Cleveland Browns trade down for sleeper in 2020 2nd-round mock draft
Picks 38-42
38. Panthers, Grant Delpit, S, LSU
the run on safety starts with the Browns out of reach.
39. Minnesota, Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota
Another safety who would’ve looked good in a Cleveland uniform. You have to wonder if this forecasts what’s to come. The Vikings would almost certainly trade safety Anthony Barr after making this pick.
40. Houston, Ezra Cleveland, LT, Boise State
It’s about depth for Bill O’Brien, who has the flexility to put Cleveland elsewhere on the line with Laremy Tunsil as his anchor at left tackle.
41. Chiefs, Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah (from Browns)
TRADE: The Browns trade out of No. 41 as the prospect of adding a 2021 second-round pick is too great for Paul DePodesta to pass up. After giving Patrick Mahomes another weapon in the first round, Andy Reid strengthens the defense with this pick.
42. Jaguars, Jacob Eason QB, Washington
Cult hero Gardner Minishew is safe for now, but Eason is worth developing here.
