"4. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo): Leonard Williams, DT/DE, USC Former interim USC head coach Ed Orgeron said mid-last season that Williams “is going to be a first-round pick. He is probably one of the best athletes we’ve had here on the defensive line as far as size-speed ratio.” Williams could be a 4-3 DT or slide out to a DE spot in a 3-4. A hybrid front would be ideal for his wide-ranging talent. 12. Cleveland Browns: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama Probably the WR to beat headed into the 2014 college football season, Cooper had 104 catches and 15 TDs combined over 2012-13 with the Crimson Tide. There is very little not to like here — the 6-1 Cooper breaks off sharp routes and said he ran three sub-4.4 40s after Alabama’s recent pro day (grain of salt on that one, though Cooper’s speed makes it believable)."

Again the Browns go with the receiver Cooper who runs great routes and if he has speed to match would be a perfect compliment to Gordon. Adding Williams, a versatile player in the hybrid Mike Pettine defense would help with the loss of Rubin and the pending Taylor free agency. Burke has the Browns drafting 12th which means they were far more competitive with their current roster then last year.
