ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported on SportsCenter that Stephen Hill of Georgia Tech may be as high as the No. 3-rated receiver on the Browns' draft board.
It sounds like Justin Blackmon was No. 1 and Kendall Wright was No. 2. The Browns must not have been particularly high on Michael Floyd. Cleveland currently holds the 37th pick, but there are rumors that teams may be willing to trade up to No. 33 for Hill. We'd expect Hill to be a Brown if he gets to 37.

I'm hoping we can get Randle, if we can't Hill is a nice consolation prize.
If we take Hill this is our offense:
QB - Weeden
RB - Richardson, Jackson, Hardesty, That guys name I can't spell
WR - Little, Hill, Massaquoi, Norwood, Cribbs, Mitchell
TE - Watson, Moore, Cameron, Smith
OL - Thomas, Pinkston, Mack, Lauvao, and ???
That looks like a real offense to me.

Hill is a tall, fast WR who doesn't run good routes or catch the ball very well. a WR doesn't need to do those things, right?
draft Glenn. then trade up from #67 and get Sanu. I like that much better.

I was just responding to the news that was posted above. I am assuming Hill can be taught how to run a route. And I have not heard anything negative about his hands at all.

I think Hill is probably our second-best option at 37 at this point (after Glenn) but I'm not confident he makes it there.
I sure wish we had a better second option.

We need good players, not a bunch of scrubs to replace other scrubs.
This point you make is exactly my point also.
The scrubs to replace other scrubs, I view as picks 160, 204,205, 245, 247.
The We need good players I think are anyone you can pick above 140ish.
I'm advocating trying to surrender pick 37, for something like Miaimi's
72
73
and 103.
In the middle of Today it is easy to hold a high value of this 2nd round pick but in the long term of next week , the drop off from a 2nd to 3rd rounders is .... well it is what it is....
But the opportunity to ReCoop 2 more players in the top 103, is the opportunity to get back 2 player picks when just yesterday they gave up 3 player picks .
The Browns have alot of holes, if I could get 3 Jason Pinkstons, and give up 1 Jabal Sheard, then that means you can spread those 3 players out into different positions.
Everybody who ever argues about getting talent to surround the quarterback?
The Answer is to trade down in the 2nd or out of the 2nd in order to get multiple 3rd -4th rounders .
And it's possible Today
And by Sunday Afternoon, you'd probably feel it wasn't such a bad idea.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I like the idea of Reuben Randle if we don't go RT and have issues with Hill.
Also Vinny Curry is available. And that would be a good one. Frostee Rucker, Sheard, Vinny Curry. Not a bad line up of DE's.
Levonte David could come in and be our WLB, but that's much further down my desire list.
Depending on how we view this guy Coby Fleener, he wouldn't be a bad one either. TE's a big-time position in this league, Ben Watson had a million concussions last year and Evan Moore can't block worth a damn

Here's my rationale for what I'd do today.
There are four glaring roster deficiencies IMO.
WR
RT
WILL
FB
I'm going to leave fullback out of this discussion for Day 2.
If we had to start a game tomorrow we'd have:
RT - Oniel Cousins - YIKES! DUCK!
WILL - Kaluka Maiava - OLE! RB Hostess...this way sir!
WR- Mohammad Massaquoi - Run of the mill
If it's me I don't consider a WR at 37 unless Glenn and David are off the board.
If both are on still I probably draft Glenn just because so many things are dependent on having at least a serviceable RT.
I think Lavonte David is the best talent on the board right now and if we went Glenn I'd trade up as quickly as possible to get him.
He takes our run defense from bottom third to middle third immediately.

FB is not a glaring deficiency. Marecic played fine once he knew what he was doing. Then he got concussed. Just because he doesn't blow guys up doesn't mean he is bad.
