So how do we all feel about Braxton in the draft?
Developmental still. But getting this year to start the transition is HUGE for him. So talented with the ball. I hope he goes to a situation where they can afford to be patient with him, because he could be special in the NFL.
I really don't think he'll need that much time (Standard 3 years for WR). He is already building himself a pretty good foundation. The one thing I'm most impressed about is how he makes an effort to always catch the ball with his hands. I honestly think we should strongly consider drafting him in the 2nd and absolutely if he's there in the 3rd. Though I think he'll be a first rounder after the Combine.
I would never be against drafting that kind of talent. I guess it depends on what this team thinks of Josh Gordon and if they cut the cord immediately (they can't do so during a suspension right?) I tend to think they will give him one last chance, because the nature of this recent suspension is pretty weak.
I guess even then, you could go and take him or another WR.
It could be the makings of a nice group. JG12, Benjamin with good complimentary guys like Gabriel, Hawk. If that worked out like that way, and the Browns are stable at QB, that is the kind of situation I talk about when bringing in Braxton Miller. They could really ease him into a situation like that. That would be a fun group. Plus you could work in obvious trick plays with Braxton throwing the ball.
I do worry about him getting hurt at the NFL, but man he's gifted.
