    Love this pick. Love his running style, he was born to play for the Browns. Enjoy.

        Considering we were last in the league in passes out of the backfield AND we dont have a kick/punt returner....

        Looks like yet another need filled.....

        O line depth.....check

        Run stopper.....check

        Pass rusher.....check

        Punt runner.....check

          Thanks, PoG ! I never even thought to look at rb's in this draft, and I'm sure

          I'm not alone in that...

          but this kid seems like he could end up being a STEAL and could really make

          a difference.

            The Ravens and Steelers are always running screen-plays and it pisses me off because we seems to hardly use them, maybe we have the Linemen and the Runningback to use them effectively now. I can see Hawkins, Gabriel and Johnson making teams pay for going all out on Manziel. ๐Ÿ™‚

              Very fluid and shifty. Soft and sure hands as well. Hides well behind the O-Line..

                Notice him coming from the backfield right up the seam against a linebacker? Very Ladainian Tomlinson like. That's the primary reason he's on this team, he brings receiving abilities Crow and West simply don't have.

                  Yep....last year our backs caught only 30ish passes the whole season.....ouch!!!

                  A lot of that is on shanny for not even trying, so lets hope our new OC see's things a little differently....but this kid will be the primary target.....

                  West better bring his A game or he'll be #3 in a blink of an eye.....

                    And Crow needs to secure the ball, no more fumbles. That killed some important drives and made the game harder than it should have been. No turnovers, grind the rock, make plays in space, win games.

                        Hmmm, keep hearing this, but he only lost 2 balls and one was on a bad toss from Hoyer....so im not so worried that he's really a fumbler, per se...

                          I don't believe that Crow is a fumbler but he did fumble a few more that we luckily recovered. Perception is reality sometimes so he needs to make sure to secure the ball... more securely? haha

                              And the RB receiving woes included our sterling pair of FBs. Also Tate could catch...

                                Never looked at RB's myself as I thought we were good, but some info :

                                Adam Caplan @caplannfl ยท 15h 15 hours ago #Duke Johnson at combine. 5-9 1/10, 207. Mid 4.4s at his pro day workout. #CLEpick

                                Adam Caplan @caplannfl ยท 15h 15 hours ago Duke Johnson will wind up being the starter at RB for the #Browns.. Perfect fit for new offensive system. #CLEpick

                                Ian Rapoport @RapSheet ยท 15h 15 hours ago The #Browns took Duke Johnson, working him out during the process. They begged the visit stay secret. It did.

                                  Apparently hes the best fit rb in the 2015 draft for the zone scheme and its not even close. Check out the scouting report on nfl.com at the link below. That quote is at the bottom of the page.

                                    Farmer spoke like he'll be used as the kick returner as well. Sounds like he fills a few needs
