Chicago Bears<\/a> the only team he ranked higher.<\/p>\n“I\u2019d like to shower praise on Cleveland\u2019s first four picks. Stat-stuffing LB Carson Schwesinger ran away with the\u00a0Defensive Rookie of the Year\u00a0award, leverage-monster DT Mason Graham earned a spot on the\u00a0Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team\u00a0and playmaking TE Harold Fannin turned 72 catches\u00a0into\u00a0a\u00a0highlight reel\u00a0of\u00a0beastly feats. Provided Judkins makes a healthy return, this class has supplied the Browns with a pair of building blocks on each side of the ball.”<\/p>\n
If Andrew Berry can have another strong draft class this year, the Browns could find themselves in playoff contention after a couple of awful seasons.<\/p>\n
