Cleveland Browns trade down in Week 10 7-round 2021 NFL mock draft

The son of legendary New Orleans Saints receiver Joe Horn, Jaycee has really come into his own this season. The main point on his resume is how he shut down Auburn’s Seth Williams, who is likely to be a Day 2 pick.

Horn is listed at 6-1 and 205 pounds, and would be the favorite to start opposite Denzel Ward in 2020 even if Greedy Williams is able to get healthy. Horn also played slot corner in 2018, so he could move inside if needed. The Browns certainly realize how important the cornerback position is, and with players like Terrance Mitchell and Kevin Johnson set to become free agents, the team will need to re-load through the draft.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a player they wanted to make sure no one else jumped them for, so they swap spots with the Browns in exchange for a 29-spot move-up on Day 3.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is getting plenty of first-round talk right now, but it remains to be seen where exactly he fits in the NFL. Is he a box safety? Is he a weakside linebacker? Listed at 6-2 215 pounds, finding the right role for him will be critical, and the Browns just so happen to have an opening at a third safety spot that replaces an LB on the field.  JOK’s claim to fame is his fluidity and coverage ability.

In Cleveland, he’d play a hybrid role that would allow him to use his skills effectively; Ronnie Harrison would start at strong safety, Grant Delpit at free safety, and Owusu-Koramoah would be the moneybacker. The Browns haven’t had a linebacker that can legitimately cover in quite some time, save Joe Schobert’s 2018 campaign that seems more and more like a fluke.

JOK, much like Isaiah Simmons, needs to go to a team that has a clear vision for his usage. He can’t be a square peg in a round hole. Let him cover receivers and tight ends and reap the benefits.
