    No matter who we drafted, there'd always be people bitching about it.

      So much for "Money Ball Analytics" We passed on Taylor Decker, Paxton Lynch, for a shrimp like Benjamin! We could have had Michael Thomas at 32!

      Benjamin was a slot at best and wanted too much money. Coleman is the same size as Antonio Brown and has blazing speed.

        They could have stayed at #2 and taken Elliot, then Thomas at 32 and I bet the results would be better than all those draft picks.

        DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

            Absolutely, just told son this guy is our Antonio Brown. Beyond that they have managed pick acquisition masterfully.

              I don't really like it, but it depends idk. I didn't have a strong preference at 15 but I liked Ragland or Treadwell

                I know we got many FUTURE picks. None of the picks would win any games for us in the near future. Sometimes you got to start to select real impact players and try to win some games.

                  The team sucks and requires a huge infusion of talent. Not just one or two players.

                    2015 Biletnikoff award winner (best WR in college football) the #1 WR on many "draft guru's" board, a nasty player, and a position of desperate need, and yet that's not good enough for some of us????????

                      Please put down the keyboard, eat the spaghetti O's your mother heated up for you and brought down to the basement. He's not benjamin, he's more like Antonio Brown and you obviously forgot about the extra picks that we got that will help this team. But wallow in your Tidy Whiteys all alone with all that knowledge you seem to think you have as a NFL GM. This team needs draft picks to build on, not just 1 pick. Nuff Said.

                        There were other wide receivers we could get in round two who are bigger and better. I thought at least we'd get Noah Spence out of the draft. Man oh man it's going to be a long 24 hours waiting for round 2.

                          Coleman is the 1st or 2 wrs we take. We need a Burner at Wr AND WE GOT IT AT 15!

                            Do you actually know any players outside of Ohio State?

                                So the Browns traded their #2 Overall and gained:

                                Corey Coleman

                                #76 overall 2016

                                #77 overall 2016

                                #100 overall 2016

                                The Eagles' First Round Pick 2017

                                The Titans' Second Round Pick 2017

                                The Eagles' Second Round Pick 2018

                                Or an entire extra draft worth of picks over the next three seasons.

                                That seems like a pretty good haul to me.

                                      We did take a good player, but if you didn't want to F'n Bitch ALL the time, you would pull your head out of your ass and see that. Look at Colemen's tape and read the experts.
