The Cleveland Browns were likely thinking the other first-round pick would be higher up the board. When they got it from the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Travis Hunter trade, it seemed like it had the potential to be a top-10 choice. Then, the Jags had a hugely successful season.
That means that now, in addition to their own No. 6 pick, the Browns' have the Jags' pick at No. 24.
That still can be plenty useful, though. In a new mock draft by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. unveiled on Tuesday, he lays out how the Browns can use their two choices.
