Supplemental Draft Time

[AbeBeta]

So Cleveland uses what will ultimately be a top 40 pick on Gordon

Schefter again:
Baylor WR Josh Gordon goes to...Cleveland in round 2

Wow. That's high considering they had the number 2 pick.

 

[Hailmary]

Bad move on Cleveland's part considering that the WR class next draft should be pretty good.

Put it at the bottom of the long list of recent bad moves from Cleveland!

My heart goes out to that fanbase.

They deserve better than this.

You think they might want someone to catch balls now?

By the time Gordon learns the playbook and learns to run NFL routes, Weeden will probably be ready for retirement....lol.

Yea, and according to LaCanfora, they had the 2nd pick with only Buffalo ahead of them. What I was trying to say was that unless a team like Miami was willing to put in a 2nd round tender on him, they easily could have had him in the 3rd (or maybe even the 4th).

Sure, but a 2nd is a high price to pay for a team not expected to do much. Also consider that Gordon's not very polished. He may contribute some for Cleveland this year, but for most other teams, he'd probably be redshirting his first year to learn the playbook and routes.

Most rookie WR don't do anything in their first year. The logic that there are good WR in next year's draft just means that next year they'd be in a similar boat developing someone

This is true, but I think they could've used such a high pick on a receiver that's a lot more polished and with fewer red flags. I'm not saying Gordon won't be a good player, but a second (almost a low first) for an unknown commodity is a very big price to pay.

Which says something for how exceptionally steep a learning curve Gordon is going to have, considering he's significantly behind most drafted WRs.

If they're looking for a WR to catch balls now, they would have been better off claiming a cheap free agent.

I can't believe that says we still most likely would've taken him in the 3rd or 4th. I was hoping the reports after the fact would say we had zero interest at all.

I mean how would they even know.

Was anyone saying Cleveland in the second?

Well it is *the* official website... And with the bad pub this guy had I'd assume that if anything they'd deny interest once we didn't get him. So I'd think this was based on solid info.

But maybe he was just guessing.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

risky risky move on the browns part.

2nd is betting a lot on a guy who got kicked out of baylor, and hasn't played in over a year
