2004 Amateur Draft:
The Browns go WR with the top pick
We select at 22 for our picks
At pick one, there are a ton of good players but none that I need, so I go with the best LB on the board.
In the 2nd we have picks 13, 22, and 20. I take a very developed WR from Alabama who can start immediately for us and do well, I hope.
I then take a DT and a LB.
In the 3rd, the pickings are very, very slim. This is not a deep draft. I just BPA until the end.
Draft Recap:
1 - LB Richard Dunlap, Illinois
2/13 - WR Monty Swift, Alabama
2/20 - DT Neal Castillo
2/22 - LB Jessie Austin, Utah
3/22 - RB Vince McDaniel, Nebraska
3/24 - DE Ian Smith, Texas A&M - Kingsville
4 - FB Desmond Casanova, Notre Dame
5 - S Arnold Ramthun, Arkansas (returner)
6/7 - RB Thomas Halton, Florida
7 - TE Buddy Gardner, Hofstra
Post draft, our rookies are signed and we have 37 players on roster and 16 million in spending money. Time to round out the roster.
