After exiting the NFL playoffs early, the attention of Cleveland Browns fans has quickly turned to the 2024 NFL Draft.
Currently, Cleveland doesn’t pick until No. 58 in the second round, so how can we improve an already decent roster? Using the PFN Mock Draft Simulator here is who could become a Brown in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Cleveland Browns 2024 NFL Draft Picks
In addition to not having a first-round selection in April, the Browns are also without a pick in the fourth. However, they have two fifth and sixth-round options to bolster their roster or to play the boards when the time comes in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Cleveland Browns 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft
Round 2, Pick 58: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
One of the most dynamic receivers in the 2024 NFL Draft, Malachi Corley would be a great fit in Cleveland. He would add some much-needed electricity to the Browns’ wide receiver room that needs to add firepower outside of Amari Cooper.
Over four seasons in Western Kentucky, Corley has 3,035 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns, displaying his production and insane yards-after-catch ability. Don’t presume he is a slot just because he is 5’10” and 211 pounds. With speed, elusiveness, contact balance, and play strength, Corley has shown he can win on the outside.
Round 3, Pick 88: Chris Braswell, EDGE, Alabama
Chris Braswell’s draft stock is on the rise. He has gone under the radar playing opposite Dallas Turner, who is getting all the plaudits as one of the top edge prospects in this class. However, Braswell is a great draft prospect in his own right.
Next on the Browns’ sacks leaderboard, after Myles Garrett, is Za’Darius Smith with 5.5. There is a whole host of other names who have offered serviceable production in the Browns’ defense in 2023, but they have yet to find that guy to play opposite their star defender.

Could Braswell be the man they’ve been looking for?
Coming off the best year of his college tenure in 2023, Braswell has shown off his polished technique, intelligence, and speed-to-power aggressive pass rush on the way to a personal-best eight sacks. Braswell will be at the 2024 Senior Bowl with a chance to elevate his stock even higher than it is now.
Round 5, Pick 129: Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame
Notre Dame’s Cam Hart is another prospect heading to the Senior Bowl with a real opportunity to increase his stock.
It is easy to see why. Hart has fantastic size measurements at 6’2” and 207 pounds, while also being a nimble and smooth mover. His quick footwork allows him to stick with receivers while having the required strength and physical profile to be an effective tackler.
Hart could still work on his production as he has only had two interceptions in his career, and that was in 2021. However, his versatility and instincts can bolster Cleveland’s secondary unit.
Round 5, Pick 155: Sione Vaki, S, Utah
A two-way player with the Utes, Sione Vaki earned All-American Honors on offense and defense in 2023. However, his home will be at safety at the next level. With 51 tackles, including two sacks among his 8.5 tackles for loss, and an interception, Vaki displayed a natural feel for being around the ball.
He is the type of player fans will fall in love with. Passionate, strong, fierce, and skillful, Vaki has all the characteristics to become a Brown. He may be a punt, but on Day 3, he is worth a shot as a player you just want in your building.
Round 6, Pick 182: Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M
He is listed as a wide receiver, but Ainias Smith is much more than that. Smith is best labeled as an offensive weapon, having the skills to make things happen lined up anywhere.
Early in his career, Smith was used as both a receiver and a rusher. In 2020, he had over 550 receiving yards and over 290 rushing. However, Texas A&M never figured out how to best utilize this amazing offensive chess piece.
In 2023, Smith was used far more as a receiver, racking up 795 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns with the Aggies. If the Browns have the right vision for him, he could be a luxury weapon to play in the offensive-weapon rotation.
Round 6, Pick 192: Zion Tupuola-Fetui, EDGE, Washington
The Browns continue to add to their edge depth in the later rounds, drafting Zion Tupuola-Fetui, who won’t only produce on the field but also add to the culture. A strong leader at Washington, he had 3.5 sacks in the Huskies’ pass-rush rotation.

With 29 total tackles, including five for loss, Tupuola-Fetui has the ability and leadership qualities to impact this Browns roster.
Round 7, Pick 219: Isaiah Davis, RB, South Dakota State
Cleveland already has one of the top running backs in the NFL in Nick Chubb. However, his injury in 2023 has seen Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt have to step up. You can never go wrong adding depth in later rounds, and Isaiah Davis is a player who could, in truth, get drafted much higher than this.
With 1,578 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2023, Davis has been one of the best players at the FCS level and is primed to step up as a pro.
