lets hear some possibilities...not as familiar with this years class yet
Let's conservatively project that we end up with pick number 5, Texans end up with number 10, and Eagles at 17.
That'd put us having #5, #10, #37, #42, #49, and #69.
Just a tool to show the kind of talent we could haul in a single draft, here's a Browns mini-mock. Imagine, based on where they are currently slated across varying draft sites (and of course, these are going to change greatly over the next 7 months), that we could realistically end up with something like this:
#5 - Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State (top RB)--5'11, 223 lbs
#10 - Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State (top CB) -- 6'2, 198 lbs
#37 - Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame -- 6'5, 204 lbs
#42 - Cameron Smith, ILB, USC -- 6'2, 245 lbs
#49 - Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State -- 6'3, 295 lbs
#69 - Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama -- 6'3, 214 lbs
That's addressing so many needs, it's unbelievable. A big, fast WR to pair perfectly opposite of a developing Corey Coleman. Our young tight ends continuing to develop. A stud RB with superstar potential. A top corner with size and range. A 3-technique who not only shuts down the run, but can get after the QB. A big SS to pair with FS Peppers for Gregg's defense that has size, range, and brings the boom. Cameron Smith, a stud middle linebacker for our 4-3. Maybe we decide to go OT in there at the early second, someone to make Coleman more of a depth player who could eventually shift to LT after Joe's days are behind him--a guy like Orlando Brown, 6'8, 360 lbs out of Oklahoma.
There are so many possibilities. Let's hope Kizer is the guy. The holes we can fill on this roster are just ludicrous. Never mind what we could do AFTER round 3 with depth players and taking shots on guys with histories.
