The Cleveland Browns need considerable help at wide receiver and Baylor’s Corey Coleman could be the answer come draft night.

The Cleveland Browns head toward the 2016 Draft with an even greater need at wide receiver than in previous years. Leading receiver Travis Benjamin is gone and head coach Hue Jackson, who likes to throw the ball down the field, is in town.

Jackson had AJ Green in Cincinnati and with picks at No. 2 and No. 32 overall, the Browns may look to address wide receiver early in the 2016 NFL Draft, similar to what the Bengals did in 2010. Top receivers have been few and far between in Cleveland, and it will be a priority of Jackson’s that the team finds a game-changing receiver to take the field for the Browns in 2016 and beyond.

There was a time when it seemed like Josh Gordon may be that player, but he is little more than a lottery ticket at this point in his NFL career. However, the Browns could look to his alma mater and draft Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman.

The electrifying wide receiver is one of the top prospects in the 2016 Draft and could add some much-needed explosiveness to a pedestrian-looking aerial attack for the 2016 Cleveland Browns.
