Cleveland Browns: 2019 NFL Mock Draft post Freddie Kitchens hire
By Randy Gurzi
Round 3: Lil’ Jordan Humphrey, WR, Texas
Collin Johnson got the majority of the attention for the Texas Longhorns at receiver before the season began, but it was Lil’ Jordan Humphrey who became the No. 1 target for them. The junior declared for the draft following a season in which he had 86 receptions for 1,176 yards and nine touchdowns.
On the Browns, he could possibly be a starter from day one — or at the very least sub in for formations where Jarvis Landry moves into the slot. At 6-foot-4 and 225-pounds, Humphrey is a large target, which Cleveland can use more of.
Round 3, Pick 2 (via New England): Germaine Pratt, LB, North Carolina State
The Browns are back on the clock in the third round as they own the New England Patriots third-round selection. With that pick, they land another linebacker to give them some depth. Their choice is North Carolina State’s Germaine Pratt.
The NC State product is a large-bodied linebacker who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 240-pounds. He racked up a career-high 104 tackles and six sacks as a senior. He’s also no slouch in the passing game as he’s registered four career picks.
Round 4: Kingsley Keke, DT, Texas A&M
Yes, the Browns added a defensive tackle in the first round of this mock, but they land another here by taking Kingsley Keke from Texas A&M. This school was good to the Browns when it came to Myles Garrett and they again tap the well for some D-line talent. Keke gives the Browns some solid depth and had a great senior season with 51 tackles and 7.5 sacks.
