The Cleveland Browns had a huge offseason, but did they find any diamonds in the rough after the 2019 NFL Draft? We take a look at three possible gems.

The Cleveland Browns had the best offseason of any team in the NFL.

Their trade for Odell Beckham Jr. and Olivier Vernon with the New York Giants along with the free agent pickup of Sheldon Richardson were good enough to put them in the top five, but the signing of Kareem Hunt and drafting of Greedy Williams vaulted them to the top spot.

Of course, those moves are so likable because of the development of quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield looks like a star in the NFL already. He doesn’t seem like he’s going to have to take any significant lumps in terms of adjusting to the NFL game, which means the additions of guys like Beckham are actual enhancements for both players, not just throwing stuff at the wall to see what might stick.

We talked about the Browns’ stellar offseason on a recent episode of the NFL Mocks Podcast, which you can check out here:

As great as the Browns’ offseason was, it’s easy for the draft picks and rookies in general to go unnoticed. How about the undrafted crop for this team?

The Browns certainly have star power, but they are still just two seasons removed from losing all 16 games, and winning just one game in two full seasons.

This roster was depleted, and needed to be completely re-shaped and re-tooled.

Therefore, undrafted players shouldn’t be counted out, and I have selected three who could end up being really interesting.
