Hope a lot of other teams' GMs think that and he's there for us at 44.

I’d expect we sign a few one year deals to help boost the wide receiver depth.

I don't think [if] having Clowney will influence our board @44 ... we need better stability (getting younger and cheaper) at the DE opposite MG going forward.

I can see that as a possibility. My thinking is more along the lines that if you have Clowney on a two year deal, spending your highest pick on a player you will actually "need" three years from now may be a less likely scenario. A developmental player in round 3 or a little later would make more sense to me in that scenario. Certainly if someone they don't expect to be there falls that scenario becomes more likely.

I guess that all depends on who is available too ... [if] Burks is sitting there like some think that he might, and [if] he is higher on our board, then yes, I could see that scenario.

Hmmmm.......I thought Burks was slotted to go in the late first or very early second?

Interesting.

Karlaftis is definitely in contention for our pick if he falls. People were mocking him to us in the first before the Watson trade.

Burks was one of the 30 visits the Browns had, so, maybe.....

Actually saying Burks has a late first or early second round projection places him very close to our pick to begin with. The tenth pick in the second round is in the top one third of round 2. I don't think he will last that long but if someone is citing that as the projection, we are certainly in the conversation.

In Dane Brugler's final mock he has GB taking Burks at #22 and AZ taking Karlaftis at #23, though it's absurdly hard to get picks right that far down in the draft.

One of my favorites in this year's draft. Fair warning on a long story, but I love this kid. Mentality of a bull in all sports, man among boys his whole life (much like Myles) athletically. Not blazing speed... you're not catching him after a Nick Chubb-esque stiff-arm anyway. Intimidates the defender with physicality and plays with strong hands -- attacking the catch. Sorry, rambling, enjoy... Great story.

Burks was all the rage before the combine... he was top 3 WR off the board on most mocks. Then he ran a slower than anticipated 40 time and dropped some. I expect one of the GM's to land him in the 20's in the first round - game tape and ability in games trumps combine imo.

Yep.

4.5 at the combine knocks him down... it's inevitable with the amount of talent at WR.

I'm hoping this gives us a shot.

I think 6 WR WI defo go in the first round. I think 7 is possible if Pickens goes too.

But I don't see Berry trading up unless somehow it's part of a Baker trade. If anything I'd think a move down a few spots is more likely. Jmo. Think they'd really have to covet a guy to move up.

Seeing lots of negative press recently about PICKENS, indicating he was unimpressive in his interviews with NFL teams at the Combine, Pro Days and team visits. Too much of a “me guy” for some tastes.

Treylon Burks WR Arkansas is not a gimmick player.
He is a prototypical Wr, a long ball deep threat with over 16. yards per catch average, with a ton of upside.
If Burks were on the board at #44 and the Browns select him it would be outstanding!
If the Browns trade up and select Treylon Burks it would also be outstanding!

Now that it’s plausible he’s available, I’m good with taking him. Or Moore. Maybe Watson as well.

Outside of those 3, I’d go with defense

Fell well out of the first round as expected. I mean I don't care how talented you are perceived to be, you don't go from 5 receptions to first round pick.
