During Wednesday's media conference call, ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper, Jr. said that if present Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden was in the 2013 draft, he'd be the first quarterback selected, reports the Akron Beacon-Journal's Nate Ulrich. 

Because of this, Kiper does not believe the Browns will, or would be wise to, select a quarterback with their sixth-overall pick in this year's draft. Instead, he believes defense will be their top priority, especially with the team moving from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense under new coordinator Ray Horton.

One potential target, Bjoern Werner, may not be ideal for the Browns, with Kiper saying that Werner looks to be better-suited to play 4-3 defensive end rather than 3-4 outside linebacker.

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Cleveland Browns have signed punter Spencer Lanning. This may mean Reggie Hodges, who is an unrestricted free agent, won't be re-signed this offseason.

Ethan Grant of Bleacher Report says it would be a major coup if the Browns can land free-agent wide receiver Mike Wallace next month.
