Cleveland Browns Position to upgrade via Free Agency No. 2 – Wide Receiver

I know the Cleveland Browns drafted David Bell (Purdue) and Michael Woods (Oklahoma St.) in the draft, but I’m still not sold Andrew Berry is done at adding to the position.

Had he drafted a guy like John Metchie at pick No. 44, I would have felt a lot more confident in the position group as is. Bell had a terrible combine after a ton of college production. Woods has had flashes of great in college but has yet to show any type of consistency when it comes to production.

Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones are currently the only two players on the roster with any significant production in the NFL. Cooper will by far and away be the number one option, but Peoples-Jones will really need to take a big step in year three on consistency.

There are plenty of free agents available, and for weeks we have been talking about Will Fuller being signed because of his relationship with Watson. The fact that Berry passed on a starting caliber guy at pick No. 44 tells me that he is confident they can get that deal done.

Fuller will be a great addition, but injuries are a concern. He has struggled to stay healthy and has missed a ton of game time throughout his career.
