With no picks until round four, the Browns will hold their annual cookout and croquet match at general manager Phil Savage's house on Saturday. (DA's on the grill, with Brady Quinn making sure his apron stays tied.) Seriously, though, the Browns sacrificed the early part of this year's draft to make moves they believe will put them in the playoffs this season. So this weekend is all about finding quality depth, something Savage and coach Romeo Crennel haven't done all that well in the later rounds.
With needs mainly in the secondary (to replace Leigh Bodden) and for depth at linebacker and along the defensive line. Here is how they could pick:
Fourth round (122nd overall): DE/LB Chris Ellis, Virginia Tech; LB Stanford Keglar, Purdue; CB Charles Godfrey, Iowa.
Fifth round (155th overall): DE Wallace Gilberry, Alabama; DE Craig Mester, Miami (Ohio); CB Justin Tryon, Arizona State.
Sixth round (190th overall): LB Scott Derry, Texas; LB Erin Henderson, Maryland; TE Derek Fine, Kansas.
Seventh round (231st overall): FB Jed Collins, Washington State; CB Stanley Franks, Idaho; CB Andre Jones, Nebraska.
