Cleveland Browns 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft Week 6 edition
By Sam Penix
At 5-9 and 190 pounds, Washington’s Elijah Molden is exclusively a slot corner, but he’s a really good one. He’s picked off eight passes over the past two seasons for the Huskies and forced 14 incompletions in 2019. He’s also a very good tackler, so he’d likely be a good special teams contributor which is key for players drafted in the middle rounds.
Adding Molden to play the slot would allow our first-round pick in this mock, Shaun Wade from the Ohio State University, to roam around and make use of his versatility. It would also help considering all the aforementioned names that could be heading to free agency.
Rookie left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. is developing quite nicely, and veteran right tackle Jack Conklin is having the best season of his career. Still, depth is always important on the offensive line, so adding a developmental monster in the fourth round is a smart move which is where Spencer Brown from Northern Iowa comes in.
Brown is a former tight end who is currently listed at 6-9 321 pounds. He’s got very good mobility for his size, and would be a huge problem for defenses in Cleveland’s wide zone. He could be an early swing tackle with upside for more in the future.
