Browns focus on defense from the SEC in latest 2027 NFL Mock Draft

Browns land some more help on what is an already talented defense.

The 2027 NFL Draft is set to occur next year in Washington, D.C. Currently, the Cleveland Browns possess their first-round picks. However, numerous changes could occur in the following 7 months as speculation and anticipation build around the team and potential draft choices, especially considering the class is deemed one of generational talent. According to a recent release by Pro Football Network, the Browns are anticipated to select a cornerback and edge rusher from the SEC.

The first pick in the draft is speculated to be Georgia cornerback Ellis Robinson IV. The article highlights Robinson's progression as a redshirt sophomore, noting he has amassed five pass breakups and an interception, while earning an 86.7 PFN CB Impact Score. His strengths lie in reading routes and jumping throws in zone coverage, making him a natural choice for the Browns.

Although Robinson stands at 6 feet and 180 pounds, his aggressiveness, recovery speed, and capacity to slide inside to fill a nickel position make him a versatile defensive back who could develop into a top cover man for the team.

The second selection is expected to be South Carolina's Dylan Stewart. This pick is intended to bolster the Browns' pass rush. This strategic move aims to sustain the team's aggressive defensive approach throughout the 2027 season and beyond.
