No there won't, because most of the owners that get him early are overly invested. Unless they get desperate with other roster spots/injuries, Callaway is the kind of bolt of lightning they all see as a potential season winner ala Tyreek Hill.strong said:

Absolutely. Stash until Baker is called upon, which should be no later than week 8/9.
I agree he had first round talent. Similar to a Jalen Mills situation. Eagles took him 7th round but he was a 3rd round possible sleeper 2nd round talent if you subtract the character issues.
Don't rookie WR's see less time on running plays anyway since their blocking skills aren't there yet? I think Urban Meyer is a complete scumbag of the earth but one of the great things he did at Florida was his WR's learned how to block for the run game.
Were we watching the same game? This play was awful. Did Tyrod under throw him? Yes. It happens. Good players go up and get the ball or at least fight the DB off to avoid the INT (didn't get picked in this case, but it can happen). He tried to catch it in his lap. Tyrod even motioned to him after the play how she should have used his hands.
I think Tyrod was scapegoating him a bit, as it was a very bad throw. That said, I agree that Callaway could have come back a bit on the ball, and is going to have to have more of a "my ball" mentality like his counterpart Landry if he wants to be heavily targeted going forward. Your points on proper route running is also fair - the key is whether he fine tunes his game or he becomes, as you say, another Sammie Coates/Cordarelle Patterson/Dorial Green-Beckham/Donte Stallworth with speed to burn but not much else.FF Ninja said:
It was definitely under thrown, but I wouldn't call it a very bad throw. A very bad throw is when the WR has no shot at it. Any time a WR has a chance to make a ~50 yard reception, it's a good enough throw. (A perfect throw and he's walking in a 75 yard TD, but most teams are still happy with a 50 yard play). You'd like to think the WR can win a 50/50 ball with a DB. A good WR at least tries to high point it. His hand positioning was just awful on that one. While people in here might be willing to overlook it and blame it on the QB, I guarantee you he's getting a mouthful in the WR room today.
have the Browns stated that Mayfield is starting from here on out?Ojaays said:
No. Hue Jackson said he'd have to "look at the tape" before coming to any decision. Everyone assumes Mayfield will take control of the offense, but he hasn't been named starter yet.
This is going a little too far for me. Sure they’ll hopefully discuss with him going up for that ball but on the inside they’re probably salivating at the thought of how he could have easily had 2 layup tds if there were half decent throws. That’s 3 times in 2 weeks he’s gotten behind the defense with ease. That’s a good sign. I’d strongly disagree also that yesterday was a bad game for him. It’s 99% Tyrod’s fault that wasn’t a big play td. And largely Tyrod’s fault that he didn’t get a long td on the first drive as well. He tried to adjust to that awful throw and could/should have drawn a flag. Speaking of which, he drew at least 2 other flags from the secondary and I think he may have had a 3rd. And he drew one from Lattimore the previous week. Those are like first down receptions in the coaches minds.
I think it is just wishful thinking to put 99% on Tyrod. That pass went about 58 yards in the air. If a pass is off by 2 yards, the WR needs to come get it. Even good QBs don't always hit their guys in stride and I guarantee coaches would rather have a ball thrown a couple yards less and end up with a 50 yard reception than have it overthrown and lose a down. (of course they don't want several yards under thrown for an INT)
