Browns sign 3 new playmakers after NFL Draft — update highlights

The Cleveland Browns are doubling down on bolstering their offense through undrafted free agents (UDFAs) after focusing on the offensive line and wide receiver depth in the draft. The team added three wide receivers as UDFAs—Aaron Anderson (LSU), Ja’Naylon Dupree (Jackson State), and Kole Wilson (Baylor)—with Anderson considered the best bet to earn a roster spot due to his productive sophomore year (61 receptions, 884 yards) and improved athleticism, despite past injuries and some concerns about size and hands. The other two WR hopefuls bring intriguing traits that could earn them spots on the roster or practice squad, given the current depth concerns at the position.

Beyond wide receivers, the Browns supplemented the roster with additional UDFAs at running back (TJ Harden, Davon Booth) and offensive tackle (Izavion Miller from Auburn). On the defensive side, they added eight UDFAs, including three defensive ends (Logan Fano, Tyreak Sapp, Khordae Sydnor), one tackle (Bernard Gooden from LSU), three cornerbacks (Nate Evans, DeCarlos Nicholson, Michael Coats Jr.), and safety Zion Washington. The team will begin rookie minicamp with these players, alongside the 10 drafted selections, from May 8–10.

Key takeaways:
– Browns prioritize depth at wide receiver through UDFA acquisitions and evaluate several athletes who could contribute on special teams or in reserve roles.
– Aaron Anderson stands out as the strongest WR UDFA candidate to make the roster, contingent on health and continued development.
– The UDFA class also strengthens the Browns’ overall depth at running back, offensive line, and defense, signaling a broad effort to compete for roster spots and practice squad positions during rookie minicamp.
