Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

 This pick could be a reach depending on where the Browns are picking, but with the luck Cleveland has had at receivers in the past years, Treadwell could be the move if they are in the right position.

As mentioned earlier, no one knows how long Josh Gordon can stay clean when he comes back if he stays clean at all. Dwayne Bowe ate $9 million this season, and Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins haven’t made any significant impact this season, with the unlikely pairing of Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge being the teams leading pass catchers this season.

If Gordon can come back and stay back, Treadwell would be able to serve as a strong number two option. If not, Treadwell could command the majority of the looks from whoever is behind center.
