Laquon Treadwell. 2. player. 53. <p>Everything about this draft comes down to one question: are the Cleveland Browns prepared to move forward with Johnny Manziel as their quarterback? Word has it that GM Ray Farmer is not popular inside that organization and is likely to be fired. That clouds the issue a bit but until such a thing happens, he remains in charge.</p> <p>Manziel hasn’t made life easy for the Browns, thanks to a number of off-the-field distractions coupled with some clunker performances. Still, he continues to flash some of the playmaking skill that made him a legend in college. If given enough time to develop and gain some experience, there might still be time to salvage his career. That means top priority shifts to putting a solid cast of weapons around him.</p> <p>This team has been devoid of a top wide receiver ever since Josh Gordon ruined his career with his drug issues. They need a credible No. 1 target Manziel can grow with. Laquon Treadwell is unquestionably the best receiver in the draft. He possesses good size, sleek athleticism, speed and explosive leaping ability that allows him to make tough catches look easy.</p>. WR. Ole Miss
