Cleveland Browns pick-a-player: Adding one free agent from each AFC West team

Las Vegas Raiders: Nelson Agholor, Wide Receiver
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know what you’re thinking. Nelson Agholor? Really? Yes, despite what you think, Nelson Agholor does not suck.
In his first year with the Las Vegas Raiders, he finished as the second-leading receiver for the team, only behind Darren Waller. A player who’s known for drops, Agholor made the most of his opportunity in Vegas, becoming one of Derek Carr’s favorite and most reliable targets. Agholor has shown what type of number two receiver he can be, he could make a great third outside target for Baker Mayfield.
With a majority of the Browns receiving corps either entering free agency or being thrown around in trade rumors, Agholor could be the final piece to the Browns’ offensive puzzle. He would of course have to continue to work on his hands and catching ability but he’s becoming a polished route runner and shows signs of explosiveness off the line.
He may not be the biggest name free agent but he’s one of the better receivers available in this year’s class. Assuming he can overcome his issue with drops and can manage to stay on the field for a majority of the year, he could be the one to put this Browns offense over the top.
