This Cleveland Browns Mock Draft starts at receiver and gets interesting

The Cleveland Browns are going to need depth at linebacker and safety regardless of what happens in free agency. The Browns linebacking corp is going to see a lot of turnovers I think, and the Browns already know they have holes at safety. Jack Sanborn (PFF #120) could fill in both those spots if necessary. He’s not a guy who screams “starter material” but he could be a Tony Fields hybrid type of player.

It’s really going to come down to his 40-time. Jack Sanborn is estimated to run between a 4.6-4.7 40-time, and that may be good enough to play a coverage linebacker, backup safety, and special teams guy in the NFL. That’s essentially what John Johnson III ran.

The Wisconsin product has a natural nose for the ball, so beyond what he could potentially offer as a pro, what he offered in college was a unique skillset. He had 29 career tackles for a loss at Wisconsin, with 16 of those coming as a senior. He’s also posted two seasons of at least five sacks as well.

These are all great signs that, as a project, Sanborn could be interesting. With the future of Mack Wilson and the rest of the previously mentioned linebackers being in limbo, the Browns drafting two-hybrid linebackers like they did last year isn’t out of the question.
