Cleveland Browns: Joint 7-round mock draft after 2019 NFL Scouting Combine
By Cory Kinnan
Randy: Blace Brown, CB, Troy
Troy doesn’t send many big names to the NFL, but Blace Brown could develop into one of them. He’s looking like a mid-round pick right now, but has everything you want in an NFL corner, and in a deep cornernack room, Brown with have time to develop in Cleveland without being thrust into action right away.
Cory: Khalen Saunders, DL, Western Illinois
The overhaul along the defensive line continues. Almost unheard of prior to the pre-draft process, Khalen Saunders is now one of the most fun names to root for in this year’s class. The backflipping phenom from small-school Western Illinois carried his momentum from the Senior Bowl into the combine, where he ran 5 flat 40-yard dash at 324 pounds and put up 27 reps on the bench press while jumping out of the building for a big man. What could be a nice rotational piece for the Browns defense, Saunders is snagged here in the fourth round.
Shane: Dax Raymond, TE, Utah State
David Njoku is the only real receiving threat at the tight end position and the team needs depth there. Prepping to replace Fells in another year or two, Dax Raymond is an excellent blocker and a reliable target in the passing game opposite Njoku. With Seth Devalve struggling to stay healthy and produce in 2018, it may be time to add another piece to the tight end room.
