Cleveland Browns' Draft Struggles: Finding Late-Round Stars

About this episode

The Cleveland Browns have had limited success in discovering late-round NFL draft gems, with only three Pro Bowlers since 2010. While teams like the 49ers and Chiefs have built dynasties with overlooked talents, the Browns best late picks have mostly provided solid depth. Notable exceptions include Rashard Higgins, Jordan Cameron, and Joe Schobert, who contributed to the teams first playoff win in decades. Travis Benjamin and Buster Skrine also made an impact but didnt stick around long-term. Finding day-three difference-makers remains a challenge for the Browns, highlighting the importance of surprise hits for rebuilding teams.

It's March 24th. I'm Corey with The Story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and bill-for-football fans. The Cleveland Browns have struggled to uncover late-round stars in the NFL Draft. Since 2010, they've made 74 picks in the Final Four rounds, but landed just 3 pro-bolers. That's a slim haul, compared to gems like Titan George Kiddell or Wide Receiver Tyree Kill, that other teams grabbed on day 3. Games like the 49ers and Chiefs build dynasties with overlord talents such as quarterbacks, Dak Prescott, and Brock Purdy. For Cleveland, success stories are rare, with their best late picks mostly providing solid depth rather than game changers. Rashard Hagen stuck around Longas as a reliable Wide Receiver, helping spark the Browns first playoff win in decades during the 2020 season. Jordan Cameron broke out with the pro-bol year at tight end, while Joe Schobert led the league in tackles and earned his own nod as a linebacker. Travis Benjamin brought speed on offense and special teams, scoring on putt returns, and

buster screen locked down the slot as a cornerback before, starting elsewhere. These players deliver key moments but rarely stuck around long-term. Finding day 3 difference makers remains a weak spot for Cleveland, underscoring why rebuilding squads need those surprise hits to climb out of them.
