BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Let’s see, a game-changing wide receiver for quarterback Colt McCoy. A get-after-the-quarterback pass rusher for new coach Pat Shurmur’s defensive front. A right tackle. A linebacker or two. A few special team-types with upside. Maybe a kicker or a cornerback.
The Cleveland Browns have a lengthy shopping list for the NFL draft. In fact, there isn’t much they don’t need.
“We have some holes to fill all over the place,” general manager Tom Heckert said. “We still have holes on offense and defense.”
The question is: which ones to fill first?
With the No. 6 overall selection on Thursday night and three picks in the Top 70, the Browns, who have spent the past decade in rebuilding mode and again changed coaches this winter, hope to plug some of those openings and address shortcomings they’ve yet to fix.
