The Cleveland Browns had their chance to take my guy in the draft in Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins.In a stunner, they didn't as they shipped the 4th pick to Buffalo for the 9th pick and the Bills 1st and 4th rounders next season.
Cleveland then tossed Minnesota a fifth-rounder to move from 9th to 8th and then selected the best corner in the draft in Justin Gilbert of Oklahoma State.
The six-foot Gilbert is the best cover guy in the draft and has a career of making interceptions as a Cowboy.
I have been pointing for years as corner as a huge need and I am happy to see Gilbert stay in orange.
I still wish Sammy Watkins would have been the choice at four and I think that the Browns didn't get enough help for 2014 by making the deal to drop five spots.
I'll be back later with more on my take on Justin Gilbert...
