The second day of the 2016 NFL draft is underway, and in a bit of a surprise, the Cleveland Browns actually made a pick, rather than making a trade.
The Browns took Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah with the 32nd overall pick, a selection that they think will provide them with a powerful pass rusher for years to come.
Cleveland’s primary priority in this year’s draft has been to stockpile more picks, and they’ve already acquired an extra 2017 first-round pick, 2017 second-round pick and 2018 second-round pick. But while there was talk that the Browns had offers for the 32nd pick, they liked Ogbah enough that they decided to stay put and take him.
A native of Nigeria, Ogbah as the Big 12 defensive player of the year in 2015, and he’s a big part of a rebuilding effort in Cleveland.
