Browns were leaning Bradley Chubb, decided to go with Denzel Ward instead

HRM_rdnlnFeO
The Cleveland Browns surprisingly selected CB Denzel Ward with the fourth overall pick and it's a choice that they may live to regret.

If the draft had been held this morning, Bradley Chubb possibly would be a Brown right now.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Browns were leaning heavily toward Chubb on Thursday morning. As the day unfolded, however, they ended up changing their minds and leaning toward Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward.

Ward fills a need that was created last year when Joe Haden was cut. And the Browns now have addressed each side of the ball with two of the first four picks.
