5 Best Cleveland Browns third round draft picks since 1999

1. Daylon McCutcheon, DB

One thing McCutcheon did that nobody else on the list has done is spend his entire career in Cleveland. Some are still on the roster but none of them were drafted by and retired a Cleveland Brown.

He was drafted in 1999 the year they returned to Cleveland and his career was only six years but he was incredibly durable and played 103 games. He played at least 15 games four times.

As a rookie, he started 15 games and had a career-high 79 tackles one interception and eight pass breakups. He had at least one interception every year of his career.

He had a career-high four interceptions in 2001 along with 73 tackles, eleven pass breakups, and two forced fumbles, easily the best season of his career.

His numbers started to dwindle as he got older and the injuries started to pile up but he always productive when he was on the field. It was his performance in the Browns last playoff game that cemented him at number one on the list.

The last time Cleveland made the postseason was following the 2002 season as they matched up with rival the Pittsburgh Steelers. They lost the game 33-36 but McCutcheon came up with two interceptions and deflected two more passes. That is the type of big-time that people remember.

In his career in Cleveland McCutcheon racked up 12 interceptions, including two pick-sixes, 53 pass breakups, 431 tackles, and seven forced fumbles. He is the best Browns third-round pick since 1999.
