The Cleveland Browns under GM Andrew Berry have spent draft capital on their secondary every year. The last NFL drafts have seen a cornerback added to the team including two of the team’s last three top picks.
The highest draft value used was on first-round pick Greg Newsome II of the Northwestern Wildcats. Newsome had a really good rookie season before a drop-off in year two under DC Joe Woods. Newsome was used mostly as a slot corner last year but is hoping for a more versatile role.
With the addition of Martin Emerson in the 2022 NFL draft and with Denzel Ward established as the team’s top corner, new DC Jim Schwartz should have the ability to match up with a variety of wide receiver groups.
