wackywabbit Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I guess martavis bryant was right with his draft day tweets Trades seem to be way up this year, but trading a young player who was productive, albeit not reliable/consistent, to a division rival is still interesting. Was cheap for the browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We already have Coats on our team, he goes by the name of Ricardo Louis. Straight line runner who has drop issues and cant run clean routes. Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the Browns need a WR is because the young ones they have cant get seperation, have questionable hands and are very raw route runners. The WR they need is a polished route runner with sure hands. A dependable possession WR type. All they did with Coats is compound the problem and add another WR that feeds to the weaknesses you already have in your corp. The only thing I can think of is that Hue Jackson loves to push the ball downfield and with Kizers cannon arm he was looking for another deep threat outside of Cory Coleman to stretch the field and make 4-5 deep catches throughout the season.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 @Bucketheadsdad your snark is wonderful everywhere, don't ever doubt it. Coates has his issues but he's better than the bottom few guys on our roster. Looks like a win/win deal, we improve the bottom of our roster, the Stillers get draft pick for a guy who they don't feel helps them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I dont really like this. Steeler fans hate on Coates too much. Browns get the edge on this deal. His hands will always be an issue, but he was the best deep threat in the league early last season before he busted up his hand. He could be a nice asset if he gets back on track. Only reason Im not too upset is because we are pretty loaded at WR and he wasnt a lock to make it. But hey, we got a 6th round pick, so we gettin' the next Tommy Brady, y'all!!!!!!!1!!!!

Yeah the move in no way hurts the Steelers. If the Browns and Kizer do develop a downfield passing game it could potentially make the division foe better, but if the Steelers felt that was really likely they wouldn't have made the deal. Kind of like the Browns trading Gilbert within the division, they probably just went with the best offer believing it wouldn't come back to haunt them no matter where he went.
