2. Kenny Stills – Wide Receiver

Full disclosure, some people hate taking a linebacker in the first round of the 2021 draft, I feel similar about a wide receiver. The Browns appear to have plenty of talent in the room, and if Beckham can’t stay healthy, I think they are still okay. Donovan Peoples-Jones showed a ton of promise last year and I think he can be the man-to-man beater the team needs.

Another speedster that could fit in nicely, is veteran Kenny Stills. With 8 years of experience in the NFL, Stills has had multiple strong seasons and will be ready to redeem himself after a sluggish 2020.

Stills has the speed to be the deep threat the Browns need and could be the guy who gets open underneath on third-down situations.

Last but not least, the price tag on Stills would be relatively cheap. Sign Stills to a one-year deal and see if he is worthy of an extension next year when that room is likely fully rebuilt.

It will be tough to get mad if the Browns go wide receiver in the first round, but there is far too much talent to waste that pick for 2021. I hope to see Berry address wide receiver in free agency or later in the draft and then refocus next offseason.
