If they did send him packing, I hope they wrap him carefully in bubble wrap and mark him as "Fragile".

I’ve lost all hope in “butterfingers” Coleman...they can send him packing this summer as well.

In his last collegiate season, he led the FBS with 19 dropped passes, leading to many scouts citing that his inability to hold onto passes was a major concern.............

And THEN

Although he was a fourth round pick and still in his first season, Mayle was one of the Browns' final cuts during training camp on September 5, 2015. It was cited that he was cut due to dropping numerous passes throughout training camp.[2]

I don’t mind taking a flyer on Callaway, if he doesn’t work out...it’s not like we haven’t wasted a 4th round pick before.

I remember a 4th round WR drafted by Ray Farmer by the name of Vince Mayle.

He didn’t even make the 53 man roster (or even make the PS) and was cut before the regular season began.

Ahhhhh the good ol' NFL Draft days. Now it's just a boring not ready for prime time over hyped, over promoted, over analyzed event one round main event.

(Oh I still prefer Saturday/Sunday afternoon if that's not too obvious.  )

Well, back in the day, he used to lambaste teams for some of their picks.  I remember him saying something to the affect, "And this is why the Colts will always be bad...making picks like this".  And Irsay later saying, "Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyway?"

I think he changed his style a little so as not to be so hated.

He doesn't have Ghoolie balls

That was not Irsay....that was a GM of the Colts (before Polian) ...named Bill Tobin.... who got fired for making such bad draft picks.

And how did this jackoff Kiper become an Authority? The guy basically calls everyone a good pick. His head is huge.

& fer sure, at least one, maybe a couple of the 2018 QB crop will bust. (It had just not better be Baker, but I feel really good about the pick) It's almost gotten funny watching First Round Draft Night, with all they hype these guys get. It's a damn historical guarantee 1\3 of them will bust and another 1\3 will under perform.

Yes.  But some limbs appear stronger than others.  Darnold was the consensus safest QB pick (in the media and pundit's mind(s)).  When you go against the grain, your need to be right increases.  Let's say a bunch of us went for a hike.  On the way back we come to a fork and most everyone says we should go left, but one person says No, we're going right.  Well, OoKaay...but ya better be right.....

There's a lot of failed QB names on the back of that jersey that no longer hangs in that Cleveland store-front.  We are the QB laughing stock of the league.  It takes guts to NOT go with the safe pick if you're a Cleveland Browns draft picker.  ---  I'm just sayin'.........

Now, do I want Mayfield (and Callaway) to succeed?  I absolutely do.  I'm going to support them and give them the benefit of the doubt.  

And having said all this stuff about going out on a limb as opposed to being careful and picking Darnold, I (we), would NOT want Dorsey to have pick Darnold because he wanted the security of the pundits when all the while he actually felt that Mayfield was the best QB (or best QB for us).  We all want Dorsey to be right.  I'm anxious to see the preseason games that's for sure.

yeah, the pundits were high on Mandrich, too. They don't know Sheet.

But again as I've said I am glad we chose Chubb where we did. He is an excellent inside runner with vision which we really need. He's far better than Crow and with Hyde added in too we have some real weapons to chose from in the backfield, both of whom also can be 3rd down backs with hands. It also I think relieves our "U" player so he can back up Landry in the slot. Don't be surprised if that's where he's listed on the two deep come Sept.

*****************************************

Nope.

I'm a big fan of both Michel and Chubb. They are different type rb's. However, if you read up on evals of both...

going with Chubb was brilliant, in the second round:

disagree I expect Corbett to start at LT this year That is why he was drafted at #33 not to be kicked inside or used as depth as some morons have said so no this pick was not a reach

I agree except the moron part. I have a bet with Tour ... I'm thinking lunch and a cold beer at The Corner Alley.

Zombo

BTW-Fornette and Elliot are proving the forgotten value of RBs being taken higher in the draft and I think we just saw that play out this year. Three in the first and all the best before the end of the second.

The danger I see begins with pick 2.01. Aside from Chubb there's not a single pick that does not look like a reach. Callaway might hit the 7/11, but even worse would be if he stayed clean and simply sucked.

We've made reaches in the past that seemed to of worked out before. I'm hoping the lineman we took early pans out greatly.

@nickers said:

I wonder who backs up Tretter..?

I would assume Austin Reiter.  He looked pretty good filling in for Erving a couple years ago...until he got hurt and on IR.

@syd said:

Yup, I expect them to work him at LT in competition with anyone else on the roster that might suit that position.  I don't think they want to say anything that makes it sound like he's 'the guy to beat' to be LT because they don't want to put pressure on him...plus, it leaves them an 'out' in case he can't be a LT.

@tour2ma said:

We signed Tyrod?

Sorry... had to laugh at your close.

All GMs start out on a ledge with one foot on a banana peel and have to earn every incremental increase in security. And as Dorsey showed in KC they can do well and still screw it up.

In CLE Dorsey has a year-one mulligan in his pocket named Hue. Any Mayfield issues will be put on his "handling". Additionally both our Round 1 picks had enough backing, enough viability pre-draft that any initial failure would not be significantly damaging.

Yep...sounds like a Ray Farmer pick.

He hated WRs...so he looked for about the worst one he could find.
