or players who have no chip on there shoulder

The rookie wage scale most likely will apply to this year's class as well, so there won't be a big difference in payouts. Plus, it's not at all a sure thing that Blackmon would be a top fifteen pick: he isn't as tall or fast as AJ Green & Julio Jones, and he's only got one year of serious production under his belt.
Coach Gundy has gone on record saying that Blackmon needs to stay in Stillwater another year. And after getting busting for DUI in October, Blackmon could have maturity/character red flags kill his stock. With Holmgren's past troubles with players who had alcohol issues (Koren Robinson, Jerramy Stevens), I'm not sure the Browns would gamble on a guy like Blackmon, at least in '11.
As a result, he may be better off staying in school another year.

Thanks, A. I didn't know the wage scale would apply this year as well. From what I hear, nobody's against it, including the NFLPA. Not sure what the trade-off will be for 18 games, though. Maybe just higher caps?
Good stuff on Blackmon. Sounds like he and Broyles are doing big favors for Floyd and Baldwin. Floyd is moving up the charts as it is.

The Browns NEED a WR. I don't believe you'll draft any other position in the first round. Truthfully it would be pretty foolish.

I watched that game and he made Prince look awful and if AJ Green is gone which i believe then this is the guy i would want and we could even trade down a lil bit and grab him while acquring a couple extra picks, i have rated over Jones and almost right there with Green
