2011 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland Browns Covet Julio Jones to Boost Receiving Corps

With Mike Holmgren fully in charge and his team-rebuilding gears turning, this should be the first real draft where the team starts taking shape.

Holmgren is a master of rebuilding and it may take a few years, but it will get done. With all of the players available at the No. 4 spot, Holmgren will be looking for a big time player that can pay off for years.

Todd McShay: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

Team president Mike Holmgren has done his best to get a go-to for every team he's worked for (Seattle took 12 wide receivers under Holmgren from 1999-2007), and Jones' physical approach and blocking prowess are good fits in the Browns' West Coast offense.

Pat Kirwan: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

The Browns need offensive playmakers. They haven’t had any since Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards. If the team wants to truly evaluate Colt McCoy, they need to give him a go-to receiver. Jones will also be a terrific blocker in the run game. He could remind Mike Holmgren of Sterling Sharpe.

What I think: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

Julio Jones is one of the most talented receivers coming out this draft and his intangibles are a real plus. He can block, run routes and will be an instant help to young quarterback in need of some help.

Jones will be a solid fit into Holmgren’s west coast offense style of play and his work ethic will endear him to his teammates.
