like_that;972250 wrote:I don't know. It would be tempting to take Barkley or Kalil. I know everyone here wants a WR, but I don't like taking a WR that high. Also, if they are that high I suspect heckert will be getting a lot of calls. If they can trade rape another team, then they def should do it. Especially if teams are willing to part away with a lot of picks for Barkley. If that is the case, then that means it will likely be a team drafting in the top 10 thus the Browns wouldn''t even drop that far down in the first round.

BR1986FB;972354 wrote:Nope. Neither would Green. Now I'm not saying they DON'T need speed/playmakers at the WR position but the O-Line needs fixed first. If I'm not taking QB at 2 or 3 I might be tempted to take Trent Richardson. I think he has that Tomlinson/Adrian Peterson ability.

se-alum;972356 wrote:Probably not, but that doesn't mean you don't draft great players when you have the opportunity. Blackmon is a hell of a talent, and one I wouldn't want to pass up on. I believe in making the QB the last piece of the puzzle, because young QB's are successful when they have a good team around them. Put the weapons in place, then worry about getting the QB. At some point we need big time skill players. Also, the new rookie cap makes it much easier to draft anyone you want, and not really have to worry about the money.

SportsAndLady;972442 wrote:Thank you!! Browns fans want to build the team through o-line, which is fine, and I completely understand the thought process. But every now and then you have to take the playmaker with a high pick.



Same type of success? Probably not. But this offense would be a whole lot different, and I can't see how we wouldn't be any worse than .500

They beat the Bengals and the Rams w/ a playmaking WR like Jones or Green.

I mean is Dalton that much different than McCoy? Dalton is better, yes. But Green could produce w/ McCoy throwing to him.



This I can agree with. But eventually you gotta actually make the picks and get some playmakers on your offense.

I think the Browns win next week.

Patch up the offensive line, and then get 2 playmakers. whether that's a WR, RB, or a lamichael james type. For christ sake, at what point do we all sound like broken records. "let's draft linemen and build that up, then get playmakers" at some point you need to pull the trigger, cuase i am sick of watching our offense.
