Browns pick Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman in first round

The no-receiver era has officially ended in Cleveland. The Browns took Corey Coleman with the 15th pick, the first time the Browns took a receiver in the first round since they took Braylon Edwards in 2005. In 2014 and 2015, Ray Farmer drafted one receiver — Vince Mayle — and he did not make the team out of training camp. Coleman is the first player taken in the Sashi Brown-Hue Jackson era. The conventional wisdom had Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson as the top two wideouts, but Brown said Coleman was the team's top-rated wideout.

Productive player: Coleman's resume is impressive.
