Your newest Browns TE ......

A leaked photo shoot of the newest LeBron commercial in production.

Can you imagine how good he's be as a TE ...... but I prefer he sticks to hoops.

Interestingly, NBA great, John Havlicek (OSU), was drafted by the Browns in 1962 and spent a summer camp trying out at wide receiver. He went on to win 8 championships playing for the Celtics.

Completely hypothetically speaking, if Lebron enters the 2009 draft, is he not a guaranteed 1st round pick? Top 15?

If Matt Jones can be drafted in the first round as a WR, I think there’s no doubt that he’s taken in the top half of the first round.

Of course. Any time you get the ball inside the 20, just toss it up in the end zone and it would be a sure TD. Can you imagine 5’11" DB’s trying to cover him? Impossible. I would love to watch him play football for just one game, to see how great he could be.

I would pull a Ditka and trade everything for LeBron if my team was at least 8-8 the year prior.

He could play pretty much anything he wanted. DE, OT if he tried to gain weight, TE, WR, RB, QB, FS, SS….

I was looking up the details of that Saints’ trade and came across this gem regarding Browns’ draft:

Cleveland. This team continues to build a fine foundation. The Browns could eventually get seven starters from last weekend, including five draft picks (QB Tim Couch, WR Kevin Johnson, LB Rahim Abdullah, CB Daylon McCutcheon and S Marquis Smith) and two veteran acquisitions (DE Derrick Alexander and FB Marc Edwards). Grade: A+

And the rest is history.

Baltimore. Chris McAlister represented an outstanding value with the 10th pick. Don’t forget, the Ravens also received a No. I pick next year in return for their second-rounder, and Scott Mitcheil for their third-rounder. Phil Savage, who lines up the board for the Ravens with the best of them, was wise to take a seventh-round flyer on S Anthony Poindexter. Grade: A-

This is a constant argument with my roomate and I.

I believe that if LeBron decided to play in the NFL, he would be the best player of all-time (assuming he stayed mostly injury free).

I think that he would run at LEAST a 4.4 maybe lower. He is Randy Moss with an extra 90 LBs. You couldn’t jam him at the line and he would need to be triple covered at all times.

With a decent QB his team would average at least 35pts a game easy. I’m guessing 100 catches, 1800 yards and 20 TD’s a year.

I’m pretty sure Lebron would be successful, but those numbers are kind of silly.

Randy Moss

2007; 98 catches, 1500 yards and 23 TD’s. That is a 30 year old Moss. Maybe it is a little high but it is possible for freak of natures.

You’re right…30 TD’s is a little more reasonable.

Think about 5’9" 190lb. CBs trying to cover 6’9" 275 (285?)lb. LeBron.

What is silly now?

Well, first you’re making a silly assumption that that teams wouldn’t adjust their defense to him and keep sticking 5’9", 190lb guys on him.

This is silly: Averaging 100 catches, 1800 yards, and 20 TDs per season.

In relation to the league leader each year:

2008- 15% below leader (would rank 4th) in catches, 14% above leader (1st) in yardage, 67% above leader in TDs (1st)

(abbreviating descriptions)
2007- 11% below (6th), 19% above (1st), 13% below (2nd)

2006- 3% below (2nd), 31% above (1st), 54% above (1st)

2005- 3% below (5th), 15% above (1st), 67% above (1st)

I’ll stop there. The yardage numbers are insane in their own right.

I never denied that Lebron’s physical stature and abilities wouldn’t mesh in the NFL world. But those kind of average numbers are silly to assume for a man who would simply go out there and try to outjump others. Maybe he could throw that up in his first year and shock the league. By year two, defensive coordinators would be throwing their backup TEs out there in coverage against him to combat his size/strength advantage.

Assuming that Lebron would would put up those numbers with ease because of his physical stature is akin to assuming that Manute Bol would have been a terrific player on FG block attempts.

I could definately see that. I don’t know about the yards, but he’d have a lot of TD’s. He’d be pretty much unstoppable on any jump-ball in the end zone. Just get it within the 20 and throw it up to LeBron — sure TD. You’d need at least 3 defenders to stop him, then you’d have other open receivers. I would love to see him play in the NFL just for one game to see what he could do.

I’d love to see how many FG blocks he would get. The other team would have a hard time converting any long distance kicks, because his jumping ability would easily block many of those low line drive kicks needed for 45+ yard attempts.

Of course that would mean our defense would need to stop all of those 4th and 3 attempts and the 35 yard line. Not sure we’d be up to that task.

You saw the commercial, right?

He leaped so much higher than all the other players in that commercial. I think they made sure the rest of the players in that shot were 5’10" or shorter to make LeBron look like he has super-human jumping abilities.
