tom cody Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Cooks to the Patriots. Brady's made stars out of much lesser receivers before. Now he has Cooks, who comes in as a top 10-15 WR already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I really hate to admit it, but the Patriots may have built the Death Star with the Cooks trade. And Houston drafting Deshaun Watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think the Browns getting a 2nd round pick to take Osweiler off the Texans hands was a great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're building a team before they land a franchise qb. They landed two picks in the first two rounds next year while still having 3 first round picks in this past draft. Having Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold potentially entering the draft next year only inflates their heady off season moves. The only thing with the Browns is that they have never had problems accumulating picks. It's been that they continuously make awful selections. I think they've turned a corner but we need proof of it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 For GB, restocking the TE and DB positions was pretty huge. Our #1 TE suddenly became our #3 TE with the additions of Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks. We also added some real ability to the DB through FA and the draft with Davon House, Kevin King and Josh Jones. Those position groups are significantly bolstered for GB heading into 2017.

Jerry Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 M. Lynch. The Raiders offense is going to be on another level this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more than a short yardage/goal-line/COP back is great in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll see what happens. Thats not the first time Ive heard that. Im not even really disagreeing....but the Browns have consistently found a way over the years to capitalize on opportunities to turn things around and even when they take a step or two forward, they just fall back again. Not saying it will happen again, but I dont think anyone should be buying into them until their seemingly good moves actually equate into wins on the field. And before anyone claims I am just hating....Ive said the same thing about my Pirates (in baseball) many times over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think even Browns fans would disagree with what you said. It is pretty obvious that you claim you've done something until you do something. Well, unless you're a teenage boy.

It is pretty obvious that you claim you've done something until you do something. Well, unless you're a teenage boy. This stems from past experiences. There is a huge, epic thread from the 2008 offseason (on the old Steeler forum) of Browns fans invading the Steelers forum and basically telling us that the Browns were on their way to owning the AFC North and the Steelers were fading into obscurity. I still remember many putting Phil Savage on a pedestal....even though most will now claim they never did so. In fairness, most of that group is now gone (I think), but I wonder if the Browns beat the Steelers once this year and finish 8-8 if we will see a repeat of 2008 come next offseason.....before waiting to see whether or not they have TRULY turned a corner.

You are likely to see some of that. At least you've been through it before so it shouldn't come as a surprise. If the tables were turned I'm sure it would be similar. When you are hungry you act differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
