That is a coaching staff that has actively talked shit on his abilities as a QB both on and off the field. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but if I had, I'm just reminding you and Kenny Pickett was the proof. Actually Mitch Trubisky's 2 year contract was the proof. They already took a 1st round QB that didn't get a 2nd contract with his 1st team. I think Pickett is an ideal pick for a team needing a new QB at slot #20 overall. Unless, of course, we listen to the same people that tried to say Joe Burrow's hands were too tiny to succeed. Tell you what though, if Carolina was offering to pay SOME of Baker's salary to make a trade with the Browns while other teams will just wait until after the Browns eat it. Then they sign him at humbled prices - shame on the FO. I'm gonna hold off on celebrating Watson's arrival until I know how long Roger Godcomplex let's us know the length of Watson's suspension. Watching this team blow off round 2 for more picks that where the biggest hope is depth only - in lieu of adding Travis Jones has me worried how much people are overrating areas of this defense. We've spent so much draft and FA attention the last 2-3 years on Corners and Safeties that we're willing to forfeit stopping the run between the tackles. Then we drafted a DE that the majority of this league views as Undrafted FA only. Going into round 4, it looks like we only added WR David Bell to get excited about. Who's gonna start at Center and RT? Who's gonna start at both DT spots and LDE? Who's gonna kick FGs and punt? I'm hoping today changes my outlook... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Re: David Bell Body control and smooth footwork. Need to work on being a bit stronger up top, but he wins contested balls a lot and his ability to adjust to throws looks big time. 4.7% drop rate. Can't stress enough how damn nice it is to see this staff value hands. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team really could have used two safeties with matching skill sets on the backend (Cross & Johnny J) Watching Emerson now, and I see the talent. I just also don't see the need for THAT high + immediate fit. If you wanted a tall corner, you had one on roster that has shown promise - AJ Green. No thoughts on Wright of yet, I'll get around to him and all the picks at some point. I’m feeling a little better about the pick (Emerson) and The immediate fit will be 2023 when Hill and Greedy are gone. We are going to need a seasoned #3/#4 in 2023…Hopefully he uses 2022 to get acclimated to the NFL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flugel Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Did someone really share a video of Alex Wright going offsides and endorsing him with "Offsides yes but this shows he's got some bend." Yeah, I haven't seen a bend like that since Reese Witherspoon's "bend and snap" in Legally Blonde. Unfortunately rolling the dice on this late round prospect in round 3 meant we gift wrapped a DT (Travis Jones) to the Ravens. He could have not only started here; but would have helped strengthen the biggest weak spot in our defense (the interior). Instead, we have wait 2-3 years to see if Wright develops into somebody that can help us. I really hope I'm wrong about that. I'd love to break out the pom poms, cartwheels and back flips for every pick; but we gotta keep it real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 PFF 2021 All-SEC Grades Emerson 3rd team with Elam York 1st team K Browns.com analysis Alex Wright was apparently a consensus target throughout the FO.. That's who they wanted. He was a WR and a double-double basketball PF in high school who had offers to play college football as a TE. Bell couldn't be happier to be a Brown When was the last time we were psyched for day 3 picks? It's been a while.. "Were you worried York wasn't going to be around in the 5th round? Yes.. You've got to have a good K" Greedy is on his last year of his rookie deal -- if he has a great year, Emerson will replace him in 2023. Also AJ Green's last year on his rookie deal. Oklahoma had Winfrey and the DL running a lot of stunts and rotating every 3 plays with backups -- that's why his and the team's numbers were down in 2021 and why we may have a round4 steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or he and the team don't understand what a DT is supposed to do. I think the team thinks we need Aaron Donald. Well no shit?! Too bad guys like that only come around about every 15 years. Give me a big goof like the Goose was for the Ravens. He didn't do anything but eat up 2 blockers and allow Ray Lewis to make about 150 tackles a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
