2019 NFL Mock Draft: Raiders rule post-Trade Deadline, Browns land playmaker
By Randy Gurzi
6. Cleveland Browns: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
When looking at the Bills a couple selections ago, we mentioned a couple of wide receivers. D.K. Metcalf and N’Keal Harry were the two players were mentioned coming in behind A.J. Brown, who went No. 5 overall to the Arizona Cardinals in this 2019 NFL Mock Draft. As such, it’s Harry that comes off the board and goes to work with Baker Mayfield.
It may be a bit of a stretch for Harry to go this early, but the need for a wideout is too great in Cleveland to pass up. Currently, they’re paying Jarvis Landry $16 million per year, but he’s more of a slot receiver and can use help on the outside to open things up for him. The Browns could also use another target for Baker Mayfield, who looks to be their franchise guy after years of searching.
Harry offers that big body teams covet on the outside. He’s listed at 6-4 and 213 pounds, but that doesn’t mean he’s not quick or athletic. Harry can make things happen in space and is hard for members of the secondary to bring down.
The Browns aren’t winning enough games right now, but anyone who has watched them can see they’re getting better. This move solidified their ability to put points on the board on offense.
