Its a great start to the draft.

Manziel could go either way,Texans looking good to get Bridgewater and Clowney.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Great move by the Vikes. Hope Arno is chuffed.

[Lee909]

Browns get Marquis Lee at R3 pick 3 maybe

Very possible.

 

Rumours of Carlos Hyde and Suo-Filo there as well.

 

I'd take the guard personally.

 

Anyway, gonna get some shut eye. Goodnight everyone.

Bills just traded WR Stevie Johnson to 49ers for their 2015 4th round pick ! Ouch.

 

More good news for the Browns though cos that considerably weakens Buffalo imo, meaning a higher 2015 1st round pick for us.

 

Strange one that thoughk, I think Johnson is a good player. Would be interested in Odris' take on the trade...

[Lee909]

Could become a third rounder.

It his constant injuries that is the knock on him,i dont think its a bad trade as such but not getting the picks till next year is a bad idea.

Josh Gordon facing a season long suspension, haha. Only the Browns.

[Lee909]

Just about to post that,all the talent but a fucking moron.

Surely they have to grab Marquis Lee now

 

 

 

Josh Gordon faces suspension

Brownss wide receiver Josh Gordon could face a season-long suspension after a second failed drug test months ago, this time for marijuana, sources told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" on Friday.

Reached by phone Friday afternoon, Gordon said: "That's something you're going to have to talk to [agent] Drew Rosenhaus about. I really don't know anything about it."

 

"

 

Asked whether he planned an appeal of his suspension and test, Gordon said, "I'm going to have to find out about that later. You need to call Drew," before hanging up.

Rosenhaus declined to comment but said the information was "not true."

The 23-year-old Gordon was expected to the top target for Brian Hoyer or rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel this upcoming season.

Gordon, who was suspended without pay for two games and two additional game checks for his first violation of the league's policy, led the Browns with 87 receptions and had nine touchdowns last season. He led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards and became the first player with consecutive 200-yard receiving games.

He said last year's suspension was the result of using cough syrup that contained codeine -- a banned substance.

Two sources told "Outside the Lines" on Friday that Gordon's latest violation is the result of marijuana being found during a drug test. One source said that Gordon received a letter in early winter from a league physician stating he had failed a test. A second letter, informing Gordon that he faced a 16-game suspension but had the right to appeal, was sent in late April.

Gordon had drug-testing problems in college as well. He was dismissed from the team at Baylor after being suspended twice for marijuana use. He transferred to Utah but didn't play there after failing another drug test.

Gordon is considered the star on an offense that added Manziel on Thursday night with the 22nd selection in the first round of the draft.

Prior to the draft, Gordon pushed behind the scenes for the Browns to take Manziel.

"I think I was just a big fan of his overall game, his prowess on it," Gordon said Friday on "SVP & Russillo" on ESPN Radio, before OTL reported the substance abuse policy violation. "His outlook on it. His fire and ambition and will to win was greater than I think any other prospect in the draft.

"Despite all the mixed reviews and the media downsizing him, his perseverance seemed to be a lot greater than that. I saw something a lot deeper than just his talent that could take us to the next level."

[Carvalho Diablo]

What a fucking tit.

[BCM]

The Browns seem to be cursed

[Carvalho Diablo]

Still unconfirmed so I'm clinging to a small hope that it's media bullshit, but what a fucking tit.

 

Gordon must rank up there as possibly the best WR in the game, behind Megatron ? And that's our draft board out the window ? Farmer played an absolute blinder last night but will his plan to take an OG now be skewed into drafting Marquise Lee instead ? Or is it a cunning plan to get other WR hungry teams to trade with us...when we were gonna take the guard all along ?

 

What. a. fucking. TIT

[Lee909]

You could nab Lee or move back in for somebody like Morcrief or Mtthews who are the bigger body receivers like Gordon.

Maybe take twoone this round and move back into the second and take another

 

 

If Julio Jones could stay fit id have him over Gordon but he is one of the top 5-10 WR around

[Lee909]

Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon careers must be close to over(assuming this sticks) before the even began

[Lee909]

Hearing Nix could go HOU at 33, Lee at 35, Carr at 36 (Dallas could trade up for pass rush here. Amaro or pass rusher at 37. Su'a-Filo 38

NFL on ESPN ‏@ESPNNFL 2m

Chris Mortensen says on ESPN that the Browns front office were aware Josh Gordon was facing a season-long suspension 2 weeks ago.

[Lee909]

Chris Mortensen ‏@mortreport  42s

Sources: Browns coaching staff not aware until @OTLonESPN report about 90 minutes ago. That's policy. Gordon gets due process with appeal.

[Lee909]

One of the Browns 2015 first round picks

[BCM]

Cowboys trade up for Redskins first pick of the draft and lose a 3rd round pick of this draft

[Lee909]

Lawrence

[BCM]

Browns have passed on a wide receiver took a tackle

[Lee909]

They can get a better value receiver later

[Lee909]

The Raiders have selected Derek Carr

[Carvalho Diablo]

Love the Browns pick. Bitonio will start at OG for us from day 1. Seahawks loved him apparently. Makes me wonder about these Gordon rumours though. Would like us to draft Abberides later on.

 

Nice pick from the Raiders.

[BCM]

Dearth of Running backs this year ?

[Lee909]

Abberderis is a slot guy and cant see it with Hawkins,he also have concussion issues

Better getting Adams,Matthews or Morcrief
