No. 3: Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns had an excellent draft in general manager Andrew Berry’s first go around. The problem here is that two other AFC North teams just had better classes. The Browns filled all of their needs with talented players, including the No. 10 overall pick, Jedrick Wills at left tackle.

Berry followed that pick up drafting Grant Delpit at No. 44 overall, while also gaining an extra pick for moving down three spots. Delpit, a first round talent heading into the 2019 college football season, could be a home run pick for Cleveland.

Cleveland grabbed some nice depth pieces in the third round with Missouri defensive lineman Jordan Elliott and LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips. Both players have starting potential later on in their playing careers.

Tight end Harrison Bryant from FAU in the fourth round may be one of the best picks in this entire draft. Head coach Kevin Stefanski uses tight ends/H-backs at a high rate in his offense and Bryant fits the mold of what he is looking for in that position.

The Browns also grabbed a great value pick in the sixth round with Michigan wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, who has a chance to compete for playing time right away.
