Trent Richardson Landing Spot (4 Viewers)

Assuming StL/CLE swap, StL goes Blackmon at 4. Jax would be beter served going DE at 7.

They could just as easily take Claiborne or Kalil at 4 depending on the Vikings. The trade scenario in general is just wishful thinking on my end.Tampa will screw it up regardless. It doesn't seem like they've made a decent draft pick in 10 years.

Cincinatti is the ideal landing spot. Perfect piece for that offense. Good young QB, WR and potentially the best RB in the draft.
The defense there is already solid.
Tampa has Blount. It wasnt his fault they sucked last year. That coaching staff was garbage. Give him another chance.

Cinci could be dangerous if they add Trent Richardson and Kendall Wright to pair up with Andy Dalton, AJ Green, Jermaine Gresham, Jordan Shipley and a solid D.
Carl Eller's Dead Liver
Footballguy
This was my exact thought. I agree, Cincinatti would be so tough to stop with TRich. The passing game would protect Richardson and vice versa.

This seems most likely. At this point, they just need to jump ahead of the Jets. Not mortgage everything. Just go up a few spots.

Yes, Cinci could be extremely dangerous on offense if they had the peices you just said. Unfortunately, Cinci is going into the season with almost NOTHING at CB. Hall is not going to be recovered from his injury and Clements is going to be 33 yrs old. I would be shocked if Cinci didn't walk away with a CB with their 1st round picks.

Agreed. Jacksonville is going to take the BPA at #7 pretty much regardless of whichever position it is. Jacksonville has quite a few needs and will matchup a need with BPA at #7. The only way the Jaguars move up is if Andrew Luck or RB3 fall down the draft into the #5 spot.

With the Redskins trade, TRich to Cleveland is a very real possibility again.

My gut tells me they will take Claiborne to maintain their elite pass defense. Richardson will be tough for them to pass on though.Richardson to the Rams is looking quite possible now.

In today's NFL, that's a great idea'cstu said:

I dont think the Browns can pass on Richardson now they need a elite player in that offense. I do wonder if Matt Flynn will be in to visit anytime soon.

Still hoping he goes to Cincy. Personal preference is Cincy>TB>Jets>Cleveland. Although if Flynn goes to Cleveland, their line is pretty good, maybe Cleveland wouldn't be THAT bad for Richardson.

I think the chances are slim that he falls out of the top 5 now. Unless Cleveland desides to go with Blackmon, Claibourne and Richardson will be the 4 and 5 picks, but who knows which goes where.
I did ask him. He told me that in 2010 when the Browns passing offense was bottom-5 in the NFL (28th in attempts, 29th in yards, 30th in passing TDs), he gained almost 1600 total yards, averaged 4.4 YPC, and scored 13 TDs. Then he told me that in 2011 when their passing offense improved (slightly), he had a craptastic year.So basically he told me that the Browns O-line can allow a RB to be successful, even if the Browns passing game is anemic.

I think he ends up in Cleveland at #4 and then Cleveland takes either an OL or QB at 22(Tanny).

Reports are that Richardson will be working out for NFL teams tomorrow (3/29)

What is the 225# record for a RB?

I thought I read it was 32 for a RB...but higher including FB.

Lorenzo Neal. Collegiate RB turned pro FB.Think he did like 36 back in the day.

As good as Richardson may or may not be, I feel that the Bengals will stay where they are and draft BPA. They have been very patient in the draft over the last couple of years and it has worked very well. My thoughts are that they go CB-OL or CB-S(if Barron is available). If Richardson is there, They will take him. I said the same thing when Sjax was available and they passed to take Perry

So is cleveland considered a good landing spot?

If they pick him that high you can bet he will be the feature back so I would think so.

Anyone else want to make guesses. I think he will have good jumps but don't follow the numbers enough.

he looks great for being at 70% or so. i'm not sure if he did a 3 cone or least they didn't show it on espnu, but he did some agility type stuff cutting through cones relatively unhindered. running passing routes and in/out of breaks looked good as well.
he was doing blocking drills and he knocked over a cleveland browns scout who was holding up a blocking pad - the guy had to be about 250-300lbs - quite impressive actually.

Not that is life or death but thought he would show more strength than he did. The 4.5-4.6 is the range I anticipated for the 40.

FWIW Earnest Byner, Bucs' RB coach, is/was directing the drills.

Today I think he cemented his draft status where he doesn't get out of the top 5. I expected more than 25 but that is still great for a RB.Maybe he's dogging it cuz he doesn't want to go to Cleveland or Tampa, and he's hoping he falls to the end of the first to be with a good team

But it's not great for him, though. Can't he max over 500 lbs?Today I think he cemented his draft status where he doesn't get out of the top 5.

pro day numbers will vary scout to scout it seems... i think anywhere in that range is great for a guy who's currently at about 70/75% health according to what was said. he looked good in the drills...
a video of him tossing the browns scout lol

That video is hilarious. He pancaked the 1st guy, sent the 2nd guy 2 feet into the air and was basically laughed at the 3rd guy.

I came across this while watching that video of him pushing the tackling pad guy over.
Watch from 4:57 through the end and prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor. That's definitely the most impressed I've been from one of those highlight vids other than maybe Adrian Peterson.
