If Josh Gordon returns to the Browns in 2015, the team needs another receiving threat to help keep defenders from focusing on “Flash” alone. If he doesn’t, he may never, and the team needs a guy who can become a true NFL number one receiver.

RGIII visited the Browns recently, and having a playmaker like Thomas would give him an excellent chance of succeeding in Cleveland. His route running and ability to use his body as a shield against defenders is impressive.

He’d be a sure-fire first round pick if Ohio State’s offensive system didn’t limit his production in college. Look for him to be one of the best rookies in the class, and a true building block for a struggling Browns offense.

The Dawg Pound would be happy.
