3 veterans the Browns should replace in the NFL Draft
1. Odell Beckham
The Browns offense flourished with Beckham on the sidelines in 2020. He still has the talent to help them from an on-field perspective, but his off-the-field antics are no longer worth the aggravation for Kevin Stefanski and his coaching staff.
This offseason represents the perfect time for Cleveland to trade Beckham. Fans won’t revolt after the team ended their lengthy playoff drought. This offseason also likely represents the Browns’ last chance to deal Beckham for anything of real value.
If he is offloaded to a team willing to take on his baggage, Cleveland will need to add another young receiver through the draft. Jarvis Landy shouldn’t be counted on as the team’s No. 1 option on a weekly basis.
Rondale Moore falling to the team at No. 26 would be a terrific stroke of luck. If he’s gone, someone like Elijah Moore could make sense at that spot. This year’s class is really strong in terms of depth.
The Browns aren’t going to secure a brand as big as OBJ in this year’s draft, but they can acquire a superior player with much less baggage. Now’s the time for Cleveland to get rid of its biggest distraction.
