Updated: Browns Select WR Josh Gordon in 2nd Round

i would really like to hear what Griff says about the kid, but i honestly think we have a sleeper at wr in Lance Lewis on the roster already

LOL yeah they were more serious about that one than I thought. Got that one wrong for sure

But hey, I did say they were very serious about Kirk Cousins after seeing him at the Senior Bowl

Hahaha. I don't doubt you are right about Gordon. I just don't see them actually getting him, either. But I heard someone mentioned that Hankerson wasn't healing right and may not be up to speed this season, so it has me wondering...

Last I heard about Hankerson was that he should be 100% for training camp and that they were just bringing him along slowly in minicamps. Has there been any news to the contrary?

It might not be a reliable source, but someone on Hogs Haven said this:

Well WR is a definitely a need.
Long story short from a DR buddy in N. VA, Hanks labrum hasn’t healed properly and there is concerns that he may never be “right”. So I’m not expecting anything from him this year. He also told me some Cooley stuff that I wish I could share but I’m afraid of a Rodskin’s type of incident.

RG3 is pushing the Redskins brass hard to land Gordon in tomorrow's draft. Many teams interested, about 20 at Gordon's pro day Tues...

So based on JLC's track record, we probably have zero interest in Gordon.

hahahaha I was waiting for someone to say that.


Yeah the funny thing I'll always remember about JLac is that he always broke the latest big news the last. And the news he broke was always the "huh?" reaction news from the fans. Example:

Jlac: The Minnesota Vikings have announced that they have signed CFL Defensive player of the year Solomian Eliminian.


Fans: Huh? Who?

----

Jay glazer: the redskins will be trading 3 first round picks to the st. louis rams for the #2 pick and RG3.

Adam Schefter, Rob Rang, Peter King, John Theismann, RG3, every skins fan: Redskins have traded for robert griffin...

JLac, 2 days later: My sources are saying that the redskins will trade for robert griffin...

I really don't think we're all that serious about adding him....and interesting sig you've got there


I was wrong about picking 6th, but in this instance it doesnt make a difference for us as well still pick before Dal, Phil, and NYG.

Thanks for noticing! No affiliation. I just love current events.

Someone posted a link to an interview where 3 questions (not question 3) were asked to Griffen about Gordon.

Griffen's answears were all positive but not overly positive like you might expect from a young rookie who wants to add a former teammate. Griffen is in a tough spot and spoke like a leader should by not alienating anyone yet staying positive. It seems its tough to get a good read out of a good QB regarding their personal feelings on team "operations" type stuff. But im sure behind closed doors the FO is well aware of what Griff thinks about Gordon.

we dont have the luxury to use a pick on this guy
