"6. Cleveland Browns (via Buffalo Bills) WR Amari Cooper, Alabama – We still do not know the fate of Josh Gordon. Cooper was limited in 2013 by injuries and McCarron’s lack of a vertical arm. Johnny Manziel has shown he is willing to throw downfield. Cooper should emerge in 2014. 8. Cleveland Browns Edge player Vic Beasley, Clemson – Paul Kruger can be cut to save money at any point after the 2014 season. Beasley and Barkevious Mingo would offer a dynamic edge rushing duo. Beasley has plenty of edge speed, but also displays an inside arm bar to keep his opponent on skates."
Norris goes with the same WR as Brugler but gives the Browns another edge rusher. Much will be decided with the pending free agency of Jabaal Sheard and the possibility, as Norris notes, of cutting Kruger. The Browns also have to deal with Phil Taylor at some point in time as the young players from the past few drafts are getting to their second contracts quickly. Beasley is an interesting player who could of come out this year and been a high pick. Norris has the Browns finishing better then the Bills, but not by much. QB play for both teams will be decisive of their results.
