Draft Hypothetical Involving Tr
-
Cost analysis of what you would be getting from Richardson makes me think taking him at #4 is way to much to spend on him
Then who would you take. He is the one person availible there that will give us the most game winning production. Period. Blackmon will not be able to give us as much on the offense and Claiborne while good isn't going to win us a magnitude of games if any.

dudes, just chill. there's is NO WAY we are taking richardson at 4. love him or hate him.
4 is a tough spot. the BPA will be him blackmon and hopefully claiborne when the browns get on the phone. question is IS can't we find someone equally as talented a couple spots down the board if we trade down?

See I'm not against that either, or Blackmon, or Claiborne. We ARE going to get a really nice player simply because everyone stayed out of last years draft because of the lockout (which makes it great we found the people we did in rounds 1 and 2 if you ask me). I just think at 4 Richardson is the best pick regardless of the whole RB argument. Now there is a chance we could trade down and still get him since the only team behind us looking RB is possibly Tampa but I also wouldn't be against trading down and getting Kuechly or Floyd. That year draft Grossi bitched because thee is always a huge gap from the top 5 talent to the next 15. This year there are great players all the way down to around 10-15 so in a trade down situation we would be good.
I think though if we trade down past Tampa and Richardson is still there we have to take him. He fills a need, at 6-12 he is most definitely the best player on the board, and if we don't Cincy sure as heck will.

Like I've said many times- not hating on Richardson- hating on drafting a RB way high. Recent NFL history says he won't have the immediate impact some people think he will.
The question I would pose is why draft a RB @ #4, when the top rushing list is currently populated by guys drafted far lower than that? If you think the guy is Jim Brown good- OK then. I'm not seeing it though.
You can say the same thing for WR, OL, LB, or a hand full of other positions for that matter. You sure as heck shouldn't take a WR that high and more so than a RB. If the decision is to grab an offensive skill player I think they ask themselves this question. Who gives the team more yards and touchdowns. Blackmon maybe just over 1000 yards receiving and 8 TD, While Richardson should have at least 1200 yard just from rushing and 10+ TD's. Plus the WR position falls off a lot less this year than it does for WR.

I don't see any rb getting 1200 yards with this team especially if we don't get a deep threat wr. If we draft Richardson and don't have a true #1 receiver, expect the same results as last year with opposing defenses stacking the box every down and stuffing TR.

That's why we have the #22 and #37 pick right? What happens if we draft Blackmon. He isn't any kind of field stretcher so we would be in the same boat. Plus Little is a big physical guy like Fitz but with slightly more speed. We is going to get better getting separation off the line with long routes and that should open things up too.

The problem with a true deep threat is who's going to get him the ball? Unless you give McCoy a rock solid pocket- anything he throws deep gets there in slow motion, giving DBs plenty of time to recover.
MHO is even with a legit #1 WR and TR- teams will still play 8 in the box, take Richardson out of the game and dare Colt to try and beat them deep.

we are taking Richardson at four unless the rams can guarantee us that he will be available at #6 with say an extra draft pick...no way we will give up a sure thing. Blackmon is useless to us because many of you say Colt is a slob...Trent can run, block, catch and even pass...we are talking 20+ plays a game he will be involved in.
I would rather have trent touch the ball 20+ times then miller, peade, wilson, james or even my buddy Turbin. If colt can't get the ball to blackmon what is the purpose...now i believe colt can but at the same time i think that 3 other WR are close to the caliber that Blackmon is...NO running back is even on the same page that Trent is.
Think about it we could have had Wallace right now and all we would have to do is give up the #4 pick that you are telling us that we are going to get an unknown in blackmon? come on think about it!!! We are not drafting a WR at #4 because we could have had the 4th best in the entire League right now and all we would have to cough up is some change and our #4 pick...aint gonna happen.
This draft we are going for rough tough big mean boys sorry chase, sorry blackmon sorry james sorry wright
trent, floyd, alshon, mcnutt I will get rid of the curse that has haunted cleveland since 1999 if we don't pick up at least 2 of these guys. My wonderful Jeep that I bought on septemeber 12, 1999 in wonderful Cleveland then drove it out of town never to return...even if we do pick these guys i wanted to start a donation to give this jeep a proper burial so Cleveland can finally get to the super bowl in 2015
