He took a chance on a WR because the hounds were at his heels so bad for not having done so before. It was on obligatory pick in my opinion. One he was essentially forced into. I am sure he hoped it would work. Mayle was rated as good as others that were picked in his same vicinity.. it just didn't work.

not drafted UDFA.....I think Farmer likes those better. I think he thinks he can get a veteran better than a rookie...and/or a rookie UDFA as good as a draftee.

@gftchris said:

Yep, and would probably spend a 3rd on a WR if he felt it warranted.

... or a 2nd or a 1st... operative qualifier is "if he felt it warranted".

@gftchris said:

Totally agree with that

@londonbrown said:

Maybe, maybe not. I just hope we get to find out, that we don't see another GM/HC change after 1-2 years.

@gftchris said:

Hmm not sure, maybe we'll see next year. . .

You dont actually think Gip was right, do you?......

Farmer doesnt hate rookie WR's....he just hates spending high picks on them......

@mudfly said:

Sure, but it's still a rookie WR that Farmer invested a roster spot in.

@gftchris said:

he wasn't drafted......he was signed as a udfa.....and ended up outperforming most of the WR's who were drafted.....

@the-gipper said:

Really? That makes no sense to me. If you don't want them then why waste a 4th rd. draft choice that could have been used to move up for someone you wanted more? That would be a move worth a firing IMHO.

@the-gipper said:

Except Gabriel?

@texasag1969 said:

Stupid statement......the Browns never choose WRs in the draft.....so it is not matter of inability....it is a matter of choosing not to do so.

I actually think the choice of Mayle in the draft was a throwaway by Farmer. He hates rookie receivers. He hates investing in rookie receivers. Mayle may have been on the chopping block from the moment his name was called.

So am I the only one here who is not at all excited about Terrelle Pryor?

I'm with you on that. I will admit it interests the hell outta me that we took him though. Almost like they are conceding a roster spot for experimental purposes, which is mildly depressing since it's a "building for the future" move.

Not that that's so terrible, but it's so obvious l worry about the other 52 settling for a "building for the future" mentality.

I didn't see Bibbs name on the list. How about a trade for Mike Glennon, EJ Manuel, Garapollo.

Terrell Pryor is horrible at QB so they better not be thinking that!

The Pats drafted Jimmy G to be the heir apparent. Pretty sure he's not on the block.

Jennings showed almost as much as Lenz in the passing game, and was pretty electric in the return game. That kid has a career as a returner at least.

I was thinking the DT Wynn since the other is a WR and was released a day earlier (I think).

@ibleedbrown said:

Unfortunately, he didn't make the PS. I was really hoping he would at least make it there. Especially considering that Jennings made it. In my opinion, Josh Lenz showed he can play several positions, but lets hope the Browns made the right decision on this one.
