"Never blocked a 'sole' "

Rucker hates shoes, man.

Congrats to Rucker. If the Browns go to the 2 TE set who are you going to cover?

He can't be too happy about it though, stuck behind one of the best young TE's in the game.

it pisses people off, but it is the right thing to do....now, it may be that their draft board is wrong...but that is a separate issue

True. But I cant imagine some of the guys they've passed on that were also positions of need didnt have high rankings.

Dang. There went McGlynn too...

Just for the record standing behind Dorsey, Rey Maualuga would be a superstar on our team.

Sorry to ask, but we only have 1 5th now?

eazyb81 · 04-27-2008, 10:27 AM

I have no doubt Rucker could fill a Marques Colston role if given the opportunity. He's not a stud blocker by any means, but the guy can catch and run with it.

Szott was a great value for a 7th rounder.

They gave it up in that move to get Albert.

Catching's overrated.

**banyon** · 04-27-2008, 10:27 AM

Cleveland traded NEXT YEAR's 3rd for Rucker.

**the Talking Can** · 04-27-2008, 10:28 AM

ChiefsCountry · 04-27-2008, 10:28 AM

Like I said before we have two young guys that looked good in limited duty last year - Rudy and Taylor.
