Browns cuts included a third-round pick – Travis Wilson, Too, a veteran lineman – Lennie Friedman — was placed on injured reserve. LB Kris Griffin and TE Darnell Dinkins made the roster, so their injuries must not be serious. Same with WR Syndric Steptoe. But there are only five receivers – Braylon Edwards, Donte Stallworth, Joshua Cribbs and Paul Hubbard. How Hubbard made it over Steve Sanders is an interesting question, but clearly after the first two wideouts there is a great drop in experience and proven ability. Seems that Kellen Winslow will be the Browns “third wideout” in passing downs. Either that or the Browns will be scouring the waiver wire for another receiver.

For the final roster, go here.

Some other observations:

• It appears Seth McKinney will start at right guard. GM Phil Savage indicated Rex Hadnot and Ryan Tucker will not be ready to play in the opener. This is a spot where having veteran depth could pay off. If McKinney is hurt, though, there could be trouble in Crooked River City. The backup is Nathan Bennett, who was out of football last year.
• Savage indicated Derek Anderson will be ready to start the opener.
• Savage downplayed the third receiver issue, pointing out how little Tim Carter contributed a year ago. He's got a point. Kellen Winslow pretty much serves as the third wideout. It can work again. It's just that the depth at the spot is paper thin.
• A lot is always said when a high draft pick is released. Clearly Travis Wilson did not live up to the draft spot. But just as clearly it's good to cut your losses and, if he's not working out, let him go. Would the Browns have been better off drafting someone else? Of course. But that can be said about just about every draft pick ever taken. There's always somebody better. At least they recognize the mistake.
• In truth, this is always a good day. It means that the practice stuff is over, the roster is set (for now) and the games mean something.
