With the NFL Draft approaching, discussions focus on Adam Peters' strategy to improve the roster with limited picks. In a simulated draft, he trades back with Cleveland for additional picks. Morrison, a talented cornerback from Notre Dame, is chosen early in the second round despite injury concerns. Following this, Washington secures Higgins, a big receiver from Iowa State, and Oladejo, an EDGE prospect from UCLA, highlighting a focus on strengthening the defense and providing offensive support with size and speed.
In this mock draft, I traded back with Cleveland, who moved to 29 to select Emeka Egbuka. I received picks 33 (second round) and 67 (third round) for allowing the Browns to select their star receiver and get that fifth year of team control at the end of round one.
Injury concerns drop Morrison out of round one, and Adam Peters pounces. At a tad over 6' and a sturdy 195 pounds, Morrison can be brought along slowly until he's ready to take the field.
At 6'4" 214 pounds with 4.4 speed and a 39" vertical, [Higgins] is a downfield threat who can win contested catches. He also has the ability to line up in the slot and win verses smaller corners.
Femi Oladejo is a work in progress at EDGE, however his upside is very intriguing. He may end up being a situational pass rusher as a rookie while he continues his development.
