Antonio Callaway release shows Cleveland Browns 2018 draft was largely a bust

The 2018 draft may be what ultimately gets the Cleveland Browns over the hump and from the cellar of the NFL to championship contender. A draft that netted them Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick, Nick Chubb in the second round, and a quality defensive back, one would think that the entire draft went great.

With the release of troubled wide receiver Antonio Callaway on Thursday, however, the team’s overall outlook on the 2018 draft class took a hit. Callaway came into the league with issues at the University of Florida, but John Dorsey took a chance on a character risk player for skill, something he has done his entire career in NFL front offices.
