The Cleveland Browns have been investing a lot in their secondary in recent years, both through the draft and through free agency. Even after dealing away their first-round pick to acquire quarterback Deshaun Watson this year, they still used their top pick, 68th overall, on cornerback Martin Emerson.
But he won’t have an easy time cracking the starting lineup. With Denzel Ward locked up long-term and Greedy Williams appears to be back the full health as well. That leaves last year’s first-round draft pick, Greg Newsome II, with the opportunity to work in the slot, which he is fully embracing.
