“I’AM LEAVING” NFL Wide receiver Amari Cooper has announced that he is leaving the Cleveland browns due to…..
The Cleveland Browns are not scheduled to take part in the 2024 NFL draft until the No. 54 overall pick.
The Browns do not have a first-round pick because of the Deshaun Watson trade with the Houston Texans. They only have five draft picks in total.
Draft-day trades seem unlikely for the Browns given their lack of draft picks to work with, but they could be willing to deal if the second round breaks their way.
A handful of players could drop into the second round, which could lead to the Browns brass packaging their second-round pick with another selection to move up.
Cleveland’s ideal trade partners in the second round should be teams with multiple picks, like the Washington Commanders.
Washington is currently scheduled to pick at Nos. 36 and 40. It has six total picks in the top 100.
The Browns could try to pry away the No. 40 pick from the Commanders to land extra wide receiver help.
Cleveland landed Jerry Jeudy in an offseason trade, but it could use a third consistent pass-catcher behind Amari Cooper and Jeudy.
Washington’s Ja’Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan are two of the wide outs who were projected to land in the second round in the latest mock draft from Bleacher Report’s NFL scouting department.
Cleveland could package its second-round pick and one more of its selections in a deal that would likely move it ahead of any other team with a wide receiver need.
