2016 NFL Draft Range: Top 20 – 1st round

Laquon Treadwell recovered from a horrific injury in his sophomore season to put up big numbers as a junior. A five-star recruit, he leaves Ole Miss as the program’s leader in career receptions, and third in receiving yards and touchdowns. The former high school All-American returned from a broken fibula and dislocated ankle to become one of the top wide receivers in the draft.

As a mid-first round prospect, the Browns may target Treadwell in a trade down from No. 2 or a trade up from No. 32 if they believe the Ole Miss star can be the big target that new head coach Hue Jackson favors.
