    Has Watkins caught a pass yet?

    No.

    Just like Brian Hoyer hasnt lost a game yet.

    And Mike Pettine hasnt coached a game yet.

    BUT BOY ARE WE EVER FUCKING UP ... BLOW UP THE WHOLE THING!

    Z

    Yep. Don't ya just love the doom & gloom?

    Note to Walter.....That #1 WR led us to FOUR wins last year. One player does NOT make a TEAM! OH, (psst, the draft is over).

    I agree with Tia about the Browns offense becoming run dominate. A lot of AFC north defensive coachs took a deep breath when an already simplistic defensive scheme against the browns became a slam dunk after the JR suspension. A starting wr line up of Austin and Burleson with still no consistent qb play leaves Browns with not much else for the d coaches to be concerned with. Ball control, a rested defense and consistent scoring from Cundiff may be a scheme that pays off.

    Look I like busting Walters balls pretty much everytime he posts but he has a valid point here. I do not necessarily agree that we had to draft Watkins but it is inexcusable that we didnt address the WR position somewhere in the first 3 rounds. This draft was deep at the position and there were some stud guys still available to us multiple times when we passed them up. If Andre Johnson was truly available for a 2nd or 3rd round pick we were foolish to not pursue that as well especially given the fact we have 2 first rounders next year likey in the top 15.

    who's left in the 4th that woulda been a game changer?

    they had to ride out one crack in the foundation. now they know where they stand with gordon. wouldn't be surprised if farmer waited until the 2-3 round next year considering the bust average on top ten WR picks.

    The trade down is ONLY good if Gilbert and our acquired Buffalo pick in 2015 pan out.

    If they know they were going to be without Gordon for the year, and not a blow away WR prospect in 2015 why not just draft Watkins for ourselves?

    ALSO - if the new NFL rules are WAY TOUGHER on defenses and playing pass defense then why not draft the fast athletic WR instead of the fast athletic DB?

    Probably because unless that rookie WR is Randy Moss or AJ Green, said rookie would not have impacted the potential win total on this team. Rookie WR's hardly ever do. I don't even think Detroit had a +win season following the drafting of Megatron.

    neither do rookie CB's.

    Sammy Watkins is a better WR prospect than Justin Gilbert is CB prospect IMO

    Sammy Watkins wont be a Dez Bryant/Calvin Johnson/Randy Moss Type Player

    He will be good, no doubt.. but he wont be a franchise changing WR in the NFL (the type you give up 2 picks for)

    He doesn't have those type of ball skills.

    He's like Percy Harvin.. only bigger.. essentially a big Percy Harvin.. So a Percy Harvin that can play outside essentialy

    Based on...what? Injury history alone would favor Gilbert. But hey, I'm sure you have a huge pack of straws to grasp at.

    Calvin Johnson has won super bowls just like dez Bryant and AJ green and Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall and josh Gordon.... Oh wait no josh Gordon didn't win the Super Bowl last year.... The browns went 4-12. If only tom Brady had an elite receiver, like randy moss, he would've won a Super Bowl by now. What a shame.

    don't blow the bortles horn just yet even though i agreed with you then that he was the best of the class right next to carr and garoffallo.

    evans will be the best rookie receiver, just ask manziel why.

    Gilbert was a solid pick. Watkins is already injured with preseason pt. Imagine what happens when he actually play games. He's fragile. Gilbert will no be a game changer out the gate but he will be in due time.

  • WalterWhiteW WalterWhite

    With Gordon's career up in a cloud of smoke, we didn't address the receiver position and should have just drafted Sammy Watkins.

    I just hope this isn't another trade down like passing on Julio Jones for average players.

    We are literally fucked.

    So was Braylon Edwards, taken at #3 overall. So, nothing is a no brainer. We really don't know if Watkins is going to be Calvin Johnson.....or Charles Rogers.
