Cleveland Browns. A+. player. 53. . .

Rounds

  1. WR Corey Coleman
  2. EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah
  3. EDGE Carl Nassib, OT Shon Coleman, QB Cody Kessler
  4. LB Joe Schoebert, WR Richardo Louis, S Derrick Kindred, WR/TE Seth Devalve
  5. WR Jordan Payton, OT Spencer Drango, WR Rashard Higgins, CB Trey Caldwell
  6. Traded
  7. Scooby Wright III

The Cleveland Browns traded back again and decided to select receiver Corey Coleman. The Browns should get Josh Gordon back in August, otherwise, I don’t think they would let him reapply. The speedy Coleman will be replacing Travis Benjamin to give the Browns a dangerous pair of receivers.

And with tight end Gary Barnidge, quarterback Robert Griffin III will have weapons to throw to. Also in the trade-back, the Browns got a bunch of draft picks to replace some of the guys they lost. With Cameron Erving ready to step in at center for Alex Mack, the Browns replaced Alex Mack.

And in the third round, the team replaced right tackle Mitchell Schwartz with Shon Coleman. It looks like the analytics department worked with Jackson on choosing the edge-rushers in the draft. Carl Nassib and Emmanuel Ogbah were No. 1 and No. 2 in sacks in the Nation last year.

They will get the opportunity to see if they can get the Browns not-so-good pass-rush going in 2016. The Browns secondary, which was ravaged by injuries in 2015, will get cornerback Joe Haden back. And suddenly, the defense and roster don’t look so bad so I’ll give the Browns high marks here.
