Analysis of every pick | Updated depth chart
Round 3, No. 74 overall: Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
My take: The Browns continued to load up at receiver as they remake the offense around quarterback Deshaun Watson. Already this offseason, Cleveland traded for Elijah Moore and signed Marquise Goodwin to slot in alongside Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and pass-catching tight end David Njoku. Now, Cleveland adds Tillman, who will have a chance to factor into the rotation at outside receiver.
Key stat: The past two years, Tillman had 22 end-zone targets, the 15th most in the FBS despite playing only six games last year due to a high-ankle injury, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The Browns ranked just 19th (53.6%) in red-zone efficiency last season. The Browns are banking that Tillman will give Watson another option in the end zone.
Round 3, No. 98: Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor
My take: The Browns had one of the worst run defenses in recent NFL history last year, so beefing up the defensive line was paramount this offseason. Cleveland signed 300-pound defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency. In drafting Ika, the Browns have now added another 300-pounder to play behind him.
Key stat: Ika generated 30 quarterback pressures over the past two seasons. That was second-most in the FBS by a defensive tackle, according to ESPN Stats & Info. As a result, Ika was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 selection.
What’s next: The Browns have plenty of ammo to add to their team on Day 3. They have two picks in the fourth round (111, 126) and another two in the fifth round (140, 142). Look for Cleveland to continue to address its defensive front seven while supplying Watson with even more pieces offensively.
Round 4, No. 111, Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State
My take: The Browns needed to add a developmental tackle, behind starters Jed Wills Jr. and Jack Conklin, who have both battled various injuries in recent seasons. Enter Jones, who at 6-foot-8 has intriguing size to emerge into a pass-protecting option for quarterback Deshaun Watson down the line.
Round 4, No. 126: Isaiah McGuire, DE, Missouri
My take: Defensive end opposite Myles Garrett was probably the team's biggest question coming into the draft. The Browns did sign Ogbonnia Okoronkwo in free agency. But after him, Cleveland's pass-rushing rotation basically comprises of players who were rookies last season. McGuire will have an opportunity to play early.
Round 5, No. 140: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, QB, UCLA
My take: The Browns have Watson at quarterback and re-signed Joshua Dobbs to back him up. Cleveland also has a developmental QB in Kellen Mond, whom the Browns picked up off waivers last year. Mond, who spent last year on the practice squad, will now have competition from Thompson-Robinson for Cleveland's No. 3 QB job.
Round 5, No. 142: Cameron Mitchell, CB, Northwestern
My take: Two years after drafting a Northwestern corner (Greg Newsome II), the Browns have added another in Mitchell. Cleveland lost Greedy Williams to the Philadelphia Eagles, so replenishing cornerback depth was always going to be a Day 3 draft priority.
Round 6, No. 190: Luke Wypler, C, Ohio State
My take: The Browns already have two starting-caliber centers on the roster in Nick Harris and Ethan Pocic. Harris was the projected starting center going into last year before a season-ending injury in the preseason. Pocic, however, stepped in and had a terrific season before re-signing with the Browns this offseason. Even with such center depth, Cleveland couldn't resist adding Wypler, who did not allow a sack in his Ohio State career.
Round 7, No. 229
