Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer may not believe in taking a wide receiver high in the draft, but the rest of the NFL world does.

Many mock drafts have the Browns pigeonholed into taking a wideout with the first of their two first-round picks, 12th overall. Almost all have them taking a wideout either 12th or 19th.

A consensus seems to be growing that the Browns won't be able to take the two top wideouts; Amari Cooper of Alabama or Kevin White of West Virginia are expected to go in the top 10.

That leaves a logical and appealing choice at 12: DeVante Parker of Louisville.

That's the player ESPN's Todd McShay has the Browns taking in his third mock draft. And it makes good sense. Adams is a 6-foot-3 receiver who had 43 catches in six games after he returned from a broken foot. He averaged 142.5 yards per game and topped 200 against Florida and 180 against Kentucky. He is a logical, talented pick, and the Browns would do well to bring him to Cleveland.

The other general thinking from draft analysts is the Browns will use the 19th pick for a right tackle to replace or compete with Mitchell Schwartz. For whatever reason, the thinking is the team needs to upgrade at right tackle. Thus, McShay has them taking offensive tackle Ereck Flowers of Miami with their second first-round pick.

However, this does not jive with the Browns' feelings on Schwartz. The team does not believe he is a weak link.

"I thought Mitchell [Schwartz] had a good year for us," coach Mike Pettine said at the combine. "Had some plays he'd want to take back, but we feel good about where our offensive line is."

Pettine doesn't do a lot of dancing when he evaluates players, so to assume the Browns need to update a position the coach doesn't want to upgrade might not mesh.

To me, it still makes more sense for the Browns to think defensive front with the 19th pick.
