Browns BEST picks....everrrrrrrr
-
Please add my favorite 1st rounder for the Browns, Eric Metcalf from Texas. I always admired his play and was elated that he was never on a Texas team that beat A&M. But damn he was scary good every time he touched the ball.
This was one of the best days of my life:

Yep, like I said, scary scary good. Damn he could break a field apart and then run it ragged.
Did you get some? You left out the rest of the story Z.

Vagitron and Douche are pleased...
HA!....and all the good stuff REALLY happened before 1970.....
For instance.....I was just researching our WR picks over the years to see where our best ones came from.....and with everyone saying how Farmer hates WR's, I wanted to see where we picked them prior to his coming on board.....so, some interesting stuff....
First...our last FIRST round WRs who were any good?......Gary Collins 1962 and Paul Warfield 1964.....so, it's been 52 years since weve scored a WR in the first round......52 years.....52 years....(no wonder the Browns have an aversion)
And in the last 52 years, weve picked only 4 WR's in the first......
(Thats 1 every 13 years)(so its not just Farmer now, is it?)
Steve Holden
Willis Adams
Derrick Alexander
Braylon Edwards.....
Who are our best(all time) receivers since 1970 and where did we get em?...
Reggie Rucker..........waiver wire(Dal)
Webster Slaughter....2nd rnd
Dave Logan..............3rd rnd
Brian Brennan..........4th rnd
Kevin Johnson..........2nd rnd.....
Not a single first rounder on the list.....
The rest of the story? In his 6 years as a Brown, we never really figured out how to use Eric on Offense. Only twice did he exceed 1000 yd combined for us.
In year 7 with ATL he had almost 1200 yd receiving and had his best year as a pro with over 1330 combined.
(Thats 1 every 13 years)(so its not just Farmer now, is it?)
Just maybe playing on the Lake has something to do with it? On top of the running history of the league a "cold weather style" also factored in.
If you think about late season, weather condition patterns do seem to emerge. Off the top of my head Great Lakes teams generally spend fewer high picks on WRs. Notable exception is Detroit, which tried to make up for every other Lake team, but they are a dome team. Ditto the Vikes.
Can you name a great Bear WR?
... a great Bills WR outside of Reed?
Where's Gip when you need him?

I knew what you meantAh Tour, you need to get your mind down in the gutter with me. I was referring to the rest of the story in terms of did he get some from the "chick that was a Browns fan" that watched it with him. Inquiring minds want to know.
Come on Z, after you let the steelers fans have it did you let her have it...

Not only do we get to beat the Stoolers tomorrow we can seriously dent their chances of making the post season!

1986-1988? 3 straight seasons and is way too long to do the double over the scum!

Ya, she wasn't that hot, had a big ass though. I'm sure after that great win I threw her a bone.

Definitely one of my all time favorite backs....Im sure there is LOTS and LOTS of love for Mack....
He was part of the biggest/fastest influx of talent weve ever had.....thanks to the USFL....
In 84-85 we drafted Don Rogers, Chris Rockins, Ernest Byner, Brian Brennan, Bernie Kosar, Kevin Mack, Gerald McNeil, Mike Johnson, Reggie Langhorne and Frank Minnefield....
Kablammo!

See, we don't always draft horribly. It's just a feast or famine thing. We sure are due for some lightning to strike
