WINSLOW TRADED!!
-
Oh, if I decided to do some research, I bet you could find at least 20 guys who've made multiple all-pro games from the 5th round and later. Actually, you could probably find 20 guys who are in the hall of fame and were 5th round draft picks.
And what are our odds of finding one? Give me a break!

There are many, many more.

Neither is K2. LOL, my mistake. Clark did block like one I tell ya.

The ONLY team with more than 8 wins that we've beaten in the last 2 years besides Seattle was the NY Giants on a night Winslow didn't play. Kind of NICE being less predictable.

3 picks of Eli and an extra week to prepare had a big part in that win over the G-men as well. Along with them probably being a little over confident coming into that game, after the preseason beat down.

BUT check this out from our TEs that game:
S. Heiden 5 rec 59 yds
D. Dinkins 1 rec 22 yds 1 TD
That didn't make Edwards have a bad night as he had 5 rec 154 Yds 1 TD
Now look at how well we ran the ball vrs a playoff team when we had better blockign on the edge:
Cleveland Rush Yds Avg TD
J. Lewis 21 88 4.2 1
J. Harrison 2 41 20.5 0
J. Cribbs 1 12 12.0 0
J. Wright 1 3 3.0 0
L. Vickers 1 2 2.0 0
There's 146 yards on the Giants and we couldn't do that vrs BAD teams when Winslow played this last season.

Coudln't do it against bad teams w/o Winslon either this past season. I just don't draw a lot from Winslow being out in that game a reason for good play.
-
I just see it as Winslow wasn't going to fit in the plans and we traded a problem before it became a problem once he started getting 2-3 balls a game.
If we got a 2nd and something else, I am good with the deal.
Face it....Mangini wants to put his stamp on the team. That means new blood.
Before it done, expect to see more players traded....Rogers is probably next.
-
im happy we are getting multiple picks with this trade. He was good but also expensive and better to get rid of him when he has value.
We have plenty of talent at TE. The picks will def be used to sure up the roster and add depth, I think it's a good move. As long as they atleast got a 2nd / 4th.

and if Mangini is worth a shit...........Rogers needs to go as well..........overhyped average performer in a team that cannot play the scheme
-
I like it, if we get an early 3rd rounder or better its a good deal.
K2 is on borrowed time with his knee issues. Might as well get something for him while we could.

The useless overhyped dumb wasted slug is finally gone...........glad this time Tampa went brain dead instead of us as usual

I agree with you here Rich; dude is one injury away from retirement...another Browns draft failure

All players are one injury away from retirement.
And Winslow is not a draft failure. He's put up top 5 TE numbers for 3 years now.

when do we know what we got for him?

Probably tonight or tomorrow.
They will likely reveal that the pick is indeed this years 2nd rounder, and next years is a conditional pick that has the potential to be a 2nd or 3rd if winslow produces.

True; that was not my best take...or my intent. My point is that he has been very injury prone; it is obvious that we are in rebuild mode and I am fine with someone who claimed to be a soldier (I actually WAS one; 'visitor' in Iraq) with a complete attitude problem is gone

According to Sirius NFL; WTAM we receive a second this year and a fifth next

Bucs 2nd rounder is pick #50Good spot for a lineman

The Brinkley scenario is intriguing, but Jennings or Greene to go along with a Center (Eric Wood) wouldn't be bad, neither.
OG Duke Robinson wouldn't be bad, but he'll likely be gone by #50. Besides, I think our weakest link on the OL is at Center. We can get by with Tucker and Shaffer on the right side for another year or two. Fraley starting in 2009 is hard to justify.

I am quite pleased with this....ESPECIALLY if we did get a 2nd this year & another pick in '09 or '10.
Kellen has (had) great talent, BUT he.....
Is NOT a good TEAM player
Does NOT "choose" to block
IS injury prone & looking at a short productive career....AND
I feel he would be gone soon as he becomes a FA, so....
Why NOT get something for him while value is still there for him. There is a LOT that will be available in the 2nd round this year & I have been worried that Winslow would end up being a very costly mistake for the Browns in the long run.
The new guys are NOT sitting on their hands & that is a good thing....IMHO, they are off to a fine start.
