3 Players the Browns Could Move Into Second Round for

There are plenty of potentially quality starters to have in the NFL Draft still. A select few remain that could force the Cleveland Browns to move into the second round if they wish to draft them.

Ahead of the second round beginning tonight, the Browns currently have no draft pick in it and do not pick until No. 74 in the third round.

I’m keeping an eye on three players if the Browns have any interest in moving up …

Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin

The top remaining defensive tackle on the board is going to be a good player wherever he goes. Benton is a quality player in both the run and pass and brings good size at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds.

Benton likely is the first defensive tackle off of the board today, so he may go in the 30s to 40s at the latest. Benton had 4.5 sacks as a senior to show scouts he is plenty capable as a pass rusher, it helped his stock tremendously.

BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU

Ojulari is an athletic pass rusher that has the updated to be a quality starter in the NFL. The LSU product has a terrific bend around the edge even as he works in a blur, showing off his balance. Ojulari’s athleticism allows him to work sideline to sideline and have great range to make a tackle.

Ojulari had 16.5 sacks over three seasons, this past year he had 5.5 of them in 11 games. His best season came as a sophomore with seven sacks and 12 tackles for a loss in 12 games. Brother of Azeez Ojulari of the New York Giants.

Adetomiwa Adebawore, DL, Northwestern

The most interesting defensive lineman left on the board is Adebawore. His 4.49 combine time in the 40-yard dash had him flying up big boards, rightfully so.

Adebawore tested well in the vertical and broad jump to show he has the explosiveness to go along with his speed. The bill rush best fits him for his makeup, he can bully guards off the line inside. Adebawore has played on both the edge and inside but inside allows him to have the best matchup.

On the edge, Adebawore doesn’t have the best of footwork to win. If the Browns moved up and grabbed him in the late second round, it would make a ton of sense for the continued evolution of the defensive line under Jim Schwartz.

The cost of moving up in the second round will be steep for a team that doesn’t even have a late pick in the round. Ideally, the Browns would give up a third and fifth perhaps to make such deal work.
