Re: A look back at the 2008 draft
 

It is really hard to judge players coming out of college. Especially WRs. They face on average 2-3 decent/good DBs a year. In the NFL, they are going to face a good/excellent DB 15-16 times a year. College ball can easily make a average joe look stellar.

[quote=mooby;771338]Maybe he got traded? If he did I doubt it matters, it's not like he rejuvenated anybody's running game or scored a touchdown in like 8 straight games.[/quote]

Could you imagine the difference he could of made for our season? With him, you can have a poor OL like we do and still have a running game

Man I wish we had traded for him, especially with Shanny knowing him like he does. He had a decent season in Denver in '08, it's just Josh McDaniels didn't like him for w/e reason so he got sent to Cleveland. Now Cleveland is set at qb and rb with McCoy and Hillis for the next few years it looks like.

I would much rather have a guy like Hillis on our roster as opposed to Keiland Williams this season. No disrespect to K.Will but Hillis has really improved his stock this season.

Apples and oranges.. Hillis is more of a Torrain clone, power and the type that will wear you down.. Williams is a change of pace, blocking and receiving back..

True but I'd rather have both Torain and Hillis than Torain and Williams, just because Torain has injury issues. The point is moot anyways because I doubt Hillis will be leaving Cleveland any time soon.

Not do sure about that. Not taking away from him but the Browns have a very solid OL

Agree that they have a VERY solid Oline. In fact they seem to have a lot of nice pieces to build on, it is sad when the Browns might be closer to being a truly quality team than the Redskins. Oh well, you fall down so you can learn to get back up right? We will be dominate again!
