We are over a week removed from the 2019 NFL Draft, where the Cleveland Browns walked away with 7 new players (not including undrafted free agents). Here is a recap, along with my opinions, on how things went down this year:
1. The Browns’ 2019 NFL Draft Class: Prior to this year, in the Browns’ previous seven draft classes (from 2012-2018), they had made 13 first-round selections, which was anywhere between one and three picks per year. In 2019, the Browns didn’t have a first-round pick. I’ll touch more on that in a bit, but here is how this year’s draft class panned out:
- 2nd Round (#46): CB Greedy Williams
- 3rd Round (#80): LB Sione Takitaki
- 4th Round (#119): S Sheldrick Redwine
- 5th Round (#155): LB Mack Wilson
- 5th Round (#170): K Austin Seibert
- 6th Round (#189): OT Drew Forbes
- 7th Round (#221): CB Donnie Lewis Jr.
