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

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

    Antonio Brown didn't look like Antonio Brown the games Big Ben didn't play.

    Fair enough. But just one point: the reason we are not over the moon is because we have been here before with trade downs, trade ups....and they all have not seemed to work out. Trade down for Phil Taylor, up for TR, down for Gilbert, up for JMZ, up for Erving etc etc. We will jump over that moon when some of these guys make the Pro Bowl....or get us into the playoffs. Until then we must temper our enthusiasm. Disappointment makes one suspicious.

    Even lower round stuff......yinzers take WR in round 6 that becomes an all pro, we take a guy in round 4 that can 't make it out of training camp. You get the picture?

    Of course we get the picture. A study in the Washington Post.

    Great link, and no surprise the Browns have stunk. FWIW, the Hoorta was all over taking LaDanian Tomlinson back when.

    Exactly. I keep seeing idiots on my local Browns Backers facebook page posting stuff like "well after THIS move we won't win crap this year." I'm just like "really, THIS is the one that made you realize it?" Anyway, I do my best to tell them the corner-turning on this rebuild will be 2018.

    We need all hands on deck to prevent another houseclearing-causing mutiny from fans desperate for cheap wins.

    That's exactly it- and being a little closer to NE Ohio- I can tell you this- the hardcore fans are out of patience, and the casual fans just don't give a shit anymore.

    Long about November we pool our money and start buying all the PSL's we can...

    Double our money in two years... maybe less...
