Time to post my first Browns mock draft of the season:
1 (from Bills) - Mario Edwards - DE - Florida State - Assuming this pick will be in the middle teens, the Browns will certainly look to build their front seven. Edwards is a freaky good athlete for his size (upwards of 290-300) and always seems to find a way into the backfield to disrupt the running game. Would be an excellent fit as a 3-tech in the Browns scheme and bring much needed athleticism to the unit.
1 -
Dante Fowler - OLB - Florida - Exceptional pass rusher who is well coached and can make an immediate impact. Moves all over the field for the Gators and would join Mingo and Kruger in replacing the most-likely departed Jabaal Sheard.
2 - Ben Koyack - TE - Notre Dame - With Jordan Cameron's injury history a concern, along with his contract, the Browns add an offensive weapon that excels as a blocker and as a pass catcher. He's not flashy, he's not as gifted athletically as Cameron. He's a technically sound blocker and skilled route runner that provides the Browns with a nice 1-2 punch at the tight end position.
3 - Justin Hardy - WR - ECU - Could rise well beyond this level with a great off-season, but with the depth at WR he would provide awesome value here. Might have the best hands in the 2015 crop, and all he's done is produce. Pretty complete player, but won't need to help immediately because of the good depth the Browns have at the position.
4 (from Bills) - Terry Williams - NT - ECU - Compact wrecking ball at 6-foot-1, 340+ pounds with some pretty good quicks for his size. A bit of a project and can run himself out of plays, but would be the eventual replacement for Rubin in the middle.
4 - Jake Fisher - OT - Oregon - Battled injuries this season and the Oregon offense suffered mightily in his absence, getting dominated up front by Arizona. Versatile, intelligent guy who could provide depth at four positions along the line.
5 - Roberto Aguayo - K - Florida State - Unquestionably the best kicker in the nation and could leave school early as a rSoph. 42-of-45 thus far in his career and his range is out to 60 or better. Probably the best kicking prospect since Mike Nugent and could go much higher.
6 - Isaiah Johnson - SS - Georgia Tech - Run stuffing safety that is a bit of a flier pick because of his injury history. Was All-ACC before missing 2013 with an injury, has come back and looked good this year but has battled a hamstring. Groomed as the eventual replacement for Whitner and could take somewhat of a red-shirt year while making an impact on special teams.
6 - David Johnson - RB - Northern Iowa - I think this guy's career could be interesting, he could be a power back in the mold of Blount or he could bulk up a bit more and turn into an H-back/TE. He can really run, though, so I'd like to see him get a crack at being a short yardage back behind the zone scheme Northern Iowa is familiar with running.
7 - Quinton Alston - ILB - Iowa - Just a guy who jumped out to me while watching them.
