The Cleveland Browns suprised a few people when they took Brian Robiskie in the second round of the NFL Draft last week.  Robiskie was a good choice, but was that pick made too soon?  I feel that the former Buckeye is the kind of receiver who lasts awhile in the NFL.  He is a possession type receiver that will not have a bunch of catches of 50+ yards. 

What makes Brian Robiskie a solid receiver is his size and his great hands.  Robiskie is the guy who will run a slant and know he is going to get blasted, but try to make the catch anyway.  Robiskie is the Joe Jurivicius player the Browns need.

One of the arguments against taking Robiskie is that Cleveland owed his father something, so they took him pretty high.  This is a crock of crap.  Any Browns fan knows that management will not do anyone except themselves favors.  If they wholeheartedly felt Robiskie was going to be mediocre and semi-productive for a few years, they would not have wasted a pick on him.

I project Robiskie to score about ten touchdowns in the 2009 NFL season.  I am also saying he will be close to 1,000 yards receiving but may come up a hair short.  Much of his projection depends on the score as Cleveland passes more when down 20 or more, as well as, who the quarterback is.
