Then, adding Denzel Boston and a manual McNeil Warren in Round 2, they built serious talent early with those smart picks. But things hit a snag when the New Orleans Saints snag Georgia tight end Oscar Dope right before the Browns spot at pick number 74. Instead of forcing in, General Manager Andrew Berry traded that pick to the New York Giants for selections number 105, number 105, and a 2027 fourth-rounder. Fans were buzzing about Delph's fit, since Browns coach Todd Munkin helped recruit him back at Georgia, and he knew the offense cold. Cleveland already has tight ends like Harold Fanon Jr., Jack Stoll, and Blake Whiteheart, but Delph brought that passing game spark they craved. With top tight ends gone, the Browns flipped part of that hall to jump up to pick number 86
