Quote: I guess I'd take Blackmon ahead of Richardson, but I'd be a little worried about his temper/attitude. Being a hot tempered individual can be a good thing, but on a team that loses often and with a QB that can't get you the ball, it can turn into a problem quickly.
We would just have to rely on our proven veteran WRs to help him keep his attitude in check.. guys like... ummm... uhhh.. help me out here.
Loved watching him for the past few years. A lock to be a Pro-Bowl WR a few years down the road.
The Browns could use those type of guys at every position. For me I'd rather get a top flight FA WR like Vincent Jackson than use this pick on one. We're really young as a position group there and I'd personally rather get a guy who can lead that group than draft one.
I'd rather spend valuable draft picks on the correct QB/RDE/CB/WLB than burn one on a young WR.
If we draft him I'm all for it though and will be happy. I love me some Blackmon.
People keep wanting to compare him to Green..I see two different players..I like Blackmon..he plays big and thats what I like..he has game speed ,is physical and just the wideout the Browns can use..now Michael Floyd may be better polished but I like Blackmons game a lot.

well, you don't have to be a superstar to be a leader. Cribbs has shown that he can keep his attitude in....well, he's at least playful with his attitude
Exciting? Sure. But I am sick of thinking "please don't fumble the ball" or man I hope Hillis plays this week, etc... One good season in 4 isn't worth a whole to me.

Speaking of Hardesty, I keep hoping for a breakout from him and I just didn't see anything close to that. Good kid, I"m sure he's a hardworker but with the same line, a healthty Hillis racks up yards, Hardesty doesn't. What's that tell you?
Given that he was drafted by the Browns under this regime, I suspect he'll get at least one more year.. hope it works out better than the last two. But I wouldn't count on it.

So what you're saying is that Blackmon is a good WR?

I think he's saying that Blackmon is so good that he can solve or RB issues too

Don't want to get off topic, but I try not to judge a RB too harshly the first year back from major knee surgery. Next year we'll see if he lost his burst/explosion for good. Either way, I have no confidence in his ability to stay healthy, so I don't think he's long for this team anyway.
Warren Moon: Blackmon is Dez Bryant with 'brain cells'
By Reid Cherner, USA TODAY
Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon is a fan of Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon and had a unique comparison to explain his talent.
"He's a beast isn't he?" Moon told 710 AM's Kevin Calabro. "He's like Dez Bryant with all his brain cells....he has all the skills Dez Bryant has but he's not the knucklehead that Dez Bryant turned out to be with Dallas. He's a better route runner than Dez Bryant. A very tremendous talent."
Warren Moon is hilarious. The comments were really necessary but from hearing from Cowboys fans.. Dez Bryant really doesn't have it all.. not only off the field.. but on the field too.. saying that he doesn't know the playbook and if they change offensive coordinators he is in trouble bc he'll have to try and learn a new playbook.
we may get Flynn in FA, so Blackmon would be a consideration.
Colts may not want to trade Luck and someone may pay more than we are willing to trade up to get RGIII. So, Blackmon would be a consideration.
and, I love how Warren Moon uses the Houston v. Dallas hatred in his comparison (since he's a former Oiler). Definitely going to rile some folks up and I think that's funny.
