Wait, the Cleveland Browns don’t have a pick within the top three of the NFL Draft? Crazy!

That’s a wonderful sign for the Browns, who no longer are the laughingstock of the league. They’re far from a perfect squad and still have a lot of holes. But Cleveland no longer needs substantial upgrades all over the field on both sides of the ball.

The Browns offensive line could use some help. But there’s not a lot of value here at this point. And while there are some issues on defense, finding weapons for rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield would be pretty smart.

Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown has both size and playmaking ability on his side. After parting ways with former first-round pick, Josh Gordon, it’s time the Browns find a true impact playmaker to pair with the veteran, Jarvis Landry.

At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, Brown has both size and physicality on his size.

That should help Mayfield out nicely.
