WATCH: Andrew Berry Checking In On The Wide Receivers at Senior Bowl Practice
Cleveland could be looking to bolster its passing game early this offseason. With new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey set to join the staff, the changes are just beginning for the Browns offense.
Adding weapons for Deshaun Watson may be at the top of the priority list for general manager Andrew Berry and the Browns

Rumors are already starting to circulate that Cleveland could be interested in some of the the big-name wide receivers on the market. The Browns will make their pitches to them, and they may even have a chance to land a splash free agent.
The draft is more of a controllable space to land players of interest though and when the Browns are on the clock with the 54th pick, they may call a rookie wide receiver.
On Tuesday, Berry was seen at the Senior Bowl, glued in on the wide receiver workouts and eyeing up the skills guys who were competing in Mobile, Alabama. Not only is Berry getting a front-row seat to the wide receivers, but Browns assistant coach Callie Brownson is the wide receiver coach for the week. She is coaching and evaluating the talent up close and personal each day of practices.
Berry may just have his sights set on drafting a wideout in the second round to bolster a room that could use some depth. There are a few names Browns fans should keep an eye on.
The top names like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Rome Odunze are not going to be options for the Browns but could they make an aggressive push at a guy like Keon Coleman out of Florida State or even Troy Franklin from Oregon. Or if they wait until a little bit later in the draft, guys like Texas' Xavier Woody or Georgia's Ladd McConkey may drop to them at 54.
The draft game is a fun one to play and the Browns will have some options if wide receiver is on their wish list this offseason. Taking a young wide receiver that could become an impact player and a long-term piece is something Berry has done before and he may just do it again.
