The Cleveland Browns had a solid draft last April

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General,The Draft Report by admin on Thursday 9 June 2011 at 1:18 pm

WR Julio Jones was sitting right there for the Browns to take with the 6th overall pick of the first round.  He would have filled a huge need for the Browns, but instead of taking him, they traded the pick to the Falcons.  In the deal, the Browns got back a first, second and fourth round pick in 2011 and a first and fourth rounder in 2012.  The Browns haul for Jones so far is DT Phil Taylor, WR Greg Little and FB Owen Marecic.  The Browns added four players to each side of the ball.  DT Phil Taylor and DE Jabaal Sheard came to the Browns in the first and second round of the NFL Draft.  Taylor gives them a big body to help out on the interior of the D as it transitions from the 3-4 to the 4-3.  Sheard gives the Browns a nice rushing DE, which is something they just didn’t have on the roster.  WR Greg Little was a steal where the Browns got him in the draft.  As of right now, I would have Little as the #1 WR on the team.  TE Jordan Cameron, FB Owen Marecic and OT Jason Pinkston could all help the offense in the near future for the Browns.  CB Buster Skrine and safety Eric Hagg were both solid picks late in the draft.
