5. Cleveland Browns (via PHI)

<p>The Browns seem like they’re committed to the idea of resurrected Robert Griffin III as a viable quarterback. He’s still young enough to make that possible. It’s a matter of whether they can give him the proper help on offense. Josh Gordon is back at receiver, which is the first step but one thing they could really use is a three-down workhorse at the running back position. Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson have some ability but neither can be considered bell cows at this point.</p> <p>The idea of drafting a running back in the top five may not appeal to many Browns fans who still have nightmares of what happened with Trent Richardson. Rest assured that Leonard Fournette is a far cry from him.</p> <p>The LSU star is arguably the most talented back to come out of college since Adrian Peterson. He’s a beast with power, vision, quickness and agility  who can either elude defenders or simply run over them. This of course overshadows the fact he can also catch the ball. Griffin would scarcely ever have to worry about his health if he could just feed this guy.</p>. RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette . 5. player. 54
