should we make a move for braylon edwards?

Do you know how many drops he had last year?. I don’t expect him to catch any bullets that JaMarcus throws at him he most likely will be a bust.

Then we would be sacrificing our identity as a dynamic running team for a passing team (with a guy that has alot of drops and amazing grabs). It seems like a gamble when we have a sure fire top 3 or 4 running game next year. There is no way we trade draft picks, #40 seems like the best trade option to me so maybe but I still think Robiskie packs a wicked game and is an early contributor for whomever drafts him. Great attitude and was brought up on the raider sidelines.

build through the draft. We need to find the next Hines Ward. You know, a guy who sticks with his team for 10 years and plays at great level every year. Maybe that’s Crabtree, maybe it’s not. But it sure as hell isn’t Edwards. Too many drops. We need a guy with good hands other than Miller on the team.

But this gets you thinking about what the Browns might do in the draft. Jurevicius is gone, Stallworth is most likely out, and now they’re thinking of trading Edwards. I’m starting to think the browns will pick Crabtree. Try to surround Quinn with better weapons (this also would explain if they draft a RB in the first three rounds) and ditch the iffy guys.

Now if this happens then we might get an even better pick, Brian Orakpo. No team before us (other than the Bengals and chiefs) needs a DE. And even if they do, they have bigger needs to address first. DE is most certainly not our biggest need, but I think we’d all love Orakpo more than say, Maclin.

Just some food for thought

this way you can trade down and let us snag crabtree :D

Instead of going after Braylon Edwards, we are sitting with a pretty good chance at getting someone that will be better than him and that is Michael Crabtree. I’d rather develop Schilens and Higgins and keep whatever we would be giving up to grab a guy that, I believe, has led the NFL in drops for the past few years.

He has plenty of talent, but i dont like the drops. Crabtree doesnt drop passes. He just looks so natural at catching the ball.

As for stallworth being out kais, i wouldnt bet on it. The evidentce is adding up that it wasnt all his fault.

He shouldnt have been speeding, but more and more it looks like he didnt mean for it and even took precaution to prevent him from being hit. Also it is reported that donte flashed his light at the man in the crosswalk.

I think the browns are not in play for a receiver. If donte gets suspended at all it will be for 1 or 2 games. They are shopping edwards, but they want a kings ransom for him, and he is too inconsistent for a top pick. I believe they will keep both receivers. They have even brought in david patten, who isnt a stud, but helps out with rounding out the receiver corp.

Browns also let go their starting right tackle shaffer. It is unlikely but they also might look for a tackle at no. 5.

Most likely they will draft orakpo, because they only had 17 sacks all last season, near the bottom of the barrel in the league. Raji looks like a no go to the browns since big baby rogers is back at offseason conditioning.

Unless chad johnson is traded or edwards is traded, i am not gonna get worried about crabtree not falling to us at 7.

And the whole “maclin has al davis speed so dont be suprised if he passes up crabtree for maclin” has about just as much proof behind it as “Al davis wants to bring in TO”

There is another saying that i have in response to that “AL Davis isnt THAT stupid”

I Was really worried that the Browns would take Crabtree that would have sucked.

Braylon drops more balls than T.O.
If we’re going to “make a move” lets make it Huggie + for Boldin

type player is what we need so we should make a play for him and if not at least sign Amani Toomer and Roy Williams.

if the Browns DO get rid of Edwards (whether to us or not), does that ensure that they’re definitely snagging Crabtree??

Well if we do get Braylon he is only worth a 3rd and a late round pick. He makes plays and we don’t have that in our current wide reciever corps.

But i say YES,He is better than what we got right now. It whould be a still if we could get him for a 2nd round pick or even better give them M. Bush for him. Hopefully RUN DMC will barely need fargas this year and RB’S are a dime a dozen these day’s. But naq92 has a good point , they whould be out of there mind not to get Crab’s if they got rid of B.E and they lost Winslow this year to.

I just think when RUN DMC bust’s out this year we won’t need him. If we can get Edwards out of it, I say do it. I don’t think that whould be giving him away. Yes Edwards will drop alot of ball’s, But he will score more TD’S than any one on our team.

I think we should trade #7 to Cleveland for Braylon Edwards, #36, and #50. Then they could get Crab-Man for the O and RAK-po for the D. I like RAK but he is going to take it all away from Trevor Scott. I would much rather arm up with 2nd rounders to draft and use as leverage to postiion ourselves were we want to be. But a draft of this + Braylon Edwards would be insane. I don’t care about the drops and not wanting to be in Oakland, everyone would have creamed themselves if we landed him after the 07’ Season. The dude can play and I would prefer him over Boldin to be honest especially with us receiving draft picks for #7. I know Cleveland would probably never do this but why wouldn’t they if they can land the best OLB and WR prospects in the draft.
