Team Needs: Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns- The Browns had a decent year, 5 of their losses were within a touchdown. They gave up a 2nd round pick to get Josh Gordon who played well at times last year. I think this upcoming year puts them in a similar spot to the way their season went last year.

Draft Needs:

Quarterback: Brandon Weeden is not a great quarterback and although he was a first round pick a year ago, he is 29 turning 30 in October. They also picked up Jason Campbell who has been a decent starter but still not a long term solution. A quarterback to develop for a year should be the Browns objective, or wait a year.

Offensive Guard: They need depth at the position. They do not have great options at guard with Shawn Lauvao struggling at times last year and it is the last year of his contract. They could decide to take a guard early but i doubt it, especially with the depth of the O-linemen in this draft. Without a 2nd round pick they may have to wait until later in draft or find a way into the 2nd.

Wide Receiver: They have a core a young guys, but so far none have stepped up and made big plays consistently. They need more playmakers to help this offense run more fluidly. I could see them going after a player like Stedman Bailey in the middle rounds.

Linebacker: This is another position they need to add depth to. They have signed players to start, but can improve if a player they like falls to them in the 3rd. But, I expect for them to look for a player to groom later in the draft.

Secondary: They have two solid players in the secondary in CB Joe Haden and S TJ Ward. They need a CB opposite of Haden and another Safety to play with Ward. Luckily both of these positions are deep this year and they can find a player anywhere throughout the draft. If Milliner is around I think he is the pick.
