Our draft series takes a look at the best players the Cleveland Browns have ever landed in the seventh and final round of the draft since returning to the league in 1999

We have taken some time to look at some of the best players taken by the Cleveland Browns in every round of the draft since they re-joined the league in 1999. So far, we have checked out the top-5 players from rounds one through six and now finish with the final round of the draft — the seventh.

There aren’t many 7th-round picks who make it big in the NFL, but there have been some who had respectable careers. Unfortunately for the Browns, those players are few and far in-between.

With that being said, we jump right in here to select the five best seventh-round picks for the Browns since 1999.

Notable Omission: Hayes Pullard, LB, 2015

Hayes Pullard ended up having a four-year career in the NFL and was able to put together one very good season in 2017. That year, he had 74 tackles and an interception. The problem is, he did this with the Los Angeles Chargers who he spent two seasons with to end his career. And before that, he was on the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015 and 2016.

In fact, Pullard, never played a down in Cleveland, being cut in September of his rookie season. He was signed off the practice squad by Jacksonville where he spent two seasons. Pullard was still trying to make it in the NFL last season, getting a shot with the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles but failed to make the regular-season roster.
