Browns 2012 Draft Preview - Morris Claiborne

LSU Cornerback Morris Claiborne is almost unanimously the best defender in the draft and will be a day 1 starter wherever he goes. 

Reason Browns will draft him:  In the pass-heavy NFL you can never have two many good CBs, and the Browns only have one.  Starting Claiborne opposite Joe Haden would make the Browns improving defense very very good.  Claiborne is considered a can't-miss choice.

Reason Browns won't draft him:  Although a need, not even close to the biggest for the Browns.  With the first two picks of the last two drafts dedicated to defense (Phil Taylor, Jabaal Sheard, Joe Haden, TJ Ward) the Browns need to turn their attention to getting some playmakers for their anemic offense.

Likelihood the Browns take him:  Medium to low.  There are players just as good at higher priority positions.
