The Cleveland Browns selected four wide receivers in the 2016 NFL NFL Draft as they look to improve the position after a shaky 2015 season.

The Cleveland Browns took it upon themselves to improve their overall talent at the wide receiver position in the 2016 NFL Draft by selecting four wide receivers.

Of course, in doing so, players who are already on the team are now in jeopardy of losing their precious playing time. The Cleveland Browns lacked playmakers at the position in the 2015 campaign and made sure that playmaking receivers won’t be a problem this upcoming season.

Josh Gordon, an All-Pro in 2013, served a one-year suspension in 2015 for violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. It was also recently reported that Gordon failed, yet again, another drug test in March.

Gordon had applied for reinstatement prior to the report, and has since been denied reinstatement by the league. He is able to reapply on August 1.

Until further notice with Gordon, the Browns must move forward with the new group of receivers.

The Cleveland Browns currently sit with 11 wide receivers on their 90-man roster, which has to be cut to the final 53 by early September. To start, let’s look at who will be on the team come Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
