The Cleveland Browns brass have been very busy at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis the past several days and here is a list of offensive players they have met with.This list is very interesting and a possible clue as to what the team may or may not decide to do in April's 2010 NFL Draft.Here are the following players:Dan LeFevour, QB, Central MichiganLeFevour is 6'3", 230 pounds, and good size for an NFL-caliber quarterback, but sadly he did not throw in Indy and he also said he is changing histhrowing motion a bit. With everything to gain since so many quarterbacks are not throwing, president Mike Holmgren has mentioned his distaste for quarterbacks who do not throw at the combine.Projected as a third- or fourth-round pick.Tim Hiller, QB, Western MichiganHiller is also a big quarterback at 6'4" and 229 pounds, but he did not make any noise when the quarterbacks took the field and threw on Sunday.Projected as being undrafted.Dexter McCluster, RB/WR, Ole MissA very intriguing addition since he is small at 5'9" and 172 pounds, but he was also able to put up more bench-pressing reps than the 241-pound Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, 20-18.
If used properly, McCluster can be very dangerous, but he did disappoint some by running a slower 40-yard dash time than the 236-pound Stanford running back, Toby Gerhart, 4.55-4.53.Projected as a second- or third-round pick.Eric Decker, WR, Minnesota (pictured above)Decker has the size at 6'3" and 217 pounds to be a good receiver in the NFL, but he did not stand out at the combine with his individual performances, and he did not run the 40-yard dash either.Projected as a fourth-round pick.Ryan Wolfe, WR, UNLVAnother receiver that did not run the 40-yard dash. Wolfe has good size at 6'1" and 205 pounds, but he did not show any flash at all.Projected as being undrafted.Anthony McCoy, TE, USCMcCoy disappointed a bit with his combine performance by running one of the slowest 40-yard dash times for tight ends at 4.79, but he is big at 6'4" and 249 pounds.Projected as a second- or third-round pick.Ed Dickson, TE, OregonDickson did impress at the combine and he ran an impressive 4.67 in the 40-yard dash despite his size at 6'4" and 249 pounds.
