  • BaconHound and whoever, the thing is our receivers are actually pretty good. And I'm gonna say this on every thread bashing them until they get their due credit.

    I've been wanting to start a 2016 draft needs thread but i don't think anyone wants to discuss yet.

  • Next year use the Magic 8 Ball. 😁

  • Not really man.


    They tried building the team by drafting Brown, Warren, Edwards, Winslow, Faine, Greene, Wimbley, etc. Walter


    ****************************************


    "Number of offensive linemen drafted by the Browns since 1999: 10 — seven tackles (including Bitonio, who played tackle in college), eight guards and four centers.


    Number of first-round offensive linemen since 1999: Three: One tackle (Thomas) and two centers (Mack and Jeff Faine)."




    In recent history, they have only drafted two offensive linemen in the first round, not including

    last year, with Irving, who was a great pick.


    Sure, Jeff Faine was a great pick - but he was drafted in 2003, and freakin traded to the Saints

    in 2006. And the Browns signed Lecharles Bentley, who walked away from the Saints, and wouldn't

    play for them anymore. We know how that went. Faine was great for the Saints.


    And Joe Thomas was from 2007. Alex Mack - 2009


    And Schwartz at right tackle, 2012, 2nd round. It took a long time to build this terrific offensive line.

    Easier to get WRs than QBs

    I won't disagree, my point is why have a Ferrari when you can only drive during rush hour?

    Having elite receivers but a QB that can't distribute the ball as effectively is a minimal return on investment at best.

    I also agree but we keep drafting bums, Sammy Watkins or Justin Gilbert? Barkeivous Mingo?

    I won't comment about Shelton but if he turns out to be a solid defensive lineman and not a real difference maker we'll chalk that up to another miss,

    We don't have a receiver on our roster that would be a number 1 on any other team except for possibly the Panthers because Benjamin got hurt. And on many teams Detroit, Indy, Giants, Broncos, etc wouldn't be their #2.

    Dwayne Bowe would likely be a #1 for Jacksonville. Maybe New England, they like old former #1 WRs.

    Pryor would be a #1 for any team. Wait and see.

  • Farmer blew it in the first round last year passing on Khalil Mack, Mike Evans and could have had Garapollo, Carr or Bridgewater

    But it's passed. I do like Shelton, Erving, Cooper, and Gaines and believe next year will be the year of Cardale Jones and a wide receiver.

    So far, Kevin White and Davanta Parker would have done us no good. So someone light a fire under Dwane Bowe because he looked bad against Tampa.

    Memo to Pettine: Let Crowell carry the rock! Stop rotating with West and let Crowell get into a rhythm! And then use Duke Johnson like Sproles and Vereen. If Duke ever gets on the field.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    There's a reason they haven't cut him even though he's played 0 snaps so far.

  • There are a lot of teams that wanted Pryor if he would agree to convert to a TE or WR. He is an elite athlete with tremendous upside at WR AND can serve as the best emergency QB a team could have. Hell there is a chance he is the best QB we have. He is going to make this team for sure.

    Totally agree. Pettine's handling of the RBs is my one and only complaint about him.

    Well since Hawkins, as a slot guy, isn't eligible to be a #1, you can't compare. He is easily a top 10 slit guy in the league. And our guys aren't good because we have a great 1, they're good because we've got three guys who would be 2s, despite your disbelief. I posted it before, Gabriel was a top 20 receiver last year. You would rather loathe in misery than look at it.

    Slit guy? I think you're thinking of West...

    Focus on the road ahead, not the rearview mirror... I know Mack makes it difficult, but concentrate...

    Pre-season is made for rotations so you can see backs behind the same line and against the same D. Regular season will feature one or the other, but unless one really takes control, expect to see the lead back change week-to-week as it did last year.

    The Practice rule will still be in effect.

  • MUD NAILED IT !!! LOL.

    For further information about how to handle

    the whiners on the board:

  • 2016 will be the first year that I'm all in on a top QB in the draft. The WR's will be just fine next year - we need a QB. 2017 we can draft a round1 WR and a round2 OL.
