NFL draft Day 2: Best available for the Browns starting in Round 2, all 3 picks

CB Jermod McCoy (6’-1”, 188 pounds) – Tennessee

Draft ranking: #23

McCoy is coming off a very bad knee injury that made him miss all of 2025. Teams have been scared off by this issue lingering. The Browns do need a #3 cornerback, and the value is there if they have done their due diligence about McCoy’s health. He runs a 4.4 in the 40.

WR Denzel Boston (6’-4”, 212 pounds) – Washington

Draft ranking: #25

The Browns will need to take another receiver in this draft, and if Boston is sitting there at #39, Berry needs to run to the podium with this selection. Cleveland can’t pass over Boston’s talent, size, and 4.6 speed. Long arms and good YAC numbers because of his length. Hands are legit. Adjusts very well to back shoulder throws and is a good ball tracker.

S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (6’-4”, 201 pounds) – Toledo

Draft ranking: #29

Cleveland has a need for a good tackling safety, and that is McNeil-Warren. Came from a lesser conference, but is an exceptional tackler and has great length at 6’-4”, 201 pounds. 88% in pass coverage and great in run defense.

OG Emmanuel Pregnon (6’-4”, 314 pounds) – Oregon

Draft ranking: #34

By taking Pregnon, the Browns could get an offensive tackle plus an offensive guard all in one swoop. He has incredible lower-body power and did not allow a single sack in 2024. Technical consistency in pass protection and good hand placement. 90% in pass blocking and 89% with his run blocking, so you know he will work out as a viable starter sooner than later, and the O-Line now has a young core for years to come.

CB Avieon Terrell (5’-11”, 186 pounds) – Clemson

Draft ranking: #38

Elite speed at 4.39 right off. The Browns need a third corner who can cover man, and that fits Terrell to a tee. Exceptional zone eyes. Eight forced fumbles is his superpower. His ball tracking is receiver-quality. Nasty competitor and has good versatility in press, off, zone match, or pattern match. Good run defender as well.

LB Jacob Rodriguez (6’-2”, 231 pounds) – Texas Tech

Draft ranking: #41

Which player in the 2025 NFL draft was Berry’s best? The Round 2 pick of UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger. Rodriguez is an exceptional tackler and would provide havoc if he were taken to pair with Schwesinger. Finishes through contact with active technical hands. His superpower is also the forced fumble. Had three in three practices at the Senior Bowl alone. Line him up opposite Schwesinger and watch fireworks every game.

Round 3: Pick #70

OG Jennings Dunker (6’-5”, 319 pounds) – Iowa

Draft ranking: #66

Offensive guard is a critical position. The franchise needs some young blood at the guard position who can start if needed this upcoming season. Guard Gennings Dunker of Iowa is a very large man who dominates inside. He looks like a lumberjack with sawed-off legs, long flowing red hair, and a beard. Great guy and well-spoken, but on the field, this is one nasty dude.

WR Malachi Fields (6’-4”, 218 pounds) – Notre Dame

Draft ranking: #72

Fields is the best option for a team that’s lacking size and ball skills at the “X” receiver position. Long reach with good length, caught everything at this year’s Senior Bowl. Lives on contested targets. Not a speed demon, but has good quickness and runs great routes. Reliable hands and attacks the football at its peak.

Round 3: Pick #74

TE Max Klare (6’-5”, 246 pounds) – Ohio State

Draft ranking: #71

Has good speed for such a big man (4.7). Long arms and reach, who has a full route tree. Very good YAC numbers and an excellent intermediate target. Is a genuine vertical threat. Versatility in that he can line up in the slot, in-line, and wide. Good blocker and reads zone coverage.

WR Ted Hurst (6’-4”, 206 pounds) – Georgia State

Draft ranking: #77

RELATED: TED HURST INTERVIEW

Hurst of Georgia State was one of the best receivers from the Senior Bowl practice week. Hurst has good height and runs a 4.42 in the 40, and consistently works on his route running. Large frame with long arms, and is a viable deep threat. Good Red Zone target with lower-body explosiveness.
