    I laughed at the thought of him being selected with the 19th pick. But in the 2nd round....hmm.

    Would you do it?

    Yes, please.

    This guy could very well end up being the best wide receiver in a class with two other potential future pro bowlers.

    6'6' 225 lbs. It'd be amusing seeing him line up beside Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel.

    6'6" 230 pound WR with Velcro hands and superstar potential? And you say NO? Because 2 years ago he smoked some weed as a young college kid? really? I think that he's learned from his mistakes and what better way to let Gordon's missteps serve a purpose than to be an excellent example of what happens if you don't take care of your personal business? I say to trade up early in the second to swipe this monster. Then find a way to get Perryman or Williams and a FB and you can call it a draft. 🙂

    I'd be very tempted.

    I'd expect another team to take the risk before Cleveland. DGB certainly is talented, but Farmer seems to prefer proven FAs at the WR position.

    Maybe Indy will draft him.

    I'm flip flopping on it. On one hand, he seems to have a good support system via his adopted family, BUT.. another WR with a rocky past with weed makes me wanna throw up

    He's so good though...

    Edit: on further inspection, he's having a kid, that might be the motivation that keeps him on the straight and narrow path

    Absolutely not... and neither will the Browns.

    If we did not take Shane Ray, there is no way DBG becomes a Brown.

    Our NFL Franchise is officially risk adverse.

    I don't think he has the drive to cut it in the NFL. I remember watching him in drills at the combine and it looked like he was just going through the motions. He looks like his talent has gone to his head and he won't be able to just beat people on the NFL because he's bigger than them. At the same time if he ever find the motivation to be great, there is very little to like about his game. He does have small hands

    Not even tempted at all. No thanks! Why waste an upper 2nd round pick on a guy where history hasn't lied about him yet? We'd basically be drafting a guy that will remain parked next to Josh Gordon off the field contemplating what if this guy liked football more than marijuana? There's just too many intriguing prospects that WANT to prove themselves prioritizing football to do so.

    No i would not. Yes he is incredidly talented and has a chance if he wants to to be great, but this is all about the hatitude you bring to a losing team thus far. These are not the kind of individual that will be beneficial to a rebuilding organization and to a locker room.

    I would look a 5 players at 43 : Eli Harold, Jaelen Strong, Maxx Williams, Denzel Perryman and Grady Jarrett

  • C calfoxwc wrote on

    No flippin way. The Browns are looking at character.

    I can see Strong, though.

    I really want Tre McBride, wr in a later round, and a quick pass catching

    TE.

    He smoked his way out of two schools. That is exactly who the Browns need. A guy who is too fucking stupid to put down the joint. Why take him when we already have Gordon to fill that role?

    We are in no position to take the risk on this guy. He has so much in common with Gordon. He has a history of being kicked out of schools, using marijuana, bad attitude, and low effort on the practice field... He has all the talent in the world, and somebody will get to see it... until he dive bombs just like JG did...

    No thanks... maybe in the 7th...

    Fourth round pick from BUF if he's there

    DGB would be nice to have and with Bowe, Hartline, HAWK, Gabriel and Benjamin there wouldn't be an immediate need to start off as the number 1 but to develop into that over time. And when Gordon comes back next year to line up opposite DGB it would be downright scary. It all depends on the evaluation that Farmer has done on him, whether or not he believes that the past is in the past.
