Usually NFL teams like to keep their draft plans a well-guarded secret. But the Cleveland Browns aren’t like most NFL teams. When the new coach isn’t asking to move the team’s video room up one floor for $500,000, the webmasters of the team’s official site are adding players to the roster they haven’t even acquired yet.
WAITING FOR NEX YEAR shares with us a simple screenshot taken from CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM featuring the bio page of Jeremy Maclin. One slight problem - the receiver just came out of college, and the NFL Draft is still a month and a half away.
Maclin is a highly touted prospect out of Missouri, and could be a welcome addition to the Browns’ lethargic offense. But now that he knows the Browns want him, Jeremy could be ready to barter for a higher salary. Or it could be a warning to try and broker a deal with some other NFL squad.
Either way, check it out for yourself - the link is still up (for now).

Right now it says "Draft Prospect" at the top. Problem solved I guess.

I thought only the Lions drafted receivers.

Actually they have a bunch of players on their website as draft prospects. If you change the last two numbers of the website you can get other players.

If they draft him they better hire a coach to tell him how to properly carry the rock.
