The Cleveland Browns may trade up to the No. 5 spot in the upcoming NFL Draft, but who would they choose?


Having question marks at a few categories on their roster before the 2015 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns are looking to fill some needs while making sure they don’t give up a lot.

You’re probably asking what I mean by give up a lot during the draft. The Browns have been interested in trading up to the Washington Redskins No. 5 overall pick, according to reports, and the team needs to keep in mind that seven spots isn’t worth trading away too much.

This team could be in the market to move up in order to acquire some, of many, needs and voids on the roster.

While the team chose Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel in the first round last season, it seems like they may be looking to draft another quarterback this year, or maybe some offensive firepower to surround a guy like Manziel so his job isn’t quite as difficult.

Manziel didn’t do the best job as a rookie quarterback, appearing in a limited number of games and looking like the next Tim Tebow at times. He might need someone to push him to get better and it’s the Browns drafting — and they will basically draft anyone, so don’t count another QB out.

This organization is where quarterbacks go to die so I am willing to bet the top gunslingers in the draft are hoping Cleveland isn’t their next home.

Let’s take a look at five players who the Browns may be trading up to acquire.

Next: 5. Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
