I have to move to the "this pick makes no sense" camp.

Yes, I understand we need an insurance policy because K2 is always under a knife and Heiden is old.  If we are sitting and this guy falls into our lap then definitely I go with the "best player available" arguement.

He is not a blocker.  He is a pass catcher.

But I don't understand giving up next year #3 to go get this guy.

we could give up a few of next years picks because we will get them back (and probably better ones) when we trade one of our QB's next year. there is no way we will be able to keep both of them.

We all talked about sliding Kellen Winslow to the slot at the begining of this year as we had no real #3 receiver. With JJ hanging in the towel at the end of the year is this a precursor to a move of that sort or is this just an insurance pick for the Browns? Any thoughts?

I think Heidens days are numbered mostly because of his injury Id assume. It must be worse than we all know. We will see plenty of this guy and K2 on the field at the same time this year no doubt.

well...when they were evaluating the pic, I'm sure they factored in that Kellen has missed significant time in the previous years and he did just have a scope done.  And Sanders from what I hear just had back surgery...so, not necessarily our greatest need, but the TE we took kind of has the same skill sets as Winslow.

I'm still surprised we didn't pick a corner.  I'm thinking Lito Sheppard in a trade for next year's second or we just wait for him to be cut and we pick him up in FA.

Sorry...not sure if it was Sanders or Steve Heiden they were talking about just getting back surgery.

You got that right Browns #1

Heiden is near done. I haven't read the details on the surgery.

Dinkins is a mistake he did nothing but screw up on special teams.

I would expect 2 more TE free agent signings too.

Incase you all haven't noticed Winslow is only listed as a TE.

9 of 10 times he lines up as a slot WR.

So any records he sets are totally misconstrued.

But if you can get away with it, what the heck!

Hey Browns fans-

Just wanted to check out your forums to see what you guys think of Rucker. I read a lot of mixed opinions. Being a Mizzou and KC Chiefs fan I was wondering why you guys picked up Rucker as well. And why the Chiefs passed on him. No matter the reason, I can tell you that Rucker is a stud. He was the most talented and impressive TE in college last season and put up steller numbers. The man is a steal and you guys have another true playmaker in cleveland. have a good season browns fans.
