The Cleveland Browns have gotten a bountiful amount of NFL starts from their 2020 NFL draft class. All of Jedrick Wills, Grant Delpit, Jacob Phillips, Jordan Elliott, Harrison Bryant, and Donovan Peoples-Jones have started plenty of games in Cleveland. However, while Wills has been a league-average starter for the Browns, would they have been better off taking Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb?
In a 2020 NFL draft redo done by Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy, this is exactly what the Browns do. Offensive tackles Andrew Thomas and Tristan Wirfs flew off the board in this activity as the Browns passed on Wills and landed Lamb. Wills fell out of the first round in Popejoy’s simulation.
While the Browns have had to scour the trade market to repair their wide receiver room by acquiring Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore in back-to-back seasons, Lamb is a slam-dunk move in hindsight. But again, hindsight is always 20/20.
