Nick Harris (5th round)

When the Browns drafted Nick Harris in the 5th round, it was pretty clear that they were drafting depth at the offensive line position.

While we didn’t get to see too much of Harris this season, we did get to see a little bit of what he is able to do. Harris appeared in 12 games this season, starting one of those games. Again, Harris was moved around the offensive line when different guys were injured or out, so being a center and being flexible on where you play was a nice luxury for the Browns to have.

In 143 offensive snaps for Harris, he only committed one penalty and allowed two sacks. The entire Browns offensive line remains under contract for next season, so unless something odd happens, expect the Browns to again use Harris for depth around the offensive line.

Harrison Bryant (4th round)

After what as a very exciting first several weeks of the season for Harrison Bryant, I end the season having a bag of mixed emotions when it comes to him.

Bryant had an average rookie season as a tight end. While he did come up big in a game or two on the receiving end, his ball security ended up frustrating a lot of people. He fumbled twice in his inaugural season, something you don’t want to see from a guy who only has 24 receptions in a season.

If you think two fumbles is nothing, just use Austin Hooper as an example. Hooper has been in the league since 2016, has 260 career receptions, and has never coughed it up once. I was one who before the season started prioritized Bryant over David Njoku, and was dead wrong as Njoku proved a lot of people wrong this season, including myself.
