The Cleveland Browns sent their first-round pick to the Houston Texans as a part of the massive deal to acquire QB Deshaun Watson. Before that trade, much of the focus was on which wide receiver the team would select with the 13th overall pick. In a draft with a group of high-quality receivers, the arguments were over which one was the best with that pick.
Outside of receiver, defensive end was the other position that got a lot of attention when the Browns had their first-round pick. David Ojabo and George Karlaftis were two of the big names connected to Cleveland.
Now that the Browns top pick is in Houston, dreams of those top guys seem to have faded… until Monday before the draft. Based on a few pieces of information, it seems Karlaftis could be having a similar fall as Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah did last year.
