Cleveland Browns mock draft: Bolstering the D-line
By Jacob Roach
Cleveland Browns pick number 118- Bo Melton, wide receiver, Rutgers
No matter if the Browns sign a veteran receiver they need to get some youth and talent into the room. One of my favorite receivers that have risen up my board is Bo Melton from Rutgers, a player that can get vertical in a hurry. Melton has true game-changing speed, running a 4.34 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
When you watch him on tape you can see a guy who knows exactly how to use his speed as a weapon, Rutgers got him the ball in a variety of ways. Melton often caught quick passes on slants and screens and ran away from defenses with his speed. They used him in the run game with end-around, which is a play Kevin Stefanski likes, and he made an impact that way as well.
Cleveland Browns pick number 202- Dane Belton, safety, Iowa
The Browns could use some more long-term depth at safety and corner and safety Dane Belton of Iowa is a guy that has experience doing both. The Browns lost MJ Stewart to free agency and having a guy, like Stewart, that can play slot corner and deep safety to replace him could be a really wise move to make.
Belton is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound safety with great speed, running a 4.43 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He’s a good athlete and can read and understand the play happening in front of him at a high level. Belton is a hard-hitting safety that is not afraid to come up and make a big hit in both the passing and running games.
