Cleveland Browns: 2016 NFL Scouting Combine round up
By Thomas Moore
The 2016 NFL Combine is in the books, so take a look at what the Cleveland Browns were up to during six days in Indianapolis.
The 2016 NFL Scouting Combine has come to an end, giving the Cleveland Browns (and their fans) plenty to talk about as they wait for the 2016 NFL Draft.
The Browns have plenty of holes to fill on the roster, most notably at the quarterback position, and in addition to the draft have about $40 million in expected cap space for when free agency opens on March 9. Of course, believing that a team can solve its problems by throwing around cash to other team’s free agents is a fool’s errand, leaving the hard work of the draft as the true path to success.

With seven draft picks (plus an expected four compensatory picks) the Browns have the opportunity, if they do their homework and don’t lose focus on draft night, to walk away with at least a couple of impact players. While the Browns have not confirmed which players they met with over the past six days, the following is a list of players that the team reportedly spoke with during the combine process.

It is probably a good idea to not read too much into which players the Browns may or may not have spoken with as the individual visits in Berea in the coming weeks are probably more noteworthy, but it is still good to try to get a glimpse as to what the new regime is thinking.
