The Cleveland Browns successfully drafting wide receivers isn’t something the franchise does often or well. The last drafted receiver to spend any significant time on the active roster was Travis Benjamin, who didn’t truly have a breakout year until the 2015 season and who has since moved on in free agency to sign with the San Diego Chargers.
While the Browns did take a wideout in 2015’s draft, one heavy at the position, they still managed to get their choice wrong, taking Vince Mayle in Round 4. Mayle never made it to the regular season, being released in the final rounds of roster cuts, spending a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys and is currently unemployed in the league.
