Browns draft WR Jordan Payton, who was productive and reliable at UCLA

Jordan Payton is one of the more sure-handed and productive receivers in the draft. He scored 12 touchdowns the last two seasons at UCLA, and he had very few drops. Payton had 78 catches as a senior, and is UCLA's all-time reception leader with 201. He also had a catch in his final 29 games.

My take: It's interesting. Put Payton in the fourth round and Auburn's Ricardo Louis in the fifth and these two picks would have a completely different feel. Payton was a reliable, productive and dependable receiver at UCLA. His attitude: "I'm not scared to go over the middle, not scared to do the dirty work.
