Cleveland Browns: Patriots’ OL Yodny Cajuste

When the Patriots selected Yodny Cajuste in the third round of the 2019 draft, they were hoping to get a steal after a projected high-end prospect fell due to injury.

However, injury has since plagued him in his time in the NFL. He’s missed the first two years of his pro career due to injury and has never gotten a chance to play meaningful snaps for New England. However, he’s healthy and dying to finally play professional football.

The Cleveland Browns are in need of offensive line reinforcements after suffering some injury in that unit. Trading for the unproven, yet high-upside player in Cajuste would give them depth along the line, as well as the ability to shape a former high-round draft prospect into a potential starter in a year or two.

With the Browns’ roster seemingly stacked at every position, depth is what they need the most right now to make a deep run. Cajuste is a good guy to take a flier on, assuming he can stay healthy himself.
