Cleveland Browns 2022 off-season thread

[Real Deal]

Say no to Cooper.

He's the biggest name with the most disappearing act on a consistent basis. I'd wanna trade him too.

 

[Lee]

He played with Geno Smith way too much this year.

But we are not talking about DK's locker room antics.

Agreed, he is being traded because he is a WR2 making 20 mill a year.

 

[DJTJ]

Bingo.

He averaged over 3 yards less before YAC, and even when Russ came back, same shit.

The Guardrails list QB, CB, pass rusher, and OT as key positions. We drafted OT and CB in round one of the past two drafts. The other note under "Key Positions" is "QB: Keep Investing." If one of the premium pass rushers or OTs falls to us I could see us going in that direction (as much as I would like a WR). I would also expect them to draft a QB at some point since this group hasn't yet invested a single pick at that position.

At the moment, if we don't cut anyone, my list is DT, DE, WR, TE then depth pieces..

I think last year showed we're dangerously thin at OT.

 

[CBBI]

I think last year showed we're dangerously thin at OT.

I mean if the top 3 tackles get hurt on any team, they're going to have significant problems.

Going into the season Hance and Hudson were OT4 and OT5, ya know?

There just aren't that many good offensive linemen in the world.

I'm not saying we shouldnt get another OLine, but with the holes at DLine and needing another WR, it's hard to merit an OLine early unless we move on from Conklin...

That's true, but also consider that Conklin is unlikely to be ready to start the season and is in the last year of his contract and Hubbard is a free agent also coming off of season ending surgery. Unless we make a move Hance and Hudson are OT2 and OT3 to start the 2023 season.

I don't want to draft a OT high, either. But I didn't write the Guardrails.

I’m just glad we haven’t seen the “hey look at San Fran, you can win with trash at quarterback.”

Because we've already seen firsthand that you cant?

Also helps having Deebo. Dude is an absolute monster

I took him in the Pittsburgh mock draft the year he came out lol kind of glad he didn't end up there in a sense lol

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I believe I saw somewhere that the Browns will get some decent compensation picks for this hiring if it comes to fruition.
