Peter King Mock Draft: Browns take Shelton, Perriman

Peter King has posted his final mock draft at Monday Morning Quarterback and he has the Browns addressing what could be the two biggest holes on the roster – defensive line and wide receiver.

The Browns currently hold two selections in the first round of the draft, which kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. in Chicago. With their first pick in the draft, King has the Browns selection Washington nose tackle Danny Shelton:

The Browns love Shelton, and coach Mike Pettine desperately needs the athletic heft he’d bring to the interior line. I’ve thought during the draft process that Shelton would be strictly a two-down player, but the more I’ve talked to teams in the last week, the more I see him having some role (if not a consistent one) in the pass game; he had nine sacks for the Huskies last year and broke through offensive lines for 16.
