Move up to rescue a falling Jeff Okudah
The Ohio State cornerback is almost universally recognized as the top player at his position in this class, and generally regarded as a better prospect than his Buckeyes predecessor and Browns Pro Bowler, Denzel Ward.
Okudah is the most popular projection — by far — to the Detroit Lions at No. 3 overall. But if the Lions go in a different direction or trade back themselves, Okudah could fall.
In that hypothetical situation, the Browns could pounce. Berry’s aggressive pursuit of acquiring talent could land the team Okudah and create arguably the best young CB tandem in the NFL with Ward. It would cost the team the No. 10 pick and likely the higher third-round pick to move up to the No. 5-No. 7 overall range to snag Okudah.
