2. RB Demetric Felton (UCLA)

The Browns added a running back in the sixth round and while that may be prove to be a questionable pick by some, the team could benefit from a player that impressed as a runner, receiver and on kickoff returns.

Yes, Kevin Stefanski’s club is loaded in the backfield with the combination of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. In 2020, the former ran for 1,067 yards and a dozen touchdowns on only 190 carries – a brisk 5.6 yards per attempt. Hunt rushed for 841 yards and six scores, plus add five TDs on 38 receptions.

Cleveland rocked for 148.4 yards per game on the ground, topped only by the division-rival Ravens and also the Tennessee Titans. But this former Bruin could add a different dimension on both offense and special teams. Felton appeared in six of the team’s seven games in 2020 and he still managed to amass 827 total yards from scrimmage and eight scores.

In his final two seasons with the Bruins, the versatile performer appeared in 18 contests and not only amassed 2,258 total combined yards but reached the end zone 14 times. Stefanski’s club could use a boost when it comes to the return game as the Browns produced very few big plays on kick and punt returns.
