Last draft, the Cleveland Browns were able to find two high quality starters in the second round in both linebacker Carson Schwesinger and running back Quinshon Judkins.<\/p>\n
Schwesinger developed into the team\u2019s play caller and Defensive Rookie of the Year, while Judkins was one of the league\u2019s most electric rookie backs who flashed plenty of potential despite a season-ending injury late in the year.<\/p>\n
Now Cleveland will try to have that same level of success in the second round. Here are three projected second rounders who could be day one starters in Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Emmanuel Pregnon, G<\/p>\n
With Joel Bitonio still mulling his retirement<\/a> and Wyatt Teller likely departing in free agency, Cleveland needs to bring in some guards. The only one actively on the roster for next season is Zak Zinter, who has been a consistent healthy scratch in his career so far.<\/p>\n Pregnon is a brute and extremely ready interior lineman from Oregon. He\u2019ll be an older rookie, but is expected to be a day one starter for any team in the league.<\/p>\n He\u2019s big, strong, has great hand placement and can pancake anyone. He showed a tendency to be lazy at times in college, giving up on his assignment after a whiff and often overcompensates in the run game to try and gain an advantage.<\/p>\n These are cleanable things with the right coaching. He\u2019s an incredible pass blocker who typically can dominate anyone in the run game. He\u2019d not only be a day one starter in Cleveland, but he\u2019d likely become a leader among the offensive lineman right away.<\/p>\n Peter Woods, DT<\/p>\n
