Browns should select this speedy WR in 2023 NFL Draft

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 2/1/23

The Browns aren't scheduled to make their first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft until day two. But they may just be able to get the game-changer they need at No. 43.

Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt continues to fly up draft boards and could be the perfect player to kickstart Cleveland's draft this year.

Jalin Hyatt is a projected 2nd round pick by most outlets. Elite speed & ability to create separation in stride

The 21-year-old had 67 catches for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2022. He won the Fred Biletnikoff Award for being the most outstanding receiver in college football and was named a unanimous All-American.

Hyatt is currently ranked as the No. 64 overall prospect on Pro Football Focus's big board. However, it would come as no surprise if he rises even more before the draft.

The Tennessee product has received comparisons to WR Tyreek Hill. And if Hyatt is anything close to Hill, he could be the steal of the second round.

Cleveland needs to add to its receiver room in order to help QB Deshaun Watson who struggled in his return from suspension. Hyatt could be the deep threat the Browns are missing.

Hyatt would create a dynamic trio with wide receivers Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones. And we already know he looks good in orange.
