With decades of shame hopefully behind them, the Cleveland Browns now enter the 2019 NFL Draft with few holes to fill. Here is a Browns mock draft to address those holes.

How will the Cleveland Browns — one of a few teams without a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft — look to attack this year’s class with a quarterback and so much star power in place on their roster?

Round 2, Pick #49: Darnell Savage, S, Maryland

Hey, Browns fans. If you haven’t already, please begin the construction of the John Dorsey statue outside the stadium. The trade for OBJ only costing you this year’s first and Jabrill Peppers is enough for Dorsey to never have to buy a beer in Cleveland ever again.

But if he can get Darnell Savage here at pick #49, I reasonably think he’s upgraded at the safety position, and here’s why. Damarious Randall, the lone returning starting safety on the roster, is an ideal deep safety and one that Dorsey loves.

Savage, on the other hand, is a bullet with malice intentions in the run game. The only difference between him and Peppers? Savage at least has some ball skills. Oh, and he ran a 4.36.
