Miss. St.. Benardrick McKinney. 19. player. 53. <p>The Browns play in the AFC North, and stopping Justin Forsett, Leveon Bell, and Jeremy Hill is the best way to win divisional games. Benardrick McKinney is the most athletic linebacker in this draft class and he is a great tackler. McKinney isn’t a slouch in pass defense either, he has the athleticism to contribute in coverage and is a great blitzing linebacker.</p> <p>I promise you the Browns will draft a receiver in round two that will be a superstar (just another reason to stay tuned to GMENHQ) but for now they focus on the defense. The Browns are going with the best player available under my control. The Browns have a habit of screwing things up, so I guess my strategy may be a fresh approach for Cleveland.</p><div class=. Linebacker

Instead of forcing the wide receiver here with the 19th pick, they are going to take the linebacker who can make plays all over the field. They are going to take a rough and tough playmaker who will step in on day one and be a star.

This 6-5 249 pound player plays my favorite position in all of football. I loved watch Mississippi State play football for a reason. McKinney is a linebacker who plays fast and hits like a freight train.
