Cleveland hasn’t had a franchise quarterback since their return to the league and while Robert Griffin could be the answer, many expect him to be a short-term solution. Walter football has projected the Browns to have the first overall pick next year and expect Clemson signal caller Deshaun Watson to be the first player off the board.
Draft Site has LSU product Leonard Fournette as the top ranked running back available and expect the NY Giants to nab the youngster. The Tigers back is a beast with a rare combination of power and speed and while most teams shy away from running backs in the opening round, Fournette is an exception and should hear his name called inside the top-10 of the opening round next April.
With the passing game taking over the NFL, teams are always looking for wide receivers that can stretch opposing defenses and score touchdowns. Draft Wire has Clemson wide out Mike Williams tops on their list and going to Tampa Bay in round one. With young quarterback Jameis Winston now running the show for the Buccaneers, adding weapons for his and the teams success is paramount and Williams could help push this team into a playoff contender.
JuJu Smith-Schuster of USC is another wide receiver that is highly regarded. The youngster does a bit of everything for the Trojans and with a big year could move inside the top-5 picks in the draft. Cleveland has a second choice early in round one and adding Smith-Schuster along with Watson would create a buzz with the fans and generate plenty of excitement for a franchise that has continued to struggle winning football games.
