BEREA -- The Browns' undrafted free agent class of 10 includes three wide receivers, two offensive linemen, two defensive backs, one linebacker, one defensive lineman and one tight end.

The club announced the following undrafted players were signed and present at the beginning of today's rookie minicamp:

• Casey Bender, offensive lineman, South Dakota State. The 6-5, 295-pounder started at right tackle and right guard the past two seasons.

• Benjamin Burney, defensive back, Colorado. Started 27 games in four years and had three interceptions. Missed his junior season with a shoulder injury.

• Auston English, linebacker, Oklahoma. Had 9.5 sacks as a sophomore and finished four-year career with 28 starts and 18 sacks. One of the few Sooners not drafted. He's 6-3 and 250, probably an inside linebacker at the NFL level.

• Johnathan Haggerty, wide receiver, Southwest Oklahoma State. In four years, totaled 173 receptions for 2,726 yards and 23 touchdowns. He's 6-0 1/2, 193 pounds and has a 4.46 40 clocking.

• Joel Reinders, offensive lineman, Waterloo. Played right tackle at Canadian college after playing basketball for two years. Never played football prior to 2008. He's 6-7 and 320 pounds.

• Aaron Valentin, wide receiver, Purdue. Had 65 catches for 845 yards and two touchdowns in 24 games. Also returned punts (12.1-yard average) and kickoffs (21.9). He's 6-1 and 205 pounds.

• Troy Wagner, tight end, Indiana. Primarily a run blocker, he totaled eight catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. He's 6-6 and 265 pounds

The Browns also invited 35 players on a tryout basis, including local products Andre Evans, defensive back from Glenville and Eastern Kentucky; receiver Robby Paris, St. Ignatius and Notre Dame; defensive back Royce Adams, Glenville and Purdue; and defensive back Bradley Jones, Canton McKinley and Cincinnati.

Also, quarterback Graham Harrell of Texas Tech was invited back. He had a minicamp tryout with the Browns last year.

The Browns have 53 players in camp -- eight draft picks, 10 undrafted free agents and 35 tryouts..

Yeah, baby!

They might like who they currently have at WR. As others have pointed out, with a QB who actually knows where and how to throw the ball, I think the WR's will look tons better.

At least the sprints should be 10 yards less...

We have a canadian, this guy is a nice find. Lets see if he can make the transition.

The whirlwind that has been Joel Reinders's fledgling football career took a stunning twist Saturday.

The hulking six-foot-eight, 320-pound Waterloo Warriors offensive lineman signed a free-agent deal with the Cleveland Browns shortly after being bypassed in the NFL draft. Pretty heady stuff for a former basketball player who only took up football at the university level two years ago.

"The first year I started playing I thought maybe I might make a CFL roster and play a couple of years," the Oakville, Ont., native said. "But never in a million years would I have imagined that I'd be going to the NFL.

"It really hasn't hit me yet."

I will say IMO: that this draft did not look like some we have seen in the past, where there was a ton of talented players.

Uh, Gil Brandt? He knows more about the NFL Draft and personnel signing than just about anyone on the planet.

That's certainly not an exhaustive list. It's simply the top undrafteds that he had. Some of them are weighing options.

Nice signing. This FO really knows their stuff.

I like the look of this guy, even when the defender beat him on the edge, he came back and kept the pocket.
