The Cleveland Browns find themselves without a first-round pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, making their 54th overall selection a crucial one. With needs at offensive and defensive tackle, the Browns have several prospects on their radar, including Patrick Paul from Houston and T'Vondre Sweat from Texas.
ESPN Analytics has compiled a list of the 20 most likely draft picks for the Browns when they come on the clock with pick No. 54. Among the top contenders are offensive tackle Patrick Paul from Houston, who showcased his skills during a game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Another potential target is Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, who impressed scouts at the 2024 NFL Combine.
The Browns' team needs remain similar to those of the previous year, outside of their focus on an edge rusher. Addressing the wide receiver position, defensive tackle, and considering the future of their offensive tackle room are key priorities for the team.
While the Browns may consider moving up the draft board, they currently hold the 54th pick. This makes it crucial for them to identify talented prospects who can make an immediate impact on their roster midway through the second round.
Aside from Paul and Sweat, there are other promising options for the Browns. BYU offensive lineman Kingsley Suamataia, Michigan defensive lineman Kris Jenkins, and Washington offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten are all in contention for the 54th pick. Florida State defensive lineman Braden Fiske, Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr., Oregon wide receiver Troy Franklin, and Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman are also on the Browns' radar.
The list also includes Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley, Texas running back Jonathan Brooks, Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson, Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, West Virginia offensive lineman Zach Frazier, Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard, Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro, Texas tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, and Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan.
With their pick fast approaching, the Browns will need to carefully evaluate these potential prospects and prioritize their needs on draft day. The 54th overall selection holds tremendous value, and the Browns aim to add quality talent to their roster as they continue their quest for success in the NFL.
