I think Little will be phenomenal this year. After that it's a little bland. Carlton Mitchell has the size, but I mean he hasn't used it to his advantage yet. We will see on that. I'm not expecting anything, but the size is intriguing. Cribbs isn't the worst receiver, but I'm not excited about him lining up as a starter either. MoMass is so hit or miss it's infuriating. He had promise after year 1, but then has been miserable for two years. Norwood is a slot receiver and nothing more. I'm cool with Norwood, though.

This Benjamin guy gives a solid back up return guy after Cribbs and now that we have Weeden his 4.3 can be used on offense as well.

There is the whole "Little didn't play for a whole year..." but I'm not sure how long we can use that reasoning??

I think a year

They didn't pick the guys on MY draft board, therefore, this team will be worse than last year.

Lmao....football fans think way to highly of their own opinions

Exactly, I don't think anyone on here had H&H knocking on their door or ringing their phones asking them what to do.

At times, IMO, I don't think Colt had the confidence to make the throw that needed to be made. There wasn't that TRUST between his ability and the WR's. That's why we saw dump passes all the time.

But time will tell. I am somewhat disappointed that we haven't seen a WR as well, but we saw some great play at times, plus Tight Ends have become the new Fad in the NFL. We have a good set of those guys. IMO, our play calling was dismal and anemic. Our play calling has to get better. Time will tell, as it always does, the truth in this draft.

Trust in the FO guys.

I don't think we need any wideouts.

#1-Greg Little ...in year 2 and in shape, seasoned and ready to kick ass

#2-Josh Cribbs ...developing into a nice #2 WR IMO.

#3-Carlton Mitchell ...looks a lot like Stephen Hill... 6'4" 215lbs with hops!

#4-MoMass ...a fine young man with good hands and work ethic, watch for a big jump this year.

#5-Norwood ...a speedy/shifty slot receiver who can really fly.

These are some decent receivers that we've got. Don't fret...

I don't totally disagree with you, but I think what's lacking is a true X receiver. Could C_Mitch turn into that? Maybe. Tthere just aren't any #1 X receivers left on the board. They may take a flyer on one of the guys left, like Streeter, but isn't he the same guy as Mitchell at this point?

Everyone talks about the Browns needing someone to blow the top off opposing defenses. Having a legitimate running threat and a strong armed QB with good protection might provide that with the guys we have.

Lastly, I wouldn't rule out a trade for a veteren WR. Not Jacoby Jones, but someone that fits the hole they are trying to fill.

I know what the FO said about not trading Colt, but the GB situation is a little odd to me. They need a backup QB to replace Flynn, but haven't pulled the trigger? Waiting for Colt? The Packers are stacked with WOs. Perhaps that's the angle the Browns are playing.

Time will tell.

Watson- Reliable vet who is solid in both blocking and receiving.

Moore- big bodied with ability to go up and get jump balls with soft hands.

Cameron- He's going to be the SECRET WEAPON of the Browns, I've got a feeling we haven't scratched the surface with Jordan!

Maybe a better quarterback can make little into a decent receiver. It happens all the time, I hear.

If we can grab Streeter i'll be ok...he totally destroyed Virginias supposed awesome backfield.

Streeter=Braylon (Stonehands)

Who?

Until we have a #1 WR, we will not make the playoffs.

End of discussion.

You may well be right about the Colt & receiver relationship, plus I have felt from the start that the receivers in this draft, as a group, were over rated.

What angered me was Detroit jumping for Ryan Broyles in the 2nd round. I think he will become the best WR out of this draft (yes, even after the injury).

Still more draft tomorrow, but I think the Browns have really improved that offense.

Mike

I know Detroit has a history of taking the BPA, but seriously they already have 3 really good recievers.

We need a WR , we a need a OLB, we need a CB, we need safety depth. It is all too much for one draft. We did a hell of a job this year with what options we had. Could we have a traded up for a receiver in the 2nd? Probably, but I get the feeling that they were not too high on anyone that was left on the board.

It is also possible that our receivers are better than we think and colt was the problem with his weakish arm and shortness. There is a reason that the front office tried so hard to replace colt.

Now im going back to drinking. see you all tomorrow!

Im not understanding these paranoid jumpy trade decisions or the piss poor instability of the choices this regime has made...

This imho is overall one of the worst drafts this club has ever had, does heckert really believe weeden can improve this shitty WR corp?

So we go with a 28 yo rookie QB instead of getting a weapon like wright or randal?

Im starting to seriously think this club does not want to win, ever...

If the Clippers can make the playoffs we definitely can.....eventually.

We still do not have a franchise QB in weeden and we still do not have even one legitimate playmaker at WR and we have a 5'9" RB that is injury prone..

We wont win 3 games this year..
