Cleveland Browns select Baylor WR Corey Coleman

"The Cleveland Browns selected Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman with their first pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. The Browns selected Coleman with the No. 15 pick after trading the No. 8 pick to the Tennessee Titans, who used the pick to select Michigan State tackle Jack Conklin. In addition to swapping first-round picks, the Browns sent a sixth-round pick (No. 176) to the Titans in return for a third-round pick (No. 76) and a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft."

Cleveland Browns fans react to Corey Coleman pick

"The Cleveland Browns selected a wide receiver in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, but it wasn’t the one that many fans expected. Rather than take Mississippi wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, the Browns opted for the smaller and faster Corey Coleman from Baylor. Coleman is the first wide receiver selected in the first round by the Browns since Braylon Edwards in 2005."
