2.     Dontario Poe, Memphis            SHG: 92
    HT: 6-5       WT: 350

3. Jerel Worthy, Michigan State    SHG: 88
HT: 6-3       WT: 310

5.     Audie Cole, North Carolina State   SHG: 78
HT: 6-4       WT: 239

CORNERBACK

1.     Morris Claiborne, LSU             SHG: 96
HT: 6-0       WT: 173

5.     Alfonzo Dennard, Nebraska     SHG: 87
HT: 5-10     WT: 205
-Just like Prince Amukamara from last year, this Cornhusker has great cover skills that will make him a valuable asset in the defensive back field.

SAFETY

1.     Mark Barron, Alabama            SHG: 92

2.     Antonio Allen, South Carolina  SHG: 84
HT: 6-2       WT: 202
-Allen could boost his stock in the senior bowl and could slip into the second round; good field general and a solid tackler.
3.     Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State  SHG: 80
HT: 6-1       WT: 202
-One of the better defenders on a poor defense, which may cause him to slip under the radar; early third rounder is where I see him landing.

HT: 6-0       WT: 210
-Aaron Henry has solid potential and if mentored properly can be a consistent starter in the league.

Cleveland Browns Best 53 Players (1-53)
Brendan Phillips' rankings


1. Joe Thomas
-Easily the Browns best pick since re-entrance back into the league in ’99, consistently All-Pro.
2. D’Qwell Jackson
-After a couple years of injuries, Jackson re-emerged as the Browns’ best defensive player, right where he left off.

4. Joe Haden

-Cribbs is probably the second best return man in the league, only behind Devin Hester, and is slowly becoming a good option at WR.
6. T.J. Ward
-A very smart pick by Heckert to choose Ward over Taylor Mays, the sexier pick. Ward is a hard-hitter and is improving his coverage skills.
7. Phil Dawson
-The Browns’ best offensive weapon over the past decade or so, one of the most consistent kickers in the league.
8. Alex Mack
-Made his first Pro Bowl last year and proceeded to score a touchdown. Could have used that this year.
9. Eric Steinbach
-Although he was hurt all season, he’s a great blocker and should finish out his career in Cleveland.
10. Peyton Hillis
-With all the drama Hillis caused this past season, he is still the Browns’ biggest offensive threat. Don’t expect to see him in Orange and Brown next season.
11. Jabaal Sheard

16. Phil Taylor
-Not a terrible season for the 21st overall pick, although would have liked to see more consistency against the run.
17. Colt McCoy
-Indecisive, lacks arm strength, don’t be surprised if he isn’t the starter next season.
18. Dmitri Patterson
-Decent acquisition from the Eagles last off-season and may start over Sheldon Brown next season.
19. Brad Maynard
-From dropping his kids off at school to punting, the Browns couldn’t have asked for more from Maynard. Except maybe to kick away from Patrick Peterson

21. Evan Moore
-Moore had high expectations after receiving a new contract, and received 4 touchdowns.
22. Greg Little
-Showed signs of greatness, as well as signs of being raw. Potential #1 receiver abilities.
23. Jason Pinkston
-16 starts out of a fifth round pick, can’t ask for much more.
24. Seneca Wallace
-Seneca the great may well be the Browns’ starting QB next year…I’m serious.

26. Sheldon Brown
-Showed major signs of aging and looked lost at times.
27. Brian Schaefering

32. Usama Young
-Started slow, but filled in nicely for T.J. Ward after Ward was injured.
33. Alex Smith
-Smith was the best blocking Tight End, but fumbled his only carry of the year..in the red zone..wait, his only carry?
34. Jayme Mitchell
-Heckert’s treasure from the Mangini era was what everyone expected, a bust.
35. Shawn Lauvo
-Grew a little bit throughout the season, but still the weakest lineman of the five.
36. Titus Brown
-Good special teams guy who fell to injury.
37. Ray Ventrone
-The veteran of the special teams squad and played in some dime packages.
38. Christian Yount

48. Scott Paxson

49. Eric Hagg

50. John Greco
-Not enough time to fully evaluate.
51. Steve Vallos
-Almost filled in for Alex Mack, almost.
52. Thaddeus Lewis
-Never got to see the field and to see why Shurmur likes him so much.
53. Quinton Spears

46. Mike Kafka
-Third string quarterback with a lot of upside. Good arm and good fit for the west coast offensive style.
47. Trevard Lindley
-Young corner out of Kentucky that showed glimpses of suitable play this year
48. Chad Hall
-Return specialist, but undersized receiver. Good special teams guy.
49. Jon Dorenbos
-No blemishes on the record for long snaps, but can’t put a long snapper too high on the list.
50. Chas Henry
-Rookie punter from Florida. Played well…for a punter.
51. Cedric Thornton
-Rookie defensive tackle with a 6’4, 306 lb frame. Could turn out to be a good player.
52. Antonio Dixon
-3rd year defensive tackle out of Miami that continues to contribute to the Eagles defense.
53. Greg Lloyd
-Son of former great linebacker, Greg Lloyd. He excelled on special teams this year.
