<![CDATA[Let's Look Seriously at WR]]>OK, so....fuck a bunch of Josh Gordon. Forget about him. But that position looks now to be a dire need for the Browns: Wide Receiver (fair to say?) Here are the WRs CBS Sports says could go in the Top 3 rounds...and I have no doubt the Browns will have to take one that high:

11 *Laquon Treadwell WR 1 Ole Miss Jr 6-2 221 1

23 *Corey Coleman WR 2 Baylor rJr 5-11 194 1

28 *Will Fuller WR 3 Notre Dame Jr 6-0 186 1-2

31 Josh Doctsoninjury.gif WR 4 TCU rSr 6-2 202 1-2

44 *Tyler Boyd WR 5 Pittsburgh Jr 6-1 197 2

46 *Michael Thomas WR 6 Ohio State rJr 6-3 212 2

58 *Pharoh Cooper WR 7 South Carolina Jr 5-11 203 2

69 Sterling Shepard WR 8 Oklahoma Sr 5-10 194 2-3

71 Braxton Miller WR 9 Ohio State rSr 6-1 201 2-3

77 *Rashard Higgins WR 10 Colorado State Jr 6-1 196 2-3

87 Leonte Carroo WR 11 Rutgers Sr 6-0 211 3

94 *Kenny Lawler WR 12 California rJr 6-2 203 3

98 Jordan Payton WR 13 UCLA Sr 6-1 207 3

102 Kolby Listenbee WR 14 TCU rSr 6-0 197 3-4

105 Keyarris Garrett WR 15 Tulsa rSr 6-3 220 3-4

111 Aaron Burbridge WR 16 Michigan State Sr 6-0 206 3-4

119 *Bralon Addison WR 17 Oregon rJr 5-9 197 3-4

Where do you think the Browns may go with this. Where do you want to see them go?

The number in the front represent their total overall prospect rating.

I like having a few veterans show these young kids how to act and handle stresses in the locker room and off the field; but, it is our coaches that should teach on the field and help all of the players get better. You really only need a few vets to be team captains and the rest are BPA in my opinion. Now, if they thought that Hartline was better than most of the other receivers than I think we should have kept him; but, if they just did not like what they saw enough and felt that they could get better from the younger players than I understand. Anyway, we finally have some real coaches and not project coaches trying for the first time. Let's see where this goes and hope at least two of the four WR drafted pan out.

What I have highlighted above is the absolute key. The Coaches we now have know how to evaluate, develope, & utilize players. After last year, due to poor coaching & poor utilization, we had little idea what we had talent wise. After this coming year, we will end the season knowing far better what our REAL needs are. That alone is progress.

Teacher? No, that's the "coach".

Radio guys both said that Higgins is making plays on a consistent basis, perhaps more than any other receiver. The other guy who looks good is Terrell Pryor. Apparently Pryor is getting chippy with people and talking some smack. I actually like that. I want somebody on our team to have an edge, and why not him? He has the look of a WR, not a guy trying to PLAY WR. He looks good and feels comfortable. Still don't know if the guy can catch the ball, but I'm guessing he can if he's playing well in OTA's.

Still, I'm not sure why Hartline getting the boot make sense. Apparently he was a very hard worker and somebody that could help set an example for all of the young guys we drafted. I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if this move doesn't help pave the way for Josh Gordon. I know, I know...I shouldn't even bring up his name, but perhaps Gordon is coming back.

If he cannot prove that he is much better at special teams than the rookies; I think, he will be let go in favor of one of them.

I see. Yeah I honestly don't see anything special about him. I think they should try Duke for kick returns. Kind of like Sproles.

I am promoting Rashard "Hollywood" Higgins to the first team due his college production, his hair, and his sunglasses.

p3475.jpg8866740.jpg

WR1: Coleman

WR2: Higgins

Slot: Hawkins

Bench: Pryor, Louis, Payton, Moore

Cut: Gabriel, Jennings, everybody else.

The rookies will make the roster ahead of the "veteran" guys.. no need to pay more for the same skill set. Hawkins will get traded for a draft pick to some team that has a WR pop something in camp, Hartline/Gabriel/Moore will get cut.

If Gordon isn't training hard now, he won't make the roster if/when he returns.

I like it, but who do they need at what position? There's got to be a move coming, if & when Gordon is allowed back? Nobody's trading for Gordon imo. He should be free (except from himself)

@tim-couch-pulls-out said:

Don't know why we need a million other pages, then.

What are you complaining about? You didn't read any of them in the first place.

That said, I'll try. Because Josh Gordon has only played 5 football games since 2013 regardless of how much some guys want to celebrate the endless skipping record. Tommy Chong was as useful to the Cleveland Browns in 2015 as Josh Gordon - but I promise not to forget how talented Gordon looked way back in 2013. In addition, Pryor missed most of last season due to being cut until there was only a couple weeks left where we were informed he wasn't ready for games yet. More specifically, the last regime wasted 1 full year of potential WR development for this guy so in 2016 he's starts out like a rookie WR learning a brand new offense for his new position. Does this put him ahead of the rookie WRs that have started the last 3 years at Wide Receiver? I'm not so sure.

Obviously there's more to discuss than remaining stuck on pause. This regime feels that their WR Corps is pretty important to competing in a passing era and some of us are excited to talk about it.
