Browns Take 2nd in NFL.com Draft Rankings

Fans favor exciting playmakers over reliable "big uglies." That didn't stop Browns general manager Ray Farmer from ignoring the noise and selecting Danny Shelton and Cameron Erving in the first round.

Count NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt among the confident camp of media members aligned with Farmer's way of thinking.

NFL.com recently published draft rankings based on Brandt's "Hot 100 prospects" list. Using a point system (100 points for Brandt's #1 prospect, 99 points for #2 prospect, etc.), the Browns finished second.

Ranking the 2015 Draft class is largely a shot in the dark at this point.
