With the 3rd Pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select...

Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech

This is what should happen Browns fans. 6'5, legit 4.4 speed, runs great routes, unbelievable hands. Anyone questioning if he's the best player in this draft should check out his game versus the Canes his sophomore season. I would be happy with Joe Thomas, and could understand that pick. I would be happy with Jamarcus Russell and could understand that pick. Brady Quinn might be end up as a good NFL QB, but this isn't the right situation for him with the question marks on the line and the must-win-now atmosphere. Adrian Peterson, with his durability issues, I'm not sure this is the right situation for him either.

- Johnson creates single coverage for Braylon and Kellen at times and is a Pro-Bowler.
The Browns have struck out too many times in the draft to pass on a homerun like Johnson.
- Thomas helps solidify the left side of the line with Steinbach and if Bentley ever comes back healthy, wow.
- Russell's arm strength is something that can't be ignored.
