The Browns 2020 draft class lost two more members on Wednesday, making it even smaller.
After settling on a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, Nick Harris was able to fulfil a dream of his own: playing centre for the team.
The player’s experience with Harris in Cleveland was quite unfortunate. When Harris joined Cleveland for his third season in 2022, he was a bright prospect. Harris tore his ACL on the opening play of the preseason in Jacksonville, therefore he was never given the opportunity to play the position. Ethan Pocic filled in for Harris, snatching the position and never looking back.
Then, in 2023, the Browns strengthened their offensive line by selecting Luke Wypler, a move that suggested 2023 would be Harris’s final season in Cleveland.
In order to join a Seahawks team that can be feisty in the NFC West, Harris is travelling to the higher northwest. They demonstrated their competitiveness in 2024 and will do so once more.
The Las Vegas Raiders and Harrison Bryant agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract.
Seeing Bryant develop throughout his four years in Cleveland was a remarkable sight. The finest tight end in the NFL, the Mackey Award winner from the 2020 NCAA season, was what drew him to Cleveland.
He was more of a receiving tight end at first, but as he matured, he became a complete tight end and ultimately needed a new beginning. Bryant would have played a smaller role in Cleveland’s impending offensive philosophy shift, so now was the right moment to relocate.
There are just two 2020 draft picks still in Cleveland’s roster as they enter the 2024 campaign.
Northeast Ohio native Anthony Moeglin is most known for leading John Carroll University to the NCAA DIII National Semifinals in 2016 after the team defeated the nation’s top team twice in a 4-week period. In addition to being the senior football analyst for BuckeyesNow on the FanNation network, he writes and produces podcasts and videos for Browns Digest.
