The Cleveland Browns have had an eventful offseason so far, and there is still a long way to go. With the key movements in free agency over, teams are now primarily focused on the impending 2024 NFL Draft. This is also true with the Browns, who are apparently beginning to schedule trips.
Jordan Schultz reported earlier this week that Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachai Corley planned to visit Cleveland. He’s an intriguing possibility, but after signing Jerry Jeudy, it’s odd to see a top-tier player on their wish list.
Even more surprising is the latest addition to the team’s roster. ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid said Wednesday that Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton was scheduled to visit with the Browns next week.
During his pro day, Milton, who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 245 pounds, demonstrated his incredible arm strength. He then ran a scorching 4.55 seconds in the 40-yard sprint.
Despite his excellent abilities, Milton is still regarded as a raw talent. He is also older than most hopefuls, at 24 years old. He spent six seasons in the NCAA (three with Michigan and three with Tennessee), eventually becoming a starter in 2023.
The redshirt senior threw for 2,813 yards, 20 touchdowns, and five interceptions while also rushing for 299 yards and seven touchdowns for the Vols. He is hardly a threat to Deshaun Watson at this time, but players like Dorian Thompson-Robinson may be in jeopardy if he is taken this spring.
Cleveland Browns realize the value of a deep quarterback room.
Cleveland went through more quarterbacks than any other team in 2023. They managed to go 11-6 despite starting five different quarterbacks. One injury after another prompted them to return to the bench.
This season, they’ve added Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley to DTR and Watson. An already packed room could become even busier soon, which should worry the players at the bottom of the roster.
