Browns Mailbag: Which draft picks are poised to contribute right away?

Just two weeks into its re-launch, the Browns mailbag has gone international.

You’ll see why if you hang around all the way to the end of this week’s edition.

I really like this year's rookie draft class. I see at least seven of the 12 picks contributing to the team. Do you agree? Mainly Orchard, Cooper, Shelton, Duke, and sixth-round steal at fullback Malcolm Johnson. -- Anthony B., Hampton, Ga.

This isn’t emphasized enough, but we’ll do it now before diving deep into this question. Though the Browns drafted double the players they did last year, it doesn’t necessarily mean the team will be relying on more rookies than ever in 2015.
