ESPN Insider is reporting that the Browns will likely take Braylon Edwards with the #3 pick if he’s available, while Mel Kiper has them picking QB Alex Smith. I like the idea of getting Edwards. Most experts have him rated as the best overall player in the draft.
If the Browns trade down, they reportedly covet Georgia DE David Pollack who would fit in as a rush linebacker in Crennel’s 3-4 scheme. I love this potential pick. Reading Pollack’s bio on ESPN I was reminded of former OSU great Chris Spielman. Pollack’s motor never stops running, and he’s a real football player, not just an athlete. He doesn’t have ideal size, but he performs on the field. He could fill a role similar to Tedi Bruschi in New England.
Finally, ESPN is reporting that the Browns like Auburn QB Jason Campbell in the second round if they don’t pick a QB in the first round. I’m not as excited about this pick. I think Frye would be a better choice.
