Cleveland Browns: 17 wide receiver targets in free agency
By Sam Penix
6. Nelson Agholor – Las Vegas Raiders – 27
Nelson Agholor was frustratingly inconsistent for five seasons with the Eagles, but had a great 2020 with the Raiders, averaging a fantastic 18.7 yards per catch. His hands are still unreliable, but he just gets open down the field.
5. Isaiah McKenzie – Buffalo Bills – 25
Cleveland signed JoJo Natson to return punts and to attempt to provide any sort of motion threat on offense. He wasn’t very effective before suffering a torn ACL, but the intent was sound.
Isaiah McKenzie is what the Browns were hoping Natson could be, and more. He hasn’t been a full-time returner since 2018, but that’s because he became much more involved on offense. Perhaps he’ll be even better in a larger role.
4. Chris Godwin – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 25
The crown jewel of the market this offseasons (outside of Dak Prescott), Godwin will get paid, and for good reason. He’s been one of the NFL’s best receivers over the past few years, and is ready to function as a No. 1 option. He has solid size at 6-1 210 pounds and has more than enough speed to win at all areas of the field.
He had some drop issues in the playoffs, but dropped just four passes over his first three seasons, so there is bound to be some regression to the mean there. The Browns obviously cannot afford him at the moment but are just two moves away from creating plenty of money to land Godwin.
