If you look at that list the only 2 that were good in college at big time programs were K2 and Braylon.

Maybe if they would draft the top level guys from the top level teams they would turn out better.

Taking wr's from UNC, SYR, and KSU isn't going to cut it

I don't think Farmer would give a flying fuck about any WR draft.

That is NO excuse to not draft WRs. I'm sure just about every other position for the Browns would look eerily similar. We've sucked for so long that we've forgotten what it's like to be good. That chart tells me that they need to draft WR's HIGH, not high wide receivers... jab, poke. No seriously though, looking at that list, they did good with first rounders, only Braylon and Winslow though? That seems like a good track record in the first round, it's in the second round they should be wary.

I would have taken a chance on that Dorial Green-Beckham. Gordon is a stellar WR and he'll be a Brown for a long time, just has to focus in and do what needs to be done... same as Johnny.

I would love a Gronkowski like TE or another Gordon-esq WR. That what Manziel needs to be successful. And a bruising FB. No team every had a legitimate running attack without a slobber-knocker at FB.

This may be why Farmer doesn't draft WRs very high....he has seen the Browns history and does not want to repeat it.....at least that's a working theory:

Wide Receivers drafted by the Browns since 1999 in round 1-3 (plus my comments):

1999 Kevin Johnson 2d rd. (he may have actually been the most productive on the entire list)

2000 Dennis Northcutt 2d rd. (if he had held on to 1 pass in 2002 postseason game, our perception of him may have been quite different)

2001 Quincy Morgan...2 rd..(what was the nickname we had for him...hands of stone?)

2002 Andre Davis 2nd rd. (4 WRs in a row in round 2...WTFIUWT?)

2004 Kellen Winslow Jr. 1st rd. #11 overall (TE that was to play like WR... two words: Crotch Rocket)

2005 Braylon Edwards 1st rd. (1 good year)

2006 Travis Wilson 2d rd. (Who?)

2009 Brian Robiskie 2nd rd. MoMass 2d rd. (this was the double tap we all got 2 bullets to the chest and head with these picks)

2011 Greg Little.......2nd rd. Big man who lived down to his name.

2012? Josh Gordon....Supp draft for which 2d rounder was used. Talent there....more off field issues.

So....there you go....still slight hope for Gordon to rejuvenate his career. But with this track record, can you blame our FO about being gun shy with high picks for WRS?

Braylon and K2 are perhaps the two biggest disappointments....because of their talent. Their dead heads got in their way of success here.

And I do advocate taking a WR this year fairly high.

I would like to see 4 Hall of Fame players come out of each of our next 3 drafts. (it has only happened once in history....Stelelres.

Good old Kevin Johnson, seemed like he dove to the ground as soon as he caught the ball. He would have had a lot more yards if he ran instead of fall.
