Although the Browns added two safeties in free agency this offseason, both were only signed to one-year deals. That leaves safety as a hole in the roster, and that’s a hole Cleveland fills with their selection of Jeremy Chinn with the 41st overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

While playing at a small school and not getting any attention until draft talk really began to take off a few months ago, Chinn has really impressive tape that leaves everyone impressed. He has the ideal size of a safety at 6-foot-3 and is quick-footed. He’s able to get to where he wants to go in a hurry, and make incredible plays with his elite athleticism.

Chinn can cover just about any position in almost any scheme, be it man or zone coverage, and his size gives him the ability to match up with both quicker slot receivers and larger tight ends.

Chinn will likely have a chance to play early and often in Cleveland if he’s the selection in the second round. While Andrew Sendejo and Karl Joseph can both start, Chinn’s abilities make him someone who must certainly see the field.

The Browns should have no fear in taking someone from a small school. Time and time again, it’s been proven that you don’t have to play at a big program to be successful in the NFL. Chinn has all the makings of being a solid play-making safety in the NFL, and someone the Browns could have in their defensive backfield for the next decade.
