Browns' Tight End Need: Day 3 Draft Picks

0:00On April 6th last year, the Cleveland Browns grabbed tight-end Harold Fanon Jr. in the third round of the NFL draft, and man did he deliver. The rookie ball got out with 72 catches for 731 yards and 6 touchdowns on 107 targets. He's locked in as their top option at the position now. That success meant Tuptons for David and Joku, the former pro-bola they led walk in free agency. He's still unsigned, leaving a big gap behind Fanon. With the draft coming up later this month, folks are talking about Cleveland adding another tight-end for depth. Bleacher reports Alex Valentine called it a surprising need for the Browns. Their new offensive coordinator, Todd Monkin, just came from a spot with two strong tight-ends, like Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely. He knows how to use that duo, no matter who's throwing the ball next season. The depth chart doesn't inspire much right now. They signed Jack Stoll, who's got just 28 catches over five years, plus Blake Whiteheart and Brendan Bates.

1:01None scream starter material, so a late-round pick makes sense with their nine selections. Experts like Balancine pointed day three guys, such as Ohio State's Max Claire, Stanford's Sam Roush, or Georgia's Oscar Delp. Grabbing someone like Claire, who lit it up at Purdue before transferring, could round out the group smartly and keep the offense rolling strong.
