Zins30 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Why? It's seems to be pretty redundant. You can have him in and do the exact same things in a setting that you control? They are basically saying to them it adds no value. They will see everything they can see at a pro day without the player being able to control it. I guess its like saying "I'm having steak for dinner so I might as well skip the free buffet for lunch." There's probably something worthwhile you could grab at lunch that would help tide you over until dinner, but you're so excited about your dinner you pass up the freebie. Sure pro days are scripted but it seems absurd that they couldn't find some nugget of info that makes the trip worthwhile. Seems like an "I'm smarter than you move" when they haven't proven anything yet. Now if Belichick & co. started doing this it'd probably be hailed as the smartest move ever, but these guys have yet to prove anything of significance other than being hired by one of the most poorly run franchises of the last two decades...

Jason Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 You learn about the player on film. You learn about the person in person. Both are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khatmandude Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 So now this is going to be a huge deal? That the Browns didn't go to his pro day? The pro day that they will essentially reconstruct when they have him in for a private workout? Why is this even a story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zins30 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I thought they used up all their personal visits for the movie coming out? They're just taking cues form Kevin Costner. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 @nfl: Report: @houstontexans 'trying hard' to trade No. 1 pick http://t.co/PCNPp0r3dY Wow, now that would be interesting. Would you guys be willing to give up our #1, #2 and what do you figure #4 or 5 for Clowney? Obviously, the Texans have one of the QBs in mind at a lower pick so I doubt they would deal with us anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking this year's 1st, next year's 1st, a 2 or 3 this year and probably a 2 or 3 next year to get up there. It'd be way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most teams I would agree but we have a lot of young parts already in place minus maybe corner and LT. I would just love, for once, to have that terrifying defensive player on our team. Atkins is close and Tez is certainly trying to add his name to an almost blank Bengals list the last 15 years. Can you imagine the turmoil a healthy Atkins AND Clowney could cause a team? Can't step up, can't step back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would take an absolutely massive amount to move up that far. Two or 3 #1 picks and probably a couple #2 picks also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stated a thought. The Browns logic makes perfect sense. Shit that makes sense catches on.Why are you sending a bunch of people to a pro day when the guy is coming to your house anyway. You don't just do things because you always do them or everyone else is doing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
