The Cleveland Browns entered the NFL Draft with some serious needs. After three rounds, the Browns have managed to address some of those weaknesses.

I have let it be known that I wanted the Browns to get help in the secondary, which I felt was the teams biggest need. Evidently Tom Heckert, Mike Holmgren and Eric Mangini felt the same way by selecting a corner back and a safety with their first two picks. Getting a quarterback late in the third round was a shrewd move. Coming up with a running back in the second round was a bit of a surprise, i didn’t see that one coming. Cleveland also selected an offensive guard with pick number 92.

With three picks left in the final four rounds, numbers 160, 177 and 186, here’s a look at the newest members of the Cleveland Browns.

Round 1 (7)   Joe Haden CB, Florida – The top rated corner in the draft. Haden is a physical player who excels against the run as well as the pass. The Browns needed a lot of help in the secondary and with the additions of Sheldon Brown, along with Haden and T.J. Ward, they have helped themselves immensely.

Round 2 (38)   T.J. Ward S, Oregon – Ward is a physical player who loves to make the big hit. A solid tackler who can also cover. Ward would have probably been a first round pick if not for injuries that seemed to plagued him in college. Cleveland checked him out before the draft and were not concerned about any past injuries.

Round 2 (59)  Montario Hardesty RB, Tennessee - A big, physical runner at 6-0 225, Hardesty will join a talented and crowed backfield in Cleveland. The Browns must really like him because they traded a third and two fifths to Philadelphia to move back into the second round. Tom Heckert thinks Hardesty can be a feature back.

Round 3 (85)  Colt McCoy QB, Texas – McCoy is a very accurate QB and knows how to win. His leadership and mobility are also a plus. Cleveland may have got a steal with this pick.

Round 3 (92)  Shawn Lauvao G, Arizona State – The Browns hope Lauvao can fill the need at right guard. At 6-3 305, he is a strong run blocker who played some left tackle in college.
