  • Or we could just like, NOT take low character trash period and stop trying to be like the Bungles. 

  • Or we can take calculated risk to gain a 1st round talent in the 4th round.

    4th round receivers wash out all the time.  Does it really matter why?

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Overall, I thought the Browns did well addressing areas of need. I'm disappointed they didn't really add any pass rush, but otherwise did a good job position-wise.

    I'm not overly impressed with WHO they drafted at those positions.  They seemed to go for character and work ethic (for the most part) over explosiveness and play making.

    You listed Antonio Callaway right after typing this.   Did you even proof read, bruh?

    You did read the "for the most part" comment, right? Or do you skip parentheses when you read.

  • Callaway 5'11" ran a 4.41 40, BJ 121.0 in. and Vert. 34.0 in.

    Ratley 6'2" ran 4.39 40, BJ 124.0 in. and Vert 38 in.

    Those are serious numbers for our two WR takes in the draft. Dorsey likes speed and ability to go after the ball. You sure can't sneeze at 4.4 speed.

    I wonder how they compare to Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman's numbers when they were drafted?

    For me Walter Football has always been a joke.  They've reinforced that here by calling the Browns draft "homoclitic" and claiming that it should have been "heteroclitic" instead.  JFC -You're writing for football fans, not high school kids studying for the SATs.  Know your audience!

    I always keep in the back of my mind when I read anything these sports writers are paid to meet deadlines, beat the other guys on topics, sometimes just to be contriversional not necessarily correct.

    It keeps the very crowded sports reporting world full of opinions!

    .......edit add, oh there are a few I do like.

  • First thing we do is shut hue jackson up with his slob knobbing of baker mayfield...take a page out of belichecks book and stfu!!!

    i can figure out who to shut up more...HJ or Ghool sample

  • Honest opinion..So much evaluation time was spent on the QB parade coming & going ending up back again at Berea. That the firm of Wolfe & Highsmith sole job was to have 3 players names ready per round starting in round 4.Dorsey than had his own visited troubled list to project to those players chosen by W&H . A)Baker became my #1 after all prodays..At the visiting period, Baker is the only QB I could see "Wanting to 'really' Win in Cleveland" like Dorsey motivates. Far more than Rosen or Darnolds bland energy of interviewing that I picture.Took Baker in pick 6. B)Ward became my #4 pick as posted in Barkley at 1 overall topic. Seen every B.Chubb game. Position gap at CB #1 far larger than Chubb Vs. Ogbah. C)RB N.Chubb became my #2 of RB class after comparing his combine numbers to Barkley. N. Chubb surpassed Sony Michel as my #1 Rb after posting RB class fumble ratios//With pick #33 my hopes were, getting up to #18 with Seattle to go get big Mike McGlinchy. Giving Shaq Griffin to Seattle at #33. Well Big Mike went #9 to 49'ers..no chance..So to whom ever this Austin Corbett is to become..Try being better than Mike McGlinchy..

  • On calloway- this guy isn't your typical 'character' problem guy.  By most accounts he is a BAD APPLE.  I follow sec football pretty closely, and I cant recall

    many players who have his sorts of character issues.  He isn't the kind of player who gets caught up in the wrong crowd; he IS the wrong crowd.

    Really!  I'm not familiar with him.  So you're thinking that's a guaranteed wasted pick then.  And that there's some potential Gordon will tag along with him for the ride.....

    Have you ever coached or ever played the game? Now with Haley in place. It's very possible Hue can now fix a few things with his time..A)team more game tape prepared for weekly opponents. B.) And Biggest.Players Executing their assignments..For every play there is 2-3 players/boners not doing their assignment. These are when you saw Cam Erving laying in the QB's lap in QB's drop. And when at a RB exchange RB gets blasted.. C.) Most are position coaches not doing their jobs teaching techniques. But some players just suck at taking teaching of technique seriously being a pro. Those players get a phone call to your GM asking for better talent..Good coachable Talent can win accepting being Coached..Hue's best position coach at this point is our DL coach Clyde Simmons..

  • the more I think about this draft, the more disgusted I am with it.  

    We selected a qb #1 overall who is 6 feet, not that athletic, has a decent but not great arm....when we could have drafted rosen or darnold.

    I like our pick at #4, but could we have gotten him some picks later?

    Austin Corbett at 33 is a bad joke.  So he's going to compete for maybe the center starting job? wtf? Did we draft him 33 or 233?

    Nick chubb at 35 is a crappy pick....he has no burst.  Good kid, just the inury killed him.

    Chad thomas...who?

    Antonio Calloway is perhaps the least character player in the whole draft.  Has like 6 red flag incidents....the sort of guy an organization should want nothing to do with.

    The first five picks, the most important picks, warrant exactly what he said.

    Yeah not quite. He took an alcoh9lic Retard #1 overall. That isn't a "high character" player anymore than Callaway or the other drug addled loser he took late in the draft.

    An alcoholic Retard was taken in this draft?  I didn't know your name was on the Big Board.

    All 256 picks.  Yes.   Except Mr. Irrelevent.   He will make it big! 😆

  • Think about all the past drafts in which we thought that the Browns killed it....thought they hit home runs out of the park all over the place.

    Now think about this draft where the comments are:  Meh,   each pick seems reachy.    X player sucks, Y player sucks, Z player sucks.

    So, maybe that is a good sign:   we amateurs think that the Browns did meh...

    ....and hopefully, in fact....5 years down the road this draft proves to have been a killer draft.  Opposite of what many think.
