Plenty of talent remains for the Cleveland Browns in Round 2

Full disclosure, I think Jeremy Chinn is going to be a fantastic safety in the NFL and want the Browns to draft him badly. This prospect from Southern Illinois was originally seen as a third or even fourth-round pick just three months ago, but has since climbed the board quickly after a great combine in Indianapolis. While Chinn is still a fantastic option, Delpit and Winfield are likely “safer” picks for the Browns at No. 41.
Many colleges overlooked Chinn in high school as he was injured his junior year when most scholarships are offered. With a lack of offers, Chinn ended up at a smaller Missouri Valley Conference school. Even at a smaller university, Chinn was recognized as a second-team Associated Press All-American in 2019.
Chinn has everything the Browns would be looking for at safety, including an NFL safety frame at 6-foot-3 and 221 pounds. At this size, Chinn ran a 4.45 40-yard dash and had a vertical jump of 41 inches. Chinn has tremendous one-on-one skills and would have the ability to lock up the most talented tight ends in the league.
Next. Browns could land franchise safety if they play their cards right. dark
Chinn has also shown the ability to be an above-average tackler, which would be important in Woods’ defense, where he would be asked to play in the box a large portion of the time. Chinn is still raw and may need some time to adjust to the change of game speed, but could turn into a tremendous talent. Browns fans should be happy if Chinn is the pick, but he may be less of an option with bigger names like Delpit and Winfield possibly available.
