Gordon looks like he's still a stud, I don't think Cleveland would give him up even if they entertained some offers.
Not much we can really do at the position at this point. Just have to accept it's going to be an area of weakness this year. Hopefully somebody steps up and is better than anticipated. Definitely going to be a big need to address next off-season.

Trade for a wide receiver?

This. This team isnt contending for anything. Evaluate the young players that you have and cut and replace as needed in the offseason once youve seen these guys in Kelly's scheme.
Still need OK WR's to evaluate the offense. Don't need Gordon for that, just anyone better than Patton.

Why bother drafting at all? Just trade away all the picks for troubled players.
I'd much rather have a Deshaun Watson, Myles Garrett, Luke Falk or Leonard Fournette over Josh Gordon.
It may work better than the all ACL team.

Are Moss, Ochocinco, and TO still available? They would be an upgrade over what we have.

They are defense. I'm talking about offense.

Jackson get's his backup and possible starter if or when RG3 goes down. Everyone is happy as long as Josh can stay away from weed.
Sign and trade.
Gabbert may end up looking good with our o-line, Hyde, T Smith and Gordon.

How do you know how Patton or any of the other WRs will do in a vastly different offense? I want that crystal ball.

True, sometimes all a guy needs is consistent snaps. I don't think Patton is anything special, but even a guy like Kerley was once able to post a 56 catch 800+ yard stat line by getting playing time, and I don't see him as necessarily being a better player than Patton or Ellington.

Davis was defense? Iupati?
By your logic Ozzie Newsome should never have drafted Joe Flacco or Torrey Smith because he had whiffed on offensive players far worse than Baalke ever has.

I've seen Patton play enough to know he'd be the third WR at best on most teams.

Actually I believe because of the suspension his contract moves over another year. Could be wrong but I believe he has two years remaining.

That is fine and dandy but I feel like this coaching staff wants to see what they have first rather than taking your word for it.
I think anyone expecting some big dramatic move this late in the preseason will be disappointed.

I would like a trade for Justin Hunter of the Titans or maybe Jaelen Strong of the Texans. A bigger body but young also could work in Chip Kelly's offense. Sucks Smelter has been hurt & Eric Rogers tore his ACL before we could see what we had with them
