Ezra Cleveland an option for Browns

The Cleveland Browns reportedly have interest in trading back in the upcoming NFL Draft and selecting Boise State tackle Ezra Cleveland. This is something that has been floating around some time, but now has some widespread attention. The Cleveland Browns could potentially trade down in the draft and select tackle Ezra Cleveland. NFL.com's Ian Rapport reported this Thursday. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1250848417141538816?s=20 Dane Brugler provided some insight into this possibility. https://twitter.com/dpbrugler/status/1250851174024175617?s=20 Ezra Cleveland has gotten mixed reviews in regards to how he ranks among the other tackle prospects.

Chad Reuter has Browns trading down in mock

Chad Reuter of NFL.com released his latest mock draft and has the Cleveland Browns trading down from 10 in order to accumulate more draft picks. 16.

He has reasoning, but it doesn’t seem all that logical considering their current issues.  The Browns are fortunate to find a talent like Kinlaw here to help them mend their porous run defense. Yes the team needs to address their defensive front, but have they done anything to protect Baker Mayfield? Perhaps he believes Cleveland will go out and make a trade or sign a free agent lineman. Either way there seems to be more areas of need than defensive tackle in Round 1. 41. Brandon Aiyuk WR Arizona State&...
