The Facts:
The Browns don't have a big-name, No. 1 wideout. But they hope that some of the guys on the depth chart will play like one. As Browns GM Tom Heckert explained it on PFT Live earlier this month, the Browns have specific hopes for Greg Little, a rookie second-round pick in 2011 who didn't play at all in 2010 and who had limited prep time for his first NFL season. Based on the first OTA of the 2012 offseason, coach Pat Shurmur likes what he sees from Little. "I think he has changed his body, he looks much leaner and he was running around well," Shurmur said. "I think it's his first true offseason as a pro and I think what he has done is he has taken good care of his body."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Shurmur also was happy with another past second-round pick who plays receiver for the team. "[Mohamed Massaquoi] did a nice job out there," Shurmur said. "I would say it's safe to say that they are our first two right now. As you know though, sometimes you play three receivers and sometimes you play four. There are other guys in there and we could go through the whole list if you like, but I think those other guys are competing and doing well as well. ..." For what it's worth, Cleveland Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot suggested last week that Little is capable of playing at a "Pro Bowl" level -- if the Browns can come through with the QB play necessary for him to fulfill the wideout's potential. That remains to be seen.
