Hawkins Released
-
Outstanding guy - I think the beating he took was taking a toll on him.
And yes, I look for Higgins to step up bigtime, and Coleman is ready to rock.
-
Did they? Who? Neither Coleman nor Pryor can be considered his replacement. Louis or Higgins? Neither of them caught a TD...and combined they produced about half the number of catches and yards as Hawkins.
Yes....I suspect you are right...they drafted his replacement...in the fact that they are bodies that will play WR. And they are "my guys" says Sachi.
But that does not mean those guys are as good. At least not by what they did in their rookie season. But they will replace him...for good or for bad.
On the other hand...HEY...maybe this is a precursor to them bringing Josh Gordon back into the fold! PoG would argue such.
Higgins will play the slot. I'm sure we can capture those 33 passes out of the spot.
And guess what ... we might even get better!

He has a lot to prove. He only caught all of 6 passes last year. But perhaps he will get his chance to shine.. I am not anticipating the Browns really taking a WR to speak of in this draft.
FAs?

1: Great guy, amazing for whatever community he lives in. He will eventually do well in a FO or coaching position.
2: Should have been cut during training camp last year.

Problem with this is i don't see a capable slot man on roster that can perform at Hawks level.
Switzer from UNC is a name that came to mind for the draft.

Well, the depth chart had Pryor and Coleman as the starting WRs....and had Hawkins and Louis as the backups. Of course...what pct. of plays do the Browns (and every other NFL team) use 3 Wideouts. Like half or more? So the #3 guy is really basically a starter in that "slot" role. Higgins would be the one to step up.
LWR 19 Coleman, Corey 16/1 16 HAWKINS, ANDREW R/Cin 81 Higgins, Rashard 16/5 84 Payton, Jordan 16/5 83 Parks, Dennis CF16
RWR 11 Pryor, Terrelle W/Cin 80 Louis, Ricardo 16/4 15 Alford, Mario SF16 85 Hall, Rannell P/TB 3 Boyce, Josh SF16 RWR 17 Leslie, Jordan SF16

Gotta find a replacement out of the group of draftees last year.

Cutting Hawk sucks to save another 1.5M on a already 100M available cap. ^^this is whats left at slot options. How bout we 1st find a QB that can get the ball out to a 5'7" 180 lbs guys like of Hawk & Gabe..even better draft a 6'1 slot guy in WR-Zay Jones..line him up anywhere & watch him go...I'll get over it, it's a Toledo thing.Good Luck & go get a ring Hawk

Ima bite my tongue on the whole Gabe / Hawkins thing...except to say that this is additional proof of poor planning and more signs of a rudderless ship when it comes to foresight and knowing where you're going with this roster...
In other news.....Corey Coleman should be the slot guy......(which makes me point to the above comment....again)

Hmmm....I wonder if this means that Mike Williams or Cory Davis are in play at #12 (and Coleman moves to slot).

If you haven't read the story on this dude, it's an amazing read on his journey to the Browns. Good luck hombre, he will catch on somewhere I'm sure.

I agree. The release of Hawkins may portend the fact that the Browns still may be in the WR market in the draft. We didn't think so after taking 4 of them last year....but now I see it highly possible that they go WR, perhaps in the first 4 rounds.

Interesting. Do you think his skills are more that way than like #1 or 2 wideout?
Does this possibly portend the pickup of a "non-slot" type WR in FA? People mentioned Jeffrey. That could be the type...but I am not so sure he would be the man. If not he...who?

I don't think for a moment that Williams would last til 12.
There would be a lot of griping if they take a WR at 12....given they took a WR in round 1 last year...and given the other desperate needs on this team.
