Cleveland Browns fill two biggest needs in two-round 2020 NFL Mock Draft
41. Browns, Hunter Bryant, TE, Washington
Tight end has been virtually non-existent on this roster during the 2019 season, so the Cleveland Browns have no choice but to address the second biggest glaring need on the team.
It was thought David Njoku would play a big role for Cleveland’s offense in 2019, but a Week 2 wrist injury derailed his season.
Now, there’s rumors that this could be Njoku’s last season in Cleveland. The Miami “U” product wasn’t a pick of Dorsey. It was Sashi Brown who made Njoku a first-round pick, along with Myles Garrett and Jabrill Peppers back in 2017.
Peppers is gone, and it’s not like Njoku has set the world on fire when healthy. In fact, drops plagued his early years as a pro.
In drafting Hunter Bryant, the Browns wouldn’t be adding a blocking tight end. This guy is Jacob Eason’s favorite target in Washington. He’s caught 41 passes for 647 yards and three touchdowns.
At 6-foot-2, 239 pounds, Bryant is said to be a good route runner with soft hands.
If the Browns don’t choose a tight end, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Dorsey go with another offensive lineman, or a safety.
Damarious Randall is set to walk in free agency and it’s unclear if 2018 late-round pick Sheldrick Redwine is ready to become a starter.
