Quincy Wilson

CB, Florida

At No. 12, the Cleveland Browns will select for the second time in round one, and they will likely go defense if they take Deshaun Watson with the first overall pick. The Browns have a terrible secondary, and it is an area that needs to be addressed immediately. While Joe Haden is a Pro Bowl player at cornerback, he literally has no help back there, so bringing in a shutdown corner has to be a priority next April.

Quincy Wilson of Florida is a very exciting player who can take away one side of the field. Wilson teamed with Teez Tabor to give the Florida Gators the best cornerback tandem in the SEC last season, and both players are likely to hear their names called in the first round of the draft. Wilson has the kind of shutdown ability the Browns need if they want to actually win more than one game during the 2017 NFL season.

Cleveland is not going to sit on their hands this offseason, as head coach Hue Jackson has vowed that they will be much improved from 2016. That is not going to be a hard task considering they won only one game last year, but it is a good sign for Browns fans that their head coach actually cares about the organization. Wilson and Haden at the cornerback position would actually give the Browns an edge on the outside against the passing game, which is something they have not had in a long time.
