Rotoworld did a write up on the Browns Draft needs. At the end of it they had a Mock for all of the browns picks with analysis.
Norris’ Mock Draft
Round 1 (1): EDGE
Myles Garrett, Texas A&M - Locked in.
Round 1 (12): QB
Deshaun Watson, Clemson - I’d be shocked if the Browns don’t exit the draft with a quarterback in the top two rounds. Maybe they are the ones driving the
Davis Webb train? Maybe they trade up from this 12th spot? Watson has a much larger sample size than
Mitchell Trubisky, a major part of analytics. It will be interesting to see if
Hue Jackson makes the pick, the front office makes the pick, or a combination of the two.
Cody Kessler’s selection surely seems to be analytics-driven, since he doesn’t fit Hue’s height threshold.
Round 2 (33): CB
Sidney Jones, Washington - Jones had a chance of being the second corner off the board before his Achilles injury. Thanks to their abundance of picks, the Browns can plan for the future with this selection. Value, in terms of talent.
Round 2 (52): FS
Eddie Jackson, Alabama - Jackson is a long-term starter who shined when moving to free safety.
Malik Hooker will go off the board quickly, but Jackson might claim the second tier by himself. He will be cleared for offseason activities after healing from a broken leg that ended his season last fall.
Round 3 (65): DL
Carlos Watkins, Clemson - College production was a major piece of the Browns’ 2016 draft. Watkins produced 10.5 sacks last season, a difficult feat for an interior defensive lineman.
Round 4 (108): TE
Michael Roberts, Toledo - More collegiate production. Roberts scored 16 touchdowns last season. The staff ran a ton of 12 personnel in Mobile at the Senior Bowl, a possible hint at future plans.
Round 5 (145): T
Aviante Collins, TCU - Along with athleticism, the Browns took shots on top athletes last year. Collins is one of those. He did not complete a full workout at the Combine, but when he does, expect high scores. He can compete on the right side.
Round 5 (175): WR
Kenny Golladay, NIU - A combination of production and athleticism.
Round 5 (181): DB
Lorenzo Jerome, St. Francis - A really fun small school player, who lined up at corner, safety and linebacker. Big hitter.
Round 6 (185): EDGE
Ejuan Price, Pitt - Undersized, so he might not hit the thresholds the Browns look for, but ultra-productive and flexible. You can make those exceptions in the later rounds.
Round 6 (188): RB
Joe Williams, Utah - Williams left his team before the season, then returned and rushed for 1,400 yards. He’s one of the fastest running backs in the class.
