Cleveland Browns Mock Draft: Best and Worst Case for Every Round, Part 2

The Boy Scouts of America's motto is "be prepared." It's also a good piece of advice for teams and fans alike to take come NFL draft day.

One pick that doesn't go "as planned" (which could mean about six different things this time of year) could throw off the agendas of every team that picks afterwards, meaning a lot happens on the fly in war rooms once the action kicks off.

If a team doesn't respond to those changes well, it could prove disastrous for their draft class. That's why it's smart to be ready for everything from the ideal to the not-so-ideal.

With that in mind, here's part two—the final seven picks—of my full, seven-round best-case/worst-case mock draft for the Cleveland Browns.

Round 5, Pick 139

Best Case: Ronnell Lewis, LB

Worst Case: Donnie Fletcher, CB

The Browns need as much help as possible at stopping the run, considering the yardage they were giving up on a weekly basis last season. Outside linebacker Ronnell Lewis is a run-stopping specialist with excellent tackling but doesn't excel at the pass rush.

That's just fine for Cleveland, who may luck out and nab him in the fifth round simply because other teams may find him to be too raw and one-dimensional to pick up earlier. Audie Cole could be an option here, as well as Tank Carder or Emmanuel Acho.

Otherwise, the Browns could benefit from building depth in the secondary and need a nickel corner to take over for Dimitri Patterson, who looks to be a full-time starter in 2012. Donnie Fletcher is best in zone coverage but has played all over the field, and has the speed and aggressiveness to contribute on special teams.

Round 5, Pick 160

Best Case: Chris Rainey, RB/WR

Worst Case: Marquis Maze, WR

The Browns need as many offensive weapons as they can get, and in the fifth round they're likely to find some steals. There's an outside chance that hybrid running back/wide receiver Chris Rainey could still be around in Round 5, and if so, the Browns should pick him up.

Rainey is a speedy and fast back who would be excellent in a change-of-pace role behind Trent Richardson (should they use the No. 4 on him) and adds an extra set of hands for Colt McCoy to target. Additionally, he's a great punt and kick returner.

Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with the Browns taking receiver Marquis Maze with this pick. He's a slot receiver who relies primarily on speed and won't be a red-zone target, but he can eat up yardage extremely well and, like Rainey, can certainly contribute as a kick and punt returner.

Round 6, Pick 204 (Compensatory)

Best Case: D'Anton Lynn, CB/FS

Worst Case: Vontaze Burfict, LB

How about some safety depth for the Browns in Round 6? D'Anton Lynn was a cornerback in college, but his size and speed might have him targeted as a safety in the draft.

It's hard to tell just how fast he is—he didn't impress all that much on the field in that area last year, but his scouting combine performance didn't help much, when he ran the 40 with a torn calf muscle. Lynn needs to work on his reaction skills and his tackling, but as a sixth-round pick, he's not too much of a risk.

I can't put Vontaze Burfict in any mock draft without considering him a worst-case addition. While he could pay off for the Browns or any team that takes him, the risks outweigh any potential rewards at this point.

I don't think Burfict is in as much danger of going undrafted as he was a month or two ago, but his stock is clearly on uneasy footing. The Browns may go for him here (or later); if they do, don't expect him to make an impact in his rookie year. He's got a lot of learning to do.

Round 6, Pick 205 (Compensatory)

Best Case: Russell Wilson, QB

Worst Case: Levy Adcock, OT

At some point in this draft, the Browns are going to pick up a quarterback.

While it may not be someone who can provide immediate competition for starter Colt McCoy, they desperately need a better No. 2 than Seneca Wallace. Russell Wilson is considered undersized, but his skill set, mind for the game and leadership qualities certainly give him a tremendous amount of upside.

He's worth the sixth-round pick and he's worth the Browns' development. At this point, I'm not convinced that McCoy doesn't have an expiration date, and Wilson could certainly earn the starting job in a few years' time.

Another option is to pick up another offensive lineman. Levy Adcock has good size (at well over 300 pounds, but could get a little bulkier) and should be a serviceable option at right tackle, and he's worth the pickup for depth a lone. His technique is already solid, but his run blocking could use a bit more nastiness.

Round 7, Pick 211

Best Case: Tramaine Thomas, FS

Worst Case: Landon Walker, OT

If the Browns don't go with a safety earlier on, the seventh round is a good spot to pick up Arkansas' Tramaine Thomas. Thomas has experience playing corner and could compete for Dimitri Patterson's old nickel role and could contribute on kick and punt coverage.

Otherwise, another offensive lineman here could be more to the Browns' liking. Landon Walker is a bit of an unknown quantity, but he was a four-year starter at Clemson, which means that he has enough experience to someday blossom into an NFL starter.

Round 7, Picks 245 and 247 (Compensatory)

It's hard to declare any player a true best- or worst-case addition when it comes to the Browns' 12th and 13th picks this year. It's the seventh round of a high-volume draft for the team, which means they can get a bit creative.

The Browns could go any number of directions here, none of them wrong. From another receiver, to perhaps Vontaze Burfict, all the way to a punter, everything is fair game. The best they can do is get a true draft gem here; the worst they can do is find their very own Mr. Irrelevant.

Trade notes: I don't entirely expect the Browns to use all 13 of their picks this year, and instead may package a few mid- and late-rounders to move up perhaps in Rounds 3 or 4 and add a pick or two next year.

However, I do not think that they will ultimately choose to trade down from either No. 4 or 22 overall, though, they could choose to trade up from No. 37 for three first-round picks, if they have someone clearly in their sights.
