The Cleveland Browns have obviously passed on some talent in the last 5 years of the draft, who hasn’t. But, the Browns are under a microscope because of the quarterbacks they have passed on such as Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson.
Here we are going to look at who they should have taken with these first round picks. Keep in mind that these are post-trades, so if they traded up or down, these are the picks we are evaluating, not the original picks held by the Browns.
Let’s start in 2013.
2013, Round 1, Pick 6
Original Pick: Barkevious Mingo, Outside Linebacker, LSU
Updated Pick: DeAndre Hopkins, Wide Receiver, Clemson
Besides Josh Gordon (who has missed a ton of time with off the field issues) the Browns have not had a true number one receiver.
