  • How would you guys feel about E.J. Manuel in the 4th or 5th. He's got some skill plus there's that chance to run the read option like Cam did in Carolina. He might be a poor man's Kaepernick...who knows.

    I would be ecstatic, but he'll be gone in the second.

  • All the cool QB "steals" (Manuel, Scott, Bray) will be gone by the third round. If we draft a QB, it's probably someone like Dysert in the 4th. Some people really like him.

  • A late round/free agent QB candidate I find intriguing is Sean Renfree of Duke. Just a thought.

    Mike

  • I like Geno Smith but worry we are taking a big risk if we go for him that high. I also like Peter Lalich. In my opinion this is the guy we should get if we are going to stick with Weeden another year. I wouldn't even let him hit the FA market because there are people who are going to want him for sure. 7th round pick, cut McCoy loose and go with the other three at QB and let them battle it out. Three young guys pushing each other. However I have a suspicion that for all the Browns talk about a QB competition that they may just jump at a QB in the first round. If so it will be Smith at 6 because he won't get past the Bills. However maybe they could act like they want him at get the Bills to trade up and give them some picks in return.

    We also must get a punter, and a FG kicker (most likely). I like Nebraska's Punter quite a bit and would like to see him in a Browns uniform.

  • As a UVA fan Peter Lalich brings up depression. But the guy does have talent. Hopefully he has his head on straight now.

    Lalich was on the straight and narrow for a while at Oregon State, but Ryan Katz was beating him out for the starting job. Then he got a BUII on Mothers day weekend and got kicked off the team.

  • Have you guys heard how he did at his pro day yesterday?

  • Jonathan Cyprien from FIU looks like a solid cover safety with big hitting abilities, needs to work on tackling and not sure of his draft stock

    You got to know what the top QB has if you want to have a real idea of what you can get in a trade.

  • Our WR coach was at Michigan's pro day 😁

  • If denard could catch a ball he would be a great replacement for cribbs as a returner.

    And like Cribbs we could get him as a UFA.

  • How about any of these prospects as a KR/PR:

    TJ Jones, Notre Dame

    Marquiss Goodwin, Texas

    Theo Riddick, Notre Dame

    Ontario McCalebb,Auburn (team him in the backfield with Montario Hardesty?)

    Andre DeBose, Florida

    Quinton Patton, La. Tech

    Robinson, Michigan

    Kenjon Barner, Oregon

    Stedman Bailey, WVa.

  • Barner wont be undrafted but would like to have him as a change of pace back for sure.

    How about Travis Benjamin? He already has 1 return TD in 6 return attempts (3 KR/ 3 PR). I think we'll go with him.

    Certainly he is in the mix. The only question is: is he going to be a near full time WR for this team. The #3 man in essence. And, if so, do the Browns want to expose him on the special teams.

  • I would sign Danario Alexander from SD to be the #2 across from Gordon.. pushing Benjamin to the 4th WR, where he will definitely be the return guy.

    I'll bet you a decent amount of money that's not true

    But can Benjamin hold up? And I figured we'd currently be more concerned with him in the slot.
