Day 3 is where front offices can make or break the depth of their team, find steals that define a draft class, and create a quality group of special teams players.

Day 2 was a great one for the Cleveland Browns . Top grades, “biggest winners,” and making a bit of history , the Browns have added quality starters for the present and the future so far, and now have five more picks on Day 3 to add to the haul . Taking a look at the Best Available for Day 3 list from SB Nation , the Browns would love to see a few of these guys available when they are on the clock again: CB Jermod McCoy CB Keionte Scott OL Connor Lew CB Keith Abney II DE Dani Dennis-Sutton LB Kyle Louis RB Mike Washington Jr.

QB Garrett Nussmeier S Genesis Smith CB Jalon Kilgore An injury update on McCoy’s draft day slide was highly concerning. According to Charles Robinson , teams are concerned that the bone plug issue reported previously could end his career if the next procedure doesn’t go perfectly. That procedure may not be required “immediately, but at some point.

” Even teams with a ton of extra draft capital, as Cleveland has, are wary of using a pick on a player whose career could predictably be derailed within a year or two. At some point, it seems likely that someone will pull the trigger on a player who was ranked among the top 10 to 20 players, based on talent alone, before the process started. After making quality picks on the first two days of the draft, perhaps that team is the Browns on Saturday.
