A 2nd round pick on a guy who sat out all of last year? That seems to be a little high, granted the Browns needed a weapon for their aging rookie QB.

This is not a surprise. They are weak at WR, but even NOW they reached, since this guy was a 3rd round talent at best due to multiple drug charges and off-field issues.

HOWEVER, many in the local media here think he's the second coming because of his size and speed.

There's a reason they finish last and we win Super Bowl's...

His career is already over before it even started.

This should be a warning to all college players. Straighten up and don't do drugs or your will go to Cleveland...in the supplemental draft. That's worse than stepping in a fresh pile of dog shit in bare feet.

Great pick up by the Browns. He probably wouldve been a second rounder he's that good.

This should get the Browns to the promise land:

the kids played 15 games in college sounds like a huge reach

Glad to have the Clowns in our division

Just curious why this thread was even started if this guy had no potential.

The kid has plenty of potential. He screwed up at a religious school that has a zero tolerance policy. Could be a really good pick for the Stains.

I heard they want him to contribute right away but those are high expectations for a guy who hasn't played football in a year.

I agree. That's asking a bit much. He's a little raw to contribute right away. Its not like they have an All-Pro QB though, so it may not be too much of a gamble to throw him in right away. That's one heck of a work load though.

A) He has a LOT of baggage, and may be a headcase
B) Cleveland does not have a strong locker room
C) He now has millions of dollars

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure, but I think this post *may* be a bit sarcastic. ;)

If he would have played this upcoming season at a lower level (D1AA/FCS) he would have probably been a second round pick. He went to a Christian college with a zero-tolerance policy and they kicked him out.

The Browns have watched a lot of video on him. Remember they drafted Phil Taylor in the 2011 draft, so they got video of Gordon then. Last year before the Redskins moved up to #2 to take RG3, the Browns were scouting him so they saw video of the kid then too.

This kid has the potential to be very, very good....or he could be a bust. I think they could have gotten him in the 3rd round.

And they showed a lot of interest in Kendall Wright.

Still, a 2nd round pick is very high. Hasn't happened since 2003.
