Cleveland Browns build dominant secondary in 7-round mock draft
By Cory Kinnan
Round 4, Pick 110: Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri
David Njoku is still very young and has shown promise, however, the Browns run a ton of dual tight end formations. Newcomer Demetrius Harris has not been cutting it as the Browns’ second tight end, Pharaoh Brown is a bandaid, and Ricky Seals-Jones, while emerging, is still unproven.
To start day-three, it would not for the Browns to take a high-ceiling tight end in the fourth round in Missouri’s Albert Okwuegbunam and hope he becomes their second tight end. Who knows? By the time Njoku is up for a new deal, the Browns may not be in a position to pay him with the salary cap situation as well, giving them another tight end on a rookie deal.
Okwuegbunam is listed at 6-5 and 255 pounds, giving Mayfield a massive target to throw to, and a bigger body to keep in and block when needed as well, a task Njoku struggles to accomplish. The Missouri target has become a red-zone target for the Tigers, scoring 17 touchdowns over the last two seasons, and tallying five already this season.
With his size, Okwuegbunam’s athletic testing numbers at the combine could make or break his draft stock as, outside of touchdowns, his offensive production has not quite been there. If he posts solid numbers, then NFL teams will start swooning over him.
