The Cleveland Browns continue to make moves as they traded down from pick #118 to add a pick in the fifth round and another in next year’s draft. Then, with their next pick, the Browns selected kicker Cade York out of LSU with pick #124.
Cleveland’s kicking game has been a significant problem since Phil Dawson left. While some kickers have had a good season, none have been consistent. This is the third kicker the Browns have drafted since then with Zane Gonzalez and Austin Seibert failing to take Dawson’s throne.
In York, Cleveland is getting the best kicker in this year’s draft. While the fourth round may be higher than some expected, the extra selections the team has on day three made being aggressive here easier.
