I also like the idea of them exploring all options to trade down, especially if they don&#8217;t take a quarterback here (I would not). But with this being our first mock with the solidified non-playoff draft order, I didn&#8217;t want to do any trade-downs. Instead, I stay true to the big board and give the Browns the best playmaker in the draft in Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zone-el-101\" class=\"zone zone-el\" data-distributed=\"true\" data-type=\"ad\"><\/div>\n<p>Hunter was the third-highest-graded cornerback (90.6) and the sixth-highest-graded receiver (89.0) in the FBS. He could legitimately play on both sides of the ball in Cleveland. I would slot him in full time at cornerback with about 10-15 plays at receiver each week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Browns struggled on both sides of the ball this year, with the lowest-scoring offense and fifth worst defense in the NFL. Hunter could be a contributor on both sides for the Browns. He could complement Jerry Jeudy nicely in select packages, and would certainly bolster a Browns secondary that only had three takeaways this season.<\/p>\n<p>But he wouldn&#8217;t be a quarterback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Cleveland Browns&#8217; 3-14 season, they find themselves with the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft.
