Cleveland Browns 2020 mock draft: Flurry of trades net two 1st-rounders
By Mike Graham
59. . LT. Miami Dolphins. Austin Jackson. 26. player
Jackson brings immense upside for the Dolphins, he missed a big part of 2018 after donating bone marrow to his sister, and caused some issues upon returning to USC. He is a true left tackle and there are not a lot of them left on the board. Miami snags one here.
53. . LB. Cleveland Browns. Kenneth Murray. 27. player
TRADE: Andrew Berry has said he will be aggressive this offseason.He was in free agency, and now is in the draft, jumping up to fill a big need ahead of Baltimore. Linebacker for the Browns is a glaring need, Murray provides a run and hit player who strengthens the front seven. Cleveland gives up pick Nos. 41 and 74 to Seattle to nab the sensational Oklahoma backer.
. RB. Baltimore Ravens. D'Andre Swift. 28. player. 26
Running back may not be the value here, but the Ravens both value the run game, and need to get a younger option with Mark Ingram. Swift can also provide a safety value in the pass game for Lamar Jackson. Ask the Browns, Georgia backs don’t disappoint.
player. 35. . RT. Tennessee Titans. Isaiah Wilson. 29
After losing Jack Conklin, the Titans go for a true right tackle prospect from Georgia who is a road grader to help pave holes for Derrick Henry. Wilson seems to be a riser late in the draft process and this is a perfect fit for Tennessee.
WR. Green Bay Packers. Denzel Mims. 30. player. 49.
Mims is another riser in the process, he was great last season at Baylor, and concerns about drops in 2018, were quelled when it was reported that he had a broken hand. Aaron Rodgers needs help at wide out and Mims can work both underneath and over the top of defenses.
LB/S. San Francisco 49ers. Jeremy Chinn. 31. player. 42.
My guess is the Niners trade this pick, but hard to find a team going up here for a QB, or a position at the end of the run. Chinn had 14 career picks for Southern Illinois and provides a versatile piece for the Niners.
Jeff Gladney. 32. player. 124. . CB. Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City has a serious need at corner. TCU’s Gladney would remind you of Denzel Ward. A smaller, fiesty corner, who may not have Ward’s playmaking ability but won’t shy away from anyone.
