Five Cleveland Browns whose stock is down after dropping heartbreaker to Seahawks

1. Dontrell Hilliard

Miss Duke Johnson yet? The Browns traded a good player and replaced him with an “eh” guy in Dontrell Hilliard.

And make no mistake about it, Hillard is on this list for the Browns final offensive play. When a ball hits both of your hands and still manages to go through, well, that’s the kind of talent that’ll make your stock sink.

Hililard opened the game with a bang, returning the opening kick over 70 yards, marking one of the Browns most memorable returns in recent memory.

Johnson is sorely missed. He’s not tearing it up in Houston, but that seems to be Bill O’Brien‘s problem. Johnson wasn’t just a good player here, he was a playmaker who probably catches that ball.

Hilliard’s roster spot will continue to be safe, but there are only three games remaining on Kareem Hunt‘s suspension. On one hand, he’s a surefire upgrade over Hilliard, on the other hand, you’ve got to wonder if Kitchens can handle another cook in the kitchen. He’s having enough trouble as it is getting everyone involved in the offense.
