A look at three players in the 2018 NFL Draft that the Cleveland Browns could consider adding with one of their later selections

It’s no secret that this is a big offseason for the Cleveland Browns. With big name free agents and over $110 million in cap space, the team has nowhere to go but up following their 0-16 record in 2017.

On top of their NFL-leading amount of cap space, the team also has an abundance of draft picks. While everyone is focusing on the strategy at the top of the draft, it’s sometimes hard to remember that there is often great value in the later rounds as well.

The Browns have 12 picks this year, including seven in the first four rounds. As important as it is to get quality players in the early rounds that can contribute immediately, it’s also important to add quality at the end of the draft.

Whether these players come through as contributors on the field, or just add depth to a team starving for talent, the fact remains that Cleveland can ill afford to miss on even one pick.

The Cleveland Browns have done a lot of trading in the past few seasons to build up to having this much draft capital. With holes aplenty across the roster, they have a great shot at getting someone who can play a significant role this season and for the future of the franchise. Here are three late round prospects that the Browns should consider drafting.
