5. Hunter Henry, Tight End

Tight end, Hunter Henry is a sleeper pick on this list. He has not been linked to the Browns and tight end is not a glaring need for the Browns at first glance.

There is a slight need for Cleveland at tight end because they lost Demetrius Harris as their primary backup. Additionally, starter David Njoku has had struggles with durability and catching the football. Another big reason Henry makes sense is new head Coach Kevin Stefanski loves having two tight ends on the field at the same time.

Henry and Njoku could present defenses with a tough task. Henry is excellent in the middle of the field. He is truly able to stretch the defense.

Henry has had several injury problems of his own, and that is something to consider, but when on the field he is extremely productive.

He is a threat in the red zone and that has resulted in good touchdown production from Henry. He has a career catch percentage of over 71 percent. He is reliable and can come through in big possession plays.

If the Browns can sign Henry for a small contract, he is certainly worth looking at. He could add a huge element to the Browns opposite Njoku in two tight end sets. Another weapon to the Cleveland offense.
