Browns doing Browns things, can Marty poach another TE?

giving up a 3rd for a 1st round talent like Greg obviously was huge.  But I just don't feel Njoku is on his level.  I don't know much about him, but I think we need our 3rd this simply for contract length.  

Would an early 4th get him?  4 and a 7th?

It's gonna be very hard finding someone on Olsen's level. Not being on Olsen's level isn't exactly a knock on a TE.

Remind me: Didn't we have a chance to draft Kittle?

Well, he was a 5th round pick so every team had numerous opportunities to draft him.

Well yeah, but we have the best  recognizer of college talent in the NFL.

Njoku is a first round talent, but Greg is a borderline HOFer.  We got Greg at a steal, there's no denying that.  The Bears simply had no idea what they were giving up and if so, would have asked for a 1st.  Njoku is worth a 3rd rounder, but Cleveland asking for anything more would be a bit rich for my taste.

Yes, I was pounding the drum for him starting in the 3rd round that draft

Pretty much this. One HC contract pretty much sets you up for life.

It's like free money.

Well, apparently Tepper thinks Hurney is one of the best recognizers of coaching talent in the league as well.

Rapoport just stated that "Marty" is heavily involved in our coaching search.

You can now officially color me highly nervous about our future.

Hayden Hurst who was the first pick (Lamar their 2nd first round pick) of the Ravens last year is an intriguing one. He was injured most of his rookie year. Lamar and Mark Andrews proceeded to establish great chemistry and have continued this year. Raven's are probably the only team that can confidently run three TE sets because all three can catch and run routes pretty well. Hayden still shows great flashes of what he was in South Carolina. I think he just need more reps. Andrews is just ballin in that team though and Nick Boyle is their primary blocking TE.
