Takeaways from the Browns’ first day of the draft …

Win, win: What did the Browns really need? A touchdown maker. What would also be nice to have? More high draft picks. That was surely the dream scenario for the Browns heading into the first round. And the new front office – all rookies in their present roles – executed it to perfection. They came away with fast, pugnacious Baylor receiver Corey Coleman, who scored 20 touchdowns in coach Art Briles’ renowned spread offense. And they netted another pair of high future picks from the Tennessee Titans after moving down from No. 8 to No. 15.

Collecting draft capital: So, let’s add it up. The Browns began the draft with the No. 2 overall pick. In two trades before they selected a player they added: two third-round picks this year (from Philadelphia and Tennessee), a first-round pick in 2017 (Philadelphia) and a second-rounder (Tennessee), and a second-round pick in 2018 (Philadelphia). The cost was forsaking a potential franchise quarterback (Carson Wentz, taken second overall) and two elite Ohio State players who were selected third and fourth (defensive end Joey Bosa and running back Ezekiel Elliott). “The big thing was trying to figure out how to get not only the players we wanted but also to have as much draft capital as possible,” said Paul DePodesta, the chief strategy officer and architect of the trade-down initiative. “Tonight is a perfect example of that, a combination of a player we really want and also a few more bites of the apple, not only [Friday] but next year.” Sashi Brown, executive vice president, commented that “we probably bounced around a little bit more than maybe our fans wanted us to.” At one point in the draft room, DePodesta said he and Brown and Berry exclaimed, “Let’s start picking players.” It turns out that Jackson preached patience.

More trades to come?: Since the NFL broke up the draft into multiple days, the owner of the first pick on the second day traditionally considers itself in an enviable position because teams fall in love with players still on the board and wake up with trade offers. The Browns own the No. 32 pick by virtue of alternating each round with Tennessee. Brown said they already have received interest in the pick. Earlier in the night, it was speculated the Browns were anxious to move up from No. 32 to the first round. Brown said that wasn’t the case. Trading up – giving away picks – wouldn’t seem to be favored by the analytics, but DePodesta left open the door in the future. “We would consider anything,” he said. “We considered today moving up in a particular position. I think we would in the right spot, but I don’t think we’ll do it often.”

He scores touchdowns: Jackson said the plan was to draft a receiver “as fast I could get one, and obviously, one that runs really fast and knows how to score touchdowns. That’s what this guy can do for us.” Coleman wasn’t the biggest receiver in the draft (5-10 5/8, 194 pounds), nor the fastest (4.40 was his pro day 40 time), but Jackson insists he is “one of the most dynamic players in this draft on offense.” Coleman won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s best receiver in his junior season. He scored an NCAA-best 20 touchdowns through his team’s first eight games, and then Baylor’s quarterback position was decimated by injuries, or else that number would have been greater. For his career, Coleman averaged 17.4 yards per catch and improved his statistics each season. He benefitted from Briles’ wide-open passing system, which had limited routes. He was used everywhere, including direct snaps in the backfield and laterals. The Browns didn’t consider Baylor’s system a negative in evaluating Coleman. “From my standpoint, I felt if he can be productive running only four routes, imagine what he can do under [Jackson’s] scheme. I actually think it is an upside for us” said DePodesta. Coleman said, “I’m always going to have to get better at everything I do, but I don’t think it will be a main thing. I ran NFL routes out of high school. I came to Baylor and had to make an adjustment running routes and in the NFL I’ll have to make an adjustment and figure out everything all over again.”

A tough player: Coleman has been described as “deceptively powerful.” Jackson said he plays bigger than his size. Asked to name an NFL receiver he tries to emulate, Coleman answered Antonio Brown and Steve Smith – two highly competitive and tough receivers catching and running with the ball. “I got a lot of respect for their game, the way they play, their passion and stuff like that.” Jackson said, “Corey has tremendous lateral ability like AB does, and it’s not fair to compare because this guy has got to do it. What Antonio Brown is is kind of unheard of. At the same time, this guy is going to make his way, and I’m glad he wants to compare himself that way and he feels that’s one of the guys he idolizes.”
