Good news for the Seahawks because when healthy he was one of the best receivers in the NFL and they already have one of the best WR corps in the game with Lockett, Metcalf, Moore, and Olsen.

Welcome back Gordon!

]]> Browns’ Receiver Josh Gordon Takes Another Hit… No Pun Intended http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2014/06/browns-receiver-josh-gordon-takes-another-hit-pun-intended.html Sun, 01 Jun 2014 06:42:48 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=6617 Unfortunately, beloved Cleveland Brown receiver, Josh ‘Flash’ Gordon, has reappeared in the news with his name AGAIN related to marijuana. On Memorial Day, Gordon was pulled over for going 74mph in 60mph zone. However, the speeding was insignificant compared to the marijuana found in Gordon’s Mercedes. The passenger inside Gordon’s vehicle whole-heartedly claimed possession of the marijuana, but nonetheless this incident just diminishes Gordon’s chances of having his 2014-2015 season long suspension withdrawn.

The Cleveland Browns have high hopes for rebuilding the franchise. Whether it is Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer quarterbacking the Browns’ offense, both potential quarterbacks would love to have Josh Gordon as their target. It is sort of ridiculous that Gordon led NFL in receiving last year, even though he served a two game suspension. Last season he totaled 1,646 yards, which beat the second most leading receiver, Antonio Brown, by 147 yards. In fact, the second leading wide receiver on the Browns, Greg Little, totaled 465 yards last season, which is a diminutive 28% of Gordon’s total yards.

Not only does Josh Gordon’s potential absence directly impact the Browns, his absence indirectly impacts fantasy football owners – especially in keeper leagues. Despite sitting out weeks one and two of last season, Gordon averaged 13.8 points a week for fantasy owners. After the Browns’ week ten bye-week, Gordon went on a hot streak and averaged 20 points to close out his monstrous season. I was fortunate enough to have Josh Gordon on my team last season, and I was tremendously grateful for Gordon carrying my team some weeks.

It would be a shame to see Josh Gordon’s career be halted because of poor personal decisions. It would not be the type of ‘flash’ that Josh Gordon would want to be remembered for.

 

 

]]> Browns Select Baylor WR Josh Gordon in Supplemental Draft http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/07/browns-select-baylor-wr-josh-gordon-in-supplemental-draft.html Sat, 14 Jul 2012 17:40:17 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=3653 The supplemental draft is where teams look like geniuses or look like they are making moves just to make them. I think the selection of Josh Gordon by the Browns has the potential to look like a genius move.

Using a second round pick, the Browns got a WR who probably would have went in the same range in the 2012 NFL Draft and also got him without having to trade anything in the process. They will forfeit their 2013 second round pick for Gordon.

The selection gives the Browns a WR nucleus of Gordon, Greg Little, and rookie Travis Benjamin to go with their rookie QB Brandon Weeden and rookie RB Trent Richardson. In four years this draft could be looked upon as the one that turned it around for the Browns.
