Little, Moch round out Day 2 for Ohio teams

Little, Moch round out Day 2 for Ohio teams

The Bengals finally made a Bengals-type pick.

But not until after the Browns did.

The Browns used the extra second-rounder picked up in the Julio Jones/Atlanta trade to take a wide receiver, Greg Little of North Carolina. Little was one of the North Carolina players suspended last fall for their involvement with an agent. There were whispers that teams had other concerns about Little as well, but the Browns liked him enough to make him their final pick of the second day.

The Bengals' final pick, atop the third round, was Nevada LB Dontay Moch. He's regarded as maybe the fastest linebacker in the draft and will play immediately on special teams and as a pass rusher.

One of Little's nicknames at UNC was "Freak," and it's obvious the Browns think he's unique enough to look past the outside stuff and believe he'll be the boost to the receiving corps they need. He's listed at 6'2, 230.

Little, who also played two years of running back and made a cameo on UNC's basketball team, had 62 catches for 724 yards and five touchdowns as a junior in 2009.

More on all the picks coming later.
