Analyzing the Cleveland Browns depth chart at wide receiver

Looking ahead to the 2019 season, we take an in-depth look at the different position groups for the Cleveland Browns. Here is a glance at the wide receivers.

General manager John Dorsey changed over the entire Cleveland Browns roster after his arrival in December of 2017. The work he’s done has built a much more competitive roster which makes it harder to make the team than we have seen in years past.

One example of a position gaining more competition is at wide receiver. It wasn’t long ago that the receiving corps in Cleveland consisted of Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman as the starters. While Pryor did put up his best season ever, it was fair to say Coleman was quite the bust.

Another bust came in the form of free agent signing Kenny Britt, who was added by the previous regime on a four-year, $32.5 million deal. Britt managed just 18 receptions in nine games before Dorsey came on board and sent Britt packing.

Since that time, there’s been a lot of turnover. Coleman was traded away to the Buffalo Bills and then Dorsey finally gave up on Josh Gordon after he served suspensions in six-straight seasons for the Browns.

It wasn’t always easy, or popular, but Dorsey did what he felt was best for the team as he completely changed the game at wide receiver.

Now as we get ready for the 2019 season, we can pause and take a deeper look at the different positional groups, such as wideout, and see what role each will play — and who might have a tough time cracking the roster.
