23-year old Mohamed Massaquoi burst onto the scene last season as a rookie for the Browns.  He played in 16 games (11 starts) in which he caught 34 passes for 624 yards (18.4 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  The Browns need Massaquoi to be more consistent in 2010.  He had a couple of games that he dominated last season but he also had a few games that you had to check the boxscore closely to see if he played.  He is really fast and can get deep but he needs to improve his concentration on the football.  Despite my nitpicking I fully believe that he could develop into a true #1 WR this season.

27-year old Joshua Cribbs makes most of his money on special teams but that might be about to change in 2010.  The Browns have him penciled in as a starting WR for 2010 heading into training camp.  Cribbs played in 16 games (all starts) for the Browns last season and he caught 20 passes for 135 yards (6.8 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He also carried the ball 55 times for 381 yards (6.9 ypc) with 1 TD run as the QB of the Wildcat Formation in which he is very dangerous.  Cribbs has now played in 77 games (17 starts) in his career with the Browns and he has caught 36 passes for 288 yards (8.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has also carried the ball 95 times for 620 yards (6.5 ypc) with 2 TD runs in his career.  Look for the Browns to move Cribbs all over the place this season to cause matchup problems for the opposing defenses.

26-year old Chansi Stuckey is penciled in as the #3 WR for the Browns heading into training camp.  Stuckey played in 15 games (3 starts) for the Browns & Jets last season and he caught 30 passes for 318 yards (10.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has now played in 30 games (5 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 62 passes for 677 yards (10.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  Stuckey has also carried the ball 3 times for 7 yards (2.3 ypc) in his career.  Stuckey is a possession type receiver.

22-year old Brian Robiskie was a huge disappointment for the Browns as a rookie last season.  He played in 11 games (1 start) for the Browns last season and he caught 7 passes for 106 yards (15.1 avg) without a TD.  The Browns gave glowing reports of how good Robiskie looked in OTAs but I will believe it when I see it.

Rookie Carlton Mitchell will give the Browns a big target as he is 6′3″, 215 pounds.  He was picked in the 6th round by the Browns out of South Florida.  Many draft experts had Mitchell going in the 2nd or 3rd round so the Browns might have a steal here.

37-year old Bobby Engram played quite a while for the Seahawks and Mike Holmgren.  That’s likely why he’s getting a chance to earn a job with the Browns this year.  Engram played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Chiefs last season and he caught 5 passes for 61 yards (12.2 avg).  Engram has now played in 176 games (113 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 650 passes for 7,751 yards (11.9 avg) with 35 TD grabs.  He will be a longshot to make the Browns’ opening day roster.

25-year old Syndric Steptoe is back for the Browns trying to win a job.  He played in 16 games (5 starts) for the Browns in 2008 and he caught 19 passes for 182 yards (9.6 avg).

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE WRs in 2010:  D

The Browns have signed a couple of free agents at TE over the off season and they have three of their own coming back.  29-year old Ben Watson will be the starter in 2010.  He played in 16 games (7 starts) for the Patriots last season and he caught 29 passes for 404 yards (13.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  He has now played in 71 games (47 starts) in his six years in the NFL and he has caught 167 passes for 2,102 yards (12.6 avg) with 20 TD grabs.  With the WR corps looking a tad weak for the Browns this could be the season that Watson catches more than 50 passes as he is a nice big target.

31-year old Robert Royal was the Browns starting TE before an injury ended his season early.  Royal played in 13 games (11 starts) for the Browns last season and he caught 11 passes for 134 yards (12.2 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He has now played in 95 games (77 starts) in his 7  years in the NFL and he has caught 123 passes for 1,215 yards (9.9 avg) with 13 TD grabs.  If healthy in 2010, Royal could be a asset to the offense.

28-year old Alex Smith was signed as a free agent over the off season.  He played in 16 games (5 starts) for the Eagles last season and he caught 3 passes for 25 yards (8.3 avg).  Smith has now played in 74 games (48 starts) in his five years in the NFL and he has caught 132 passes for 1,277 yards (9.7 avg) with 11 TD grabs.  Smith will have a very decent shot of winning a spot on the Browns this season.

25-year old Evan Moore burst onto the scene for the Browns late last season.  He was dominating in practice so the Browns finally promoted him to the active roster and he kept up the good work as a rookie.  Moore played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Browns last season and he caught 12 passes for 158 yards (13.2 avg).  He has good hands and the speed to get down the field.  The bottom line is that Moore deserves to make the Browns opening day roster.

27-year old Greg Estandia is going to have a hard time making the Browns unless he plays a lot on special teams.  Estandia played in 4 games (0 starts) for the Browns last season and he caught 4 passes for 45 yards (11.3 avg).  He has now played in 32 games (2 starts) in his three years in the NFL and he has caught 23 passes for 294 yards (12.8 avg).

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE BROWNS TEs in 2010:  B

The Browns have signed 37-year old WR Bobby Engram.  Engram played in 5 games for the Chiefs last season and he caught 5 passes for 61 yards (12.2 avg).  He has now played in 176 games in 14 years in the NFL and he has caught 650 passes for 7,751 yards (11.9 avg) with 35 TD grabs.  This was a solid move for the Browns who don’t have much experience at WR.
