Cleveland Browns 2020 NFL Draft: Day 2 and 3 NFL mock draft
The Cleveland Browns do not currently possess a fifth-round pick, so the move up for McKinney that cost them a fourth-rounder leaves them without a pick until the sixth round on day three of the 2020 NFL Draft.
While not optimal, McKinney is the type of player who is worth the sacrifice, and the Cleveland Browns can still find some talented players in the late rounds of the draft. Starting here with my guy, Antonio Gandy-Golden.
Gandy-Golden is a beast, at 6-foot-4 and 223 lbs. Displaying good releases off the line of scrimmage, he can create enough space to use that frame to shield defenders and make a catch at any level of the field.
Where Gandy-Golden really excels is down the field and in the red zone, where he can really use his height and hands to go up and make a play on the ball. A true jump-ball rebounder, AGG comes down with more than his fair share of 50/50 balls and is very tough to bring to the ground once he comes down with it.
Adding a big receiver like Gandy-Golden would give the Browns another red-zone target, and could allow Jarvis Landry to operate almost exclusively out of the slot in three-receiver sets.
Unfortunately, the Cleveland Browns likely will not be able to retain both Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. for years and years down the road, so the team takes advantage of a deep 2020 NFL Draft wide receiver class and gets a great developmental option for the future.
Despite playing right tackle at Clemson, Tremayne Anchrum has everything that it would take to bounce inside and compete for the starting right guard spot for the Cleveland Browns, even as a seventh-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Anchrum doesn’t have the desired height and length to play tackle in the NFL, making a move inside to guard pretty much inevitable. Anchrum, however, was a very effective pass protector as a tackle and those skills will benefit him greatly at guard.
With a powerful anchor and strong hands, Anchrum can hold his ground in pass protection and drive defenders back in the run game. He has sound footwork and mechanics as a pass blocker and delivers a powerful pop when moving downhill as a run blocker.
With a background as a tackle for one of the best teams in the nation, Anchrum has the experience, size, strength and athleticism to thrive as a guard in the Cleveland Browns offense. He is mobile enough to fulfill the moving duties he’d be asked to do in head coach Kevin Stefanski’s offense and would be a solid right guard with starting potential, even as a rookie.
