Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Zion Young, Chris Bell
With the 58th pick in the draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Toledo safety McNeil-Warren. He was their fourth pick, and first on defense, after taking an offensive tackle and two wide receivers. He has unlimited potential and a number of high-quality traits that are impossible to ignore. If all goes well, this will be a banger pick for Cleveland. He has length and athleticism, but needs to work on his coverage skills.
Baltimore Ravens second-round pick Zion Young will impact their defense immediately. Chosen at number 45, this is a good value and safe pick for Baltimore. His play against the run highlights his game, and his physicality and frame are his strong suits.
Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell went in the late third round (90th overall) to the Miami Dolphins. After losing Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, currently in free agency, they are in desperate need of offensive weapons. An ACL injury late last season played a role in the later draft selection. He will outplay his third-round selection and be a factor for Miami’s offense. He’s a bigger receiver with yards-after-catch ability.
