"May I have the envelope please...". With the sixth overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, Browns GM Mike Lombardi and CEO Joe Banner have an opportunity to right the team's ship. If they heed this fan's advise it will be full steam ahead.
1st Round - If they can obtain an additional pick in the second round...DO IT! If not, the logical choice would be to grab Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner. This would give the team the best set of corners in the AFC Central. Not since Dixon and Minnifield have the Browns had that kind of talent at such a critical position. Fall Back Pick - Tavon Austin / Wide Receiver / West Virginia.
2nd Round - Should they obtain this pick, D.J. Swearinger, South Carolina's hard hitting safety would add much needed POP to an otherwise soft secondary. According to Pro Football Weekly Draft 2013, "Swearinger plays with a tough hard-nosed old school swagger and brings an intimidating presence to the middle of the field." The team never addressed the secondary in free agency so I believe this pick would allow "D - Coordinator" Ray Horton to be creative in certain blitz packages. Fall Back Pick - E.J. Manuel / Quarterback / Florida State.
3rd Round - Gavin Escobar the 6'6' tight-end from San Diego State would eliminate a competition at that position. He reminds me of Aaron Hernandez of the Patriots. Another weapon for whoever tosses the rock.
Fall Back Pick - Brian Winters / Guard / Kent State.
4th Round - Tyler Bray / Quarterback / Tennessee...A hunch here that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam whispers in Joe Banner's ear and grabs the fellow Volunteer. Fall Back Pick - Nico Johnson / Inside Linebacker / Alabama.
5th Round - Kapron Lewis-Moore / Defensive End / Notre Dame...Perfect size, speed, and motor for the 3-4 defense. Team captain on a pretty good Irish team. Fall Back Pick - Jared Smith / Defensive End / New Hampshre
5th Round - Jelani Jenkins / Outside Linebacker / Florida...Browns need a linebacker who can cover a running back who slips out of the backfield. Jelani's your man. Although undersized has the speed to come in on third and long situations.Fall Back Pick - Nick Kasa / Tight End / Colorado
7th Round - Zach Boren / Fullback / Ohio State...Official escort for Trent Richardson. Great late people mover pick! Fall Back Pick - Onterrio McCalebb / Running Back / Auburn
7th Round - Caleb Sturgis / Kicker / Florida...Joe Banner likes to draft replacement kickers. Accurate from beyond 40 yards. Phil who? Fall Back Pick - Jordan Rodgers / Quarterback / Vanderbilt
