Undrafted free agents are Cleveland Browns key to 2021 NFL draft

ARLINGTON, TX - APRIL 26: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announces a pick by the Cleveland Browns during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft at AT

Unprecedented talent will slide out of the draft this off-season, which could help the Cleveland Browns

So how will the Cleveland Browns afford all of these great free agents and major contracts? One way is that they have to make a killing on the minimum NFL wage rookie talent pool, particularly in 2021 in order to clear mid-level veteran salaries.

The 2021 pool of Undrafted Free Agents (UDFAs) will be the strongest in NFL history because it was not possible to properly scout the 2020 NCAA season, which was severely impacted by Covid-19.
