Joe Haden: Browns should bypass QB in Round 1 of draft

Joe Haden is hoping the Browns don't go fishing for a new quarterback with their top pick in the 2016 .

Cleveland's two-time cornerback believes the franchise, which holds the draft's second overall pick, is in good quarterback hands with Josh McCown and , who was last month.

"If it was on me, I like and I like Josh McCown," Haden . "I think that we can definitely get it done with them. I think we need some help on the offensive line. I think that we need ... we might be able to get a defensive pass rusher and like a safety."

Haden said he'd be excited for his team to draft Florida State defensive back , and he's not the only NFL star to to his club. Ohio State's and UCLA's are other possibilities for Cleveland. They could even pair Ole Miss left tackle with All-Pro Joe Thomas, as NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks does in . As of Thursday, the Browns' chances of getting their choice of any quarterback with the No. 2 pick all but disappeared when the Los Angeles Rams traded , presumably to take a quarterback.

If the Browns take a quarterback, the pick is expected to be whichever of Cal's or North Dakota State's is still available. Another potential option, one that , would be to trade out of the No. 2 pick and add additional choices to bolster a roster with more than its share of needs.
