The Browns could add future starters at the end of the third round.
The Cleveland Browns appear to be picking up the intensity with their official 30 visits with draft prospects as multiple new reports have taken place over the last few days. You can check out the full list of reported visits at the tracker on our website which we will continue to update.
With the options at the top of the draft narrowed down, let’s take a look at some players who may be available at the end of round three where the Browns select 94th overall.
Currently, Travis Hunter is the odds-on favorite to be the first-round pick, so in this exercise, we will take the wide receiver position off the board. That still leaves plenty of spots on the roster to be addressed in the final two days of the draft.
You can check out the five options I wrote about in the previous picks on night two:
Now, let’s take a look at who could be in play for Cleveland at pick 94.
TE Gunnar Helm
Helm tested poorly at the combine despite his production this year at Texas. It was later disclosed that he suffered a sprained ankle during his first attempt at the 40-yard dash.
His tape showed sure and soft hands catching the ball and his ability to gain yards after the catch stood out.
RB Dylan Sampson
Sampson is an elusive runner with tremendous start-stop ability with excellent speed. Most of his carries were out of the gun in Tennessee’s gimmicky offense.
He is also one of the youngest players in the draft and will be only twenty years old on draft night.
SBillie Bowman Jr.
Bowman plays with his hair on fire and his toughness and competitiveness show up on tape. A bit undersized, Bowman has the versatility to play in the slot and centerfield safety spot.
He needs to improve his tackling consistency and his shorter arms could be a detriment to his ability to correct it.
DT Deone Walker
Walker is an anomaly due to his size, at 6’7” and over 330 lbs. He showed incredible flashes of athleticism on tape but overall had very inconsistent reps and production throughout the year. The upside is there and I could see Jim Schwartz being enamored with his talent.
OL Emery Jones Jr.
If the Browns fail to draft an offensive tackle earlier, Jones could be a worthy dice roll on a developmental tackle. In a worst-case scenario, he could move inside to guard and eventually become a productive starter.
He showed raw talent and needs to refine technically with coaching. A year of gaining strength will also help him reach his potential as a starting tackle.
Any of these players would be worthy of a late third-round pick and could find a role for the team as soon as this year.
Which of these players would you like most at this spot? Should we prioritize a specific position? Let us know in the comments below.
