For the record...I hate the Browns, but I like that they took an impact player on the offensive side of the ball.
What other WR's are good picks at 32, if any? Or do you go pass rush and then WR later?
I think we'll focus on the front 7 first. I say this because I feel like some of the guys left could be top 15 on our board. Then, maybe we'll look to these dudes for WR needs:

Rashard Higgins*, WR, Colorado State
Height: 6-1. Weight: 196. Arm: 32.25. Hand: 9.75.
40 Time: 4.64.
Projected Round (2015): 4-5.
4/26/16: Higgins totaled 75 catches 1,062 yards and eight touchdowns in 2015. He missed one game because of injuries, but his production was down a lot because of coach Jim McElwain's departure to Florida and quarterback Garrett Grayson's to the NFL.
Higgins has good quickness, route-running and hands. He's a polished receiver, but was extremely thin, and that had teams grading him as an early rounder for Day 3. Higgins gained a lot of weight for the combine, so maybe that was why he ran much slower than expected.
8/10/15: Higgins was one of the most productive wide receivers in the nation in 2014 as he caught 96 passes for 1,750 yards and 17 touchdowns. The sophomore showed excellent hands and route-running. With head coach Jim McElwain in Florida and quarterback Garrett Grayson playing for the New Orleans Saints, Higgins' production is likely to decline as a junior. He had 68 receptions for 837 yards and six scores as a freshman.

Tyler Boyd*, WR, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-1. Weight: 197. Arm: 32. Hand: 9.75.
40 Time: 4.58.
Projected Round (2016): 2-3.
4/26/16: Some teams like Boyd as a second- or third-round pick who could contribute quickly. He is a quick receiver who generally has good hands and gets separation from defensive backs. Boyd isn't overly fast, big or physical, so that makes him more of a second-day prospect.
In 2015, Boyd totaled 91 receptions for 926 yards and six touchdowns. He had 40 carries for 349 yards, too. Boyd saw tons of extra coverage attention. He was suspended for the 2015 season opener because of a DUI arrest during the offseason.
8/10/15: In 2014, Boyd notched 78 receptions for 1,126 yards and eight touchdowns. The junior has speed to go with his size. He was impressive against good defensive backs last year, including Virginia Tech's tough secondary. Boyd has enough speed to get separation with a burst to rip off yards after the catch. He runs good routes, is very physical, has reliable hands, tracks the bell extremely well, makes acrobatic catches and out-fights defensive backs for 50-50 balls.
In Boyd's first game for the Panthers in 2013, he gave Florida State some problems. That set the tone for him to break a lot of Larry Fitzgerald's freshman records. Boyd caught 85 passes for 1,174 yards with seven touchdowns in 2013. He also ran for a score and returned a punt for a touchdown.
