Post-Draft Outlook:BEST PICK: Cornerback Joe Haden: The secondary was abysmal last season. The Browns missed safety Eric Berry by two picks, but they got the best cornerback in the draft. The Browns are not discouraged by a slow 40-yard dash time at the combine. He should be an immediate starter at right corner. He is a better tackler than Brandon McDonald, who started 10 games last season.
A closer look at the Browns' picks: Round 1/7 -- Joe Haden, CB, 5-11, 193, Florida, The Browns ranked 29th in the NFL in pass defense last season. They traded for CB Sheldon Brown, but wanted more. When safety Eric Berry went fifth, the Browns took the best corner in the draft two picks later. - by The Sports Xchange

Draft Scout *Joe Haden News
12/17/12 - CB Joe Haden broke up two passes.
12/05/12 - CB Joe Haden will be matched against Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe on Sunday.
12/02/12 - CB Joe Haden made four tackles and broke up a pass. The Browns are 4-3 when he played and 0-5 when he did not.
11/26/12 - CB Joe Haden continues to be the defensive fulcrum for the Browns. The defense struggled to stop Tony Romo in Dallas with Haden out, but against the Steelers, Haden was on the field and contributed to the team getting a seemingly unheard of total of eight turnovers. In the five games Haden has missed this season, the Browns are winless. In the six games he's played, they are 3-3.
11/23/12 - CB Joe Haden returned to practice after missing the Dallas game with an oblique strain, and tweeted he was happy to be back. But he was not full-go in practice, and instead was limited. Haden is a key to the Browns' defensive success, though if he misses the Steelers game it might have a little less of an impact given Pittsburgh is starting its third-team quarterback.
