In a new 2024 NFL draft mock done by our friends at Draft Wire, the Cleveland Browns reeled in Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy and Utah safety Sione Vaki with their second and third rounders.
While the Browns do not have any first round picks, they have done an excellent job of landing mid-round talents that have become immediate contributors. Cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., defensive end Alex Wright, offensive tackle Dawand Jones, and cornerback Cameron Mitchell all fit the bill here.
In their last year without a first rounder, general manager Andrew Berry and his team will look to do more of the same this year.
Worthy is a pretty frequent target for the Browns to land in these mock draft exercises as they will look to upgrade their pedestrian wide receiver room this offseason. The explosive Longhorn wideout accumulated over 1,000 yards and five touchdowns this season.
Vaki is an intriguing prospect because not only does he play safety and nickel, but he also took running back snaps with the Utes in 2023. This past season, Vaki racked up 51 tackles, 8.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, two sacks, two passes defended, and one interception while lining up on the defensive side of the ball. He added another 520 yards and five touchdowns lining up in the backfield on the offensive side of the ball as well.
