I'm not so sure that Cleveland takes Peterson. I mean, say the Raiders select a QB like everyone thinks. Then the lions take Brady Quinn or Joe Thomas. They will not take another WR that's for sure. Then Cleveland with the 3rd pick will be looking right at WR Calvin Johnson. Calvin could easily be considered the top player in the draft and very well could be drafted by the Raiders with the 1st pick. If Calvin slips to 3 which is very possible than I don't see how you can pass him up. Peterson has some questions that have to do with his injuries but Calvin has no questions at all. He is big, fast, and a high character guy which is rare for WR's in todays game. The Browns have R. Droughns. He had a down year but the prior two seasons he rushed for back to back 1200 plus yards. Their passing offense would have WR Braylon Edwards, WR Calvin Johnson and TE Kellen Winslow. How do you pass up the chance to put together that kind of air attack. So if the Browns do take Calvin, then Peterson will fall past the Bucs who have Cadillac, Arizona who have Edge, and Washington who have Portis. Peterson could fall to number 7 or 8. Quinn could fall even farther.
