Cleveland Browns build dominant secondary in 7-round mock draft
By Cory Kinnan
The Cleveland Browns fell to 2-3 and showed they still have some holes to fill. We attempt to do some patchwork here with this 2020 7-round mock draft at Week 6
The season of hype has not gone as expected throughout the first five weeks of the 2019 season. Heading into this campaign, the Cleveland Browns had done a fantastic job adding talent to their roster — a roster that had just gone 5-2 down the stretch the previous season.
Finally having a quarterback under center they believe in with Baker Mayfield, the Browns added even more talent by picking up Odell Beckham, Jr. The former New York Giants wideout joined his best friend Jarvis Landry to form one of the best receiving corps in the game. Throw in running back Nick Chubb and this team looks great. At least on paper.
As for on the field, Cleveland is struggling mightily. They had an embarrassing defeat in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans as well as a close loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Each of those losses was followed with wins as they made it look easy against the New York Jets in Week 2 and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4.
However, the wheels completely fell off in Week 5 as the Browns were housed by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. It was their third primetime game of the year as even the NFL bought into the hype.
Unfortunately, that hype seems misplaced as Cleveland is now 2-3 with games against the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots coming up next.
With all that being said, we look ahead to the offseason and try to fill some of the team’s holes with this 7-Round 2020 NFL Mock Draft.
