Nevermind that he's a marginal productive player with a checkered personal history. Drafting another WR adds to and further confuses/limits an already crowded glut of receivers with an as yet unquantified ability level based on playing time. And imo you cannot make a personnel decision about a player until you have somewhat of a quantified evaluation of their ability level. |

Hopefully, a 2nd-round pick lost for this guy would be great for them.

Yeah exactly. While we may have a logjam at WR, its a logjam of mediocre WR's and those who have yet to prove much, save Moss. I am against adding Josh Gordon for anything lower than a 5th round pick (maybe a 4th if RGiii vouches for him). But in terms of our WR core i dont think adding him will jam anything up. "Locks": Moss Garcon Morgan Then: Hankerson (probably a lock, i just want more than one game from him before i treat him like hes totally awesome) Terrence Austin AA Aldrick Robinson Others So unless you think Terrence Austin, AA or Robinson is a better prospect theres no harm in going after Gordon with a late round pick. If we keep 6 WRs it wont be too hard finding space for him.

Short of adding a big target WR I think we'll see most touchdowns come from TEs and RBs. Something akin to the Patriots last year (hopefully). Regardless, it would be awesome to get Griffin a big WR target in the next couple/few years.

Imo this team cannot afford to spend anything more then a 5th or later on the 53rd man/6th WR. |

re: Updated: Browns Select WR Josh Gordon in 2nd Round
First of all I dont think this kid is as bad a guy as everyone seems to think. Yes, he smoked some bud in college and got caught and booted off the team. Then after he transfered to Utah who, "did their homework and thought he deserved another chance" was suspended for the year due to transefer rules not unlike what happened to LeRibeus. Im willing to bet 95% of the people on the site have smoked some weed and probably in college. Yes, I understand he had higher stakes than most of us but im not gonna condem a kid for being a kid. I also think that coming here with RG3 tellin him that he put his name on the line and to keep it clean, not to mention guys like Davis and Williams who I truely think have learned from their mistakes will mentor him with experience from past mistakes. Just sayin, I think he deserves a look.

TheSidelineView.com reports the Eagles are attending Baylor WR Josh Gordon's Tuesday Pro Day.
Gordon has drawn a big crowd, but the only teams confirmed to be in attendance are the Cowboys, Eagles, Bills and Browns. Gordon is listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, but The Sideline View's Adam Caplan reports he's likely to be measured at 6-foot-3. He's expected to be timed in the 4.4s in the 40-yard dash. Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter Jul 10 - 11:03 AM The Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys were among the teams confirmed to have attended. Obviously, there were Texans officials on hand, too. In all, 21 teams showed up. Caplan reports that Gordon ran a 4.52 forty-yard dash after measuring in at 6-foot-3 1/8 and 224 pounds. Gordon recorded a 36-inch vertical leap with a 10-foot, 1-inch broad jump. He did 13 reps on the bench. Supplemental draft prospect Gordon runs 4.52 forty at Pro Day | ProFootballTalk |

re: Updated: Browns Select WR Josh Gordon in 2nd Round
As for using a pick in the supplemental on him? I absolutly agree a 3rd is way too rich for my blood and was hoping to use a 5th or 6th. That being said, the supplemental draft is always overhyped and teams throw out rumors to get other teams to either reach with a higher pick than needed or cross them off their board altogether. I would not be surprised if he falls to at least the 4th. I also wonder why everyone here and elsewhere was mocking a WR to us before the draft and now we are "set"? What has changed? Moss lost wieght and is looking good? Also, if we do use a bargain pick on him this year he will get very little playing time and mostly be developing. Which in turn would put him a year ahead of any reciever we draft in 2013. Therefor speeding up the development and talent of our WR overall by 2014.

PFT says 21 teams showed up for the workout. Anyone have a clue which teams those were - did the Skins show up is what I'm really asking...

Obviously the Shanahans were there to scout Snead.

Did he get with anyone else after Tampa Bay released him? In league?

re: Updated: Browns Select WR Josh Gordon in 2nd Round
Decent plan.
Cut Rex. Promote Cousins to backup. Put Snead on PS. Then we take the cap savings from losing Grossman to coax Randel El out of retirement to return kicks.
