Round 4, Pick 105: Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF

Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry have the top-two receiving slots locked up. Behind that, there are a lot of question marks for the Browns as they enter the 2020 NFL Season.

Rashard Higgins is a free agent and they didn’t use KhaDarel Hodge or Damion Ratley very consistently last season, although each showed some flashes of being playmakers. Before those two were in the third-string picture, the Browns were hoping Antonio Callaway could have filled the role, but he’s in the XFL after being unable to follow the rules of the NFL.

Cleveland could look to free agency to fill some of the void but that doesn’t seem to be the right move. With OBJ and Landry already accounting for so much in salary cap space, the front office will need to look for bargains — and that’s what they find here in their first of two picks in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with Gabriel Davis.

What Davis has that both OBJ and Landry don’t possess is great height. At 6-foot-3 and 212-pounds, he would be a great compliment to the two polished receivers. While they can win with quickness, veteran savvy, and for OBJ great speed, Davis can use his body to box out defenders and pull in contested passes.

He isn’t refined as a route runner and he doesn’t explode in his routes but he has plenty of starts in his career and doesn’t drop much of anything. There’s a place in this offense for him, no doubt.
