Leading up to the NFL draft on April 26 and 27, I'll take a look each day at a different position for each of the three local NFL teams. I'll look at current starters and backups, potential free agent pickups and draft picks.

Today: Browns special teams

Overview: Phil Dawson remains one of the league's reliable and accurate kickers, converting 26-of-30 field-goal attempts in 2007, including a 51-yarder. Josh Cribbs returned two kickoffs and a punt for touchdowns last season and helped the Browns lead the NFL in kickoff return average. Coverage-wise, the Browns allowed one punt return touchdown in 2007and, statistically, had the league's eighth-best kick return unit.

Possible moves: None likely, and Cribbs will probably continue to focus primarily on the return game with the addition of wide receiver Donte' Stallworth.

Free agent potential: No significant moves.

Draft potential: Not likely.

Tomorrow: Steelers special teams.
