2020 NFL Draft: 10-Pick mock lands Cleveland Browns cornerstone player

As free agency comes to an end, all eyes will move to the NFL draft that is just under a month away.  What will the Cleveland Browns do with pick 10?

In a previously analytical era where Sashi Brown led the charge as the team’s general manager, fans saw the Cleveland Browns hoard picks and constantly trading back in drafts. While that can be a successful strategy, drafting players like Johnny Manziel, Corey Coleman, and DeShone Kizer you are not set up well for success.

What will be the Browns strategy in 2020 with Andrew Berry leading the charge? Berry has shown already to be far more aggressive than Sashi Brown was in free agency, which will hopefully continue in the draft as well. There will be a tremendous amount of talent at pick 10 to pick from.

The Browns have a gaping hole at left tackle even after the addition of free agent right tack, Jack Conklin. With Chris Hubbard likely to play sixth-man or transition to right-guard, look for the Browns to majorly upgrade at tackle with the 10th pick.

While the prized possession for many Browns fans is Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons, it’s hard to see him dropping all the way to ten. Simmons has always been highly thought of, and after a crushing combine performance, teams may struggle to pass on him.

The Browns will likely not be willing to part with the assets it would take to move up for the safety/linebacker from the University of Clemson.

Let’s look at the first 10 picks of the NFL draft to see what the Browns end up with.
