#HeyTony: Which Browns have had their roster spots threatened as a result of the draft?

Editor's note: Tony Grossi covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN 850 WKNR.

Hey Tony: Who are the five Browns players who should be most worried about their standing after seeing who was drafted?

-- Merrick, Louisville, Kentucky

Hey Merrick: I would list the following Browns whose roster spots, or roles, could be in jeopardy as a result of the draft: Linebacker Barkevious Mingo; receivers Brian Hartline, Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel; quarterbacks Austin Davis and Connor Shaw; and cornerback Justin Gilbert.

Hey, Tony: Realistically, which of the Browns' 14 draft picks do you believe will start Week 1?

-- Max, Mayfield Heights, Ohio

Hey Max: This is impossible to answer with accuracy at this early stage because of unforeseen injuries and other circumstances that inevitably will occur. Nevertheless, in the interest of your question, I would answer: WR Corey Coleman, OLB Emmanuel Ogbah, RT Shon Coleman and WR Rashard Higgins.

Hey Tony: Is Cody Kessler really a big reach if it's late in the third round and you have 14 picks?

-- Eric, Ottawa, Canada

Hey Eric: I agree. The point of collecting extra draft picks is to give a team more options and increase the chances of adding productive players. If a team has, say, seven draft picks, the value of each one goes up and it probably wouldn’t use one in the third round on Kessler. But with 14 picks, the Browns had the luxury of combining a few to move up (which they did not do), or “reaching” for a player in a round, knowing it had plenty of picks left to recover from the reach. In my opinion, if you are going to reach on a player in a round, why not reach for the premium position of quarterback? I really didn’t have a problem with reaching for Kessler in the third round.

Hey Tony: Since the Browns did not take a running back in the draft, who is in the mix with Duke Johnson and the Crow [Isaiah Crowell]?

-- Tommy, St. Petersburg, Florida

Hey Tommy: Right now, the depth chart at running back includes Glenn Winston, Raheem Mostert and Terrell Watson. Watson was plucked from the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad after Hue Jackson was hired, so it’s not a stretch to think he directed that move. Watson is listed at 242 pounds, which leads me to believe he could be viewed as a fullback. I would expect the Browns to consider adding a veteran running back for depth via waivers if a third back doesn’t emerge from the ones on hand.

Hey Tony: With an inexperienced offensive line, what is the over/under on Robert Griffin III going on IR?

-- John, Spring, Texas

Hey John: The narrative of the Browns’ offensive line being rebuilt from scratch is just wrong. At left tackle is nine-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas. At left guard is Joel Bitonio, who established himself as a solid player as a rookie in 2014 and is still ascending. At center is Cam Erving, who suffered spot duty at guard as a rookie but is being groomed at center, which he played well at Florida State in his final season. At right guard is John Greco, a solid pro. At right tackle is a true competition between third-round pick Shon Coleman, fifth-round pick Spencer Drango, converted guard Austin Pasztor and free agent pick-up Alvin Bailey. Incidentally, Bailey had been working with the first team in the very preliminary stages of Hue Jackson’s offseason program. Griffin earned the reputation in Washington as an injury waiting to happen, but several players insist he is healthy and an athletic marvel. If Griffin can be taught to slide to avoid direct hints, his injuries may be a thing of the past.

Hey Tony: Do you think the Browns have moved away from Josh Gordon for good even he gets reinstated in August?

-- Danny, Chardon, Ohio

Hey Danny: Short answer: Yes. If Gordon can be reinstated -- and that is a big if -- I believe right now the Browns would examine trade opportunities for him. He doesn’t seem to fit the program. However, if they suffer a rash of injuries at receiver or if they receive positive reports of Gordon willing to sacrifice to contribute to the team, I think the Browns’ minds could be changed. Let’s revisit this in August.

Hey Tony: Does Seth DeValve have any experience as a TE blocking since he played wide receiver?

-- George, Amherst, Ohio

Hey George: He does not. But I imagine Hue Jackson would utilize him almost exclusively as a receiving tight end to complement Gary Barnidge.

Hey Tony: Other than Carson Wentz or Jared Goff, which player will the Browns regret passing on?

-- Brian, Oak Hill, West Virginia

Hey Brian: I hope it’s not Mississippi receiver Laquon Treadwell. That’s the one I favored with their first pick. Others to watch include: Arkansas tight end Hunter Henry, Eastern Kentucky rush linebacker Noah Spence, Boise state rush linebacker Kamalei Correa and Ohio State receiver Michael Thomas.

Hey Tony: Can you tell us anything about UDFA Mike Matthews? I didn’t know there was another one coming out.

-- Mark, Brook Park, Ohio

Hey Mark: Matthews is the son of Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews and the nephew of former Browns great Clay Matthews. Mike Matthews was a two-year starter at center for Texas A&M but was not ranked much higher than the seventh round. He went undrafted. He is 6-foot-2 and 297 pounds and will compete with Cam Erving for the starting center job. I’m not sure if Matthews can play guard to improve his roster chances. I would consider him a longshot to unseat Erving in training camp.

Hey Tony: You may have some inside information on this, but isn't it possible that the Browns DID try to move from No. 2 to No. 1 but the Titans' asking price was too high or they were seeking more (which they could obtain from the Titans or other later drafting teams)? I sense the Browns (Jackson) wanted Jared Goff too, but not enough to lose picks. Do you think Goff or Wentz are close to Andrew Luck as far as No. 1 draft picks go?

-- Daryl, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Hey Daryl: I asked Sashi Brown, EVP of football operations, if he considered moving up to No. 1 to assure the selection of Goff and he said no. The price to move up from No. 2 to No. 1 would have been much less than what the Rams paid to move up from No. 15. Had Tennessee dealt with the Browns -- possibly for the Browns’ No. 1 in 2017 -- it still could have bartered the No. 2 pick and received a similar deal from the Eagles that the Browns did. So, I think a trade to No. 1 was doable, except that it went against the grain of Browns analytics.
