In my limited experience and knowledge the dropsies are very hard to coach out of a receiver. It’s not about any sort of raw athletic ability, its deeper, it’s cognitive, it’s about attention and sensory motor reactions. I’m no scout but dropsies in a receiver would be the equivalent of slow mental processing in a QB, a nearly uncoachable negative. Maybe someone who knows football better than I can point to an example a receiver known for drops (25%!?!?) who effectively changed. I think I’d rather have a sure handed, less athletic receiver than a dropsie super athlete any day.

j/c
I really haven't been surprised by any of the moves. I watched every down of every preseason game and I always try to consider who these guys are playing against. Often times they are lining up against second and third string players on other teams so the performances we are seeing get jaded by fans who are watching.
While I always liked Colquitt, you just can't turn your back on a leg like Gillan. At some point you have to look at positions from the perspective of long term. And with no risk comes no reward.
DeValve hasn't been able to stay on the field. So there's no surprise there for me. I saw the Braxton miller cut coming the day he came into camp. Was it possible he could make the team? I guess nothing is impossible, but it was close.
Sometimes, at least for me, it's more fun watching fans who think they know more than the FO second guessing and getting upset over the cuts than it is watching the actual process itself.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I think confidence played into his issues in Tennessee. If there is one thing Baker is great at, it is showing confidence. Maybe he just needed a change in scenery. Tennessee's offense was rather eclectic while he was there. I've got hope that Freddie can better emphasize his strengths.

Taylor is our fifth wide receiver (at best) when Callaway gets back. I am not worried about him at all.

Nope. So far, DeValve was the only guy we cut yesterday that has been picked up.

Nope, i think teams might wait for Colquitt until after week 1

I will miss DeValve. But I have been missing him on game day quite regularly for some time. Kizer wasn't great for him. I think he played hard when he dressed for games. Just a lot injured time.
I certainly wish him well.

He was better two years ago than he has appeared recently. It seems that he has hit a plateau, if not regressed, and when there are comparable players at the moment who are still ascending, they are the ones you keep. I really liked Coley going into last year's campaign. Unfortunately, he has been rather invisible since his injury last season. He's still a solid player, but he didn't have any flashes to make himself stand out.

He is more of a space eater NT type, and the Browns want penetrating DL at all 4 spots.

Exactly, it seems like we want our DTs to do more than just absorb blockers

Good for Coley; i’m Sure he was one of the tough cuts to make
