Well this draft night hasn’t gone like many expected. For months the consensus has been that the Cleveland Browns would end up with quarterback Sam Darnold out of USC at No. 1 and either Penn State running back Saquon Barkley or North Carolina State defensive end Bradley Chubb at No. 4.
None of those scenarios played out. Cleveland kicked the night off by drafting Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 1 and then a couple picks later took Ohio State corner Denzel Ward.
Ward gets to stay in state to play, and was a bit of a surprise pick — for those who weren’t paying attention.
