Welcome aboard JYD. And since we're in a new place, does that mean all our tabs start from zero again? :/
Ok so now that the pre-season schedule is out. I noticed that the Browns play their final pre-season game against Da Bears in CHI. Any wagers on wheter or not the Browns open the regular season agaisnt Da Bears at home :/
Here's the link to the Mock Draft Database that I post every year (if anybody is interested) http://hailredskins.com/MockDraft.htm
ESPN Cleveland says Josh Gordon is better than any draft-eligible wideout available this year. There's certainly evidence to support this. Gordon goes 6'4/220, ran a 4.52 forty and posted an impressive 50/805/5 line as a rookie. The wideout prospect with the most upside this year, Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson, is a little faster at 6'2/216 but will enter the league even rawer. The Browns did well to use a second-round supplemental pick on Gordon last year.
The Cleveland Browns are not known for stellar free agent signings, but they have made some pretty shifty moves in the past few offseasons. With the offense slowly starting to focus more around Trent Richardson, Cleveland is just a few pieces away from competing in a weakened AFC North. Cleveland is interested in former Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson, and I think this move makes a ton of sense for the Browns. Nelson is a relative unknown, but at age 26, the risk is definitely worth the reward in this scenario. 2011 was the year that Nelson burst onto the scene with 688 yards and five touchdowns. Had Nelson not gone down with a torn ligament in his right knee, the ex-Bill would have garnered a pretty penny this offseason. If injury prone guys like Danny Amendola can get paid by NFL teams, then I do not see why more teams are not chomping at the bit for this up an coming wideout. I understand that a Pro Bowl is probably not in Nelson?s future, but he has ton of potential and his 6-foot-5 217 pound frame can help any team. Leave it to the Browns to find a steal in a guy like Nelson. Last season, Cleveland?s leading receiver was Josh Gordon who has yet to turn 22 years old. Although it would be a rather unconventional duo, the pairing of the speedy Gordon and talented Nelson would be something to see. Either way, the Browns have a lot to gain from signing the former Florida Gator.
The fun part is that they say the same about Weeds! I really hope he pulls his head out of his butt this year.
Hi Guys, lots of familiar faces in here. I couldn't even find the Dog Pound Lounge anymore. Thanks Lyman for the address to this place. Good to see everyone.
Duff, Gordan has run a 4.45 40 yard dash before. So he is usually faster than 4.52. I'm not real familiar with Nelson, but he doesn't sound bad. I like the group we got now and I expect them to get even better. It appears the Browns coaching staff is really high on Cameron Jordon as their featured TE.
What are your opinions on Norv Turner's son's being our receivers coach. Apparently he spent a couple of years with Chud in Carolina, so maybe he wasn't just hired because of his father being our new Off. Coord. We will see I guess. Oh, I see I have my logo now, but what is this stuff about me being in street clothes. I am actually in my PJ's LOL.
