2012 NFL Draft Review: Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns made a makeover by moving up one spot to the No. 3 position to reel in the supremely talented Richardson. They had come in with the goal of boosting one of the NFL‘s most anemic offenses. The Heisman Trophy finalist has exceptional power and the speed to break off big gains outside He is a willing pass blocker and a fine receiver. The lone problem with him is that he is so physical and there is a threat of a shortened career. This has been the biggest problem with him. If he sorts out this issue, things would look much better for the Browns. The former minor league pitcher will be 29 years old come October, therefore Weeden’s pro tenure has already been curtailed, but he is mature and composed and sports a superior arm than incumbent Colt McCoy.
Winn is a best value pick. Winn may be able to contribute as an interior pass rusher. He is a good athlete with a quick first step. He slid to the bottom of the sixth round primarily due to maturity and motivation concerns, considering in many circles to be a better prospect than Hughes.
There are few questionable calls too. In the third round, Hughes looks like a massive reach. He would have likely been still available at Cleveland’s No. 37 spot. Something the Browns did not address until the fourth-round choice of return specialist Benjamin is that selection may have been better served by obtaining a field-stretching wide receiver. Trading up a place seemed like a needless move, since Minnesota was not going to take Richardson at No. 3.
The jury’s still out about many of Heckert’s other decisions, a few of which he may have jumped the gun on, although the Browns did get a cornerstone player in Richardson. The mark below will be significantly higher, if Weeden quickly develops into a capable quarterback that can ignite Cleveland’s dormant passing game. This draft could have been much more than what they actually got, with the Browns’ bounty of picks and advantageous positions.
