Cleveland Browns: Reaction to The Athletic’s 7-round mock draft
5th rounds, picks
144th overall. Kingsley Keke, defensive lineman from Texas A&M
Like it: Was terrific during Senior Bowl week and looks poised to play inside in the NFL after playing on the edge with the Aggies.
Don’t like it: Defensive tackle is another position group in which teams just need to accumulate bodies. Keeke was 99th on PFF’s big board. I can’t think of a reason not to like this pick.
155th overall. Stephen Denmark, a corner from Valdosta State.
Like it: Brugler was high on Denmark and considers him a sleeper because he’s only played corner one season. He was a wideout before switching to defensive back, but possesses intriguing size at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds.
Don’t like it: Hard to get upset about a fifth-round gamble at corner.
170th overall. The Browns go wideout, adding Georgia State’s Penny Hart
Like it: Posted an 84.6 grade as a junior, but that dropped to a 69.4 grade in 2018. At 5-foot-8, Hart’s future would be in the slot.
Don’t like it: Hard to believe, but the receiver is a position the Browns could’ve totally ignored and nobody wouldn’t said anything about it. Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway, Jalen Strong, Rashard Higgins…the receiving corps is as strong as it gets.
