The Cleveland Browns had their top two draft picks do very well as rookies. It wasn’t enough to carry the team to the playoffs but few rookies are able to do that on their own. Instead, despite small contributions from just two other draft picks, the Browns 2021 NFL draft haul was ranked quite high at the end of the season.
The team, and their fans, are hoping this offseason leads them back to the playoffs. Our mock offseason attempted to do just that.
Greg Newsome II did a very good job across from Denzel Ward, showing scheme versatility, good coverage and a willingness to get physical both in coverage and in the run game. Selected 26th overall, Newsome was a great pick for Cleveland.
