Besides the season itself the Draft is my favorite part of the year. Not because as a Browns fan that we are always picking in the top 10 but because of what can happen and looking back at what should have happened.
Unfortunately I believe we are going to be picking in the top 3-4 in the draft next year. Jacksonville will be up there as well as possibly Oakland and the Jets.
We are definitely going QB with our first overall pick. If we go that direction then hopefully it is at least Boyd or Bridgewater. We could probably trade down and still get McCarron if the team wanted to go that direction. Could take a chance and see if Manziel falls to the late 2nd (we would use our 3rd picks to get back into the 2nd) or to the 3rd. I DO NOT want Manziel but I'm not the one making decisions so we have to put his name in here because it is a possibility. Not sure about the Oregon QB.
With the second pick I wouldn't be suprised if we go OG, CB, RB or WR. Gipson seems like he is doing an adequate job with the FS position. If our OGs can get healthy and stay healthy then we may be able to focus on other areas of need. Besides Roby and the Florida Gator CBs I'm not sure who else is coming out in this years draft. CB is probably our most important need besides QB in my opinion. Thomas, the RB out of Oregon would be an interesting draft pick because of his speed. Of course several RBs are going to be UFAs at the end of this year, Darren McFadden, MJD, Mendenhall and Ben Tate. Tate is the only one I would take as the others can be labeled as injury prone. As bad as Little has been this year I do believe WR is something we can wait on until the 2nd round of the draft.
With the 2nd and 3rd round picks we draft the whatever the team determines is the next most important position out of the four that I mentioned above.
The rest of the draft is to provide depth at the rest of the positions on the team. Maybe also get a Kicker somewhere in there, not sure Cundiff is a long term solution.
