On the night of April 26, 2018, the Cleveland Browns have the first and fourth pick of the NFL Draft. While all eyes will be on the quarterbacks, the Browns have other needs they may be wise to address. Which is why Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick should get a long look.
Fitzpatrick has a skill set that would be a welcome addition to a defense in need of playmakers. In their Jan. 22 report, Walter Football listed Fitzpatrick as the second-best safety prospect in this year’s draft. And in November of 2017, Sports Illustrated quoted an unnamed NFL general manager as saying that Fitzpatrick, a consensus All-American, could be a top-three pick.
