With their first 5th rounder, the Browns should seriously consider taking John Beck, QB, BYU, who is very undervalued and has much better pro potential than some of the QBs ranked ahead of him (ie Kevin Kolb, Jordan Palmer, Jeff Rowe, etc.). Beck has a very strong arm and can make all of the throws, even with a heavy wind. He is very experienced, makes his checkdowns, and doesn't usually tip his passes with his eyes. What he lacks in general athleticism, he makes up for in clutch play and accuracy (69% completion percentage). Critics point out that he is simply a product of his offensive system like David Klingler or Ty Detmer. I strongly disagree. His accuracy is not a product of a dink-and-dunk offense. Originally I thought the same, but after watching five of his games this year, concluded that Beck was much better than perceived. Beck can be successful in most any offense as long as he is protected adequately.
With their second 5th rounder, the Browns should take a flyer on Danny Ware, RB, Georgia. Ware is an immense physical talent who never really got the chance to showcase himself fully at Georgia with the constant shuffling of RBs by the coaching staff. Ware has the size and speed to be an instant success in the NFL with the additional benefit of not having a lot of mileage on his tires due to the rotation in college.
