2. Terrace Marshall, Jr., LSU

Out of all the wide receivers in this class, the one that seems the most likely to be available at No. 26 — while being a perfect fit — is Terrace Marshall, Jr. It would also feel like the right fit since he played at LSU which is where both Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry came out of.

In fact, the Browns are stacked with LSU players. Outside of their top two receivers, they also have Greedy Williams, Grant Delpit, and Jacob Phillips on the roster who are expected to have major roles on the roster this coming season.

With all that being said, it makes sense to think that Marshall could be the next member of LSU north. What makes him an ideal fit for the Browns is that he gives them something they don’t have — elite size.

At 6-foot-3 and 200-pounds, Marshall is a much bigger target than both Landry and OBJ who are both under 6-foot. He’s also no slouch when it comes to getting deep and he proved he can handle the load in 2020 when he averaged more than 100-yards in all seven games.

Marshall has very few holes in his game as he can run just about any route, wins the contested passes, and can move to the slot as well as playing on the outside. Marshall could prove to be a No. 1 wide receiver down the road while offering them much more versatility in the passing game in 2021.
