Browns 2024 draft picks - profiles by Dane Brugler

WR rank #44 

AHMAREAN BROWN | South Carolina 5080 | 170 lbs. | 5SR Tampa, Fla. (Jefferson) 12/19/2000 (age 23.35)

SUMMARY: Ahmarean Brown is one of six children. He has an older brother (Michael Tiller) who ran track at Bethune-Cookman and another (Bobby Brown III) who played defensive back at Eastern Michigan. Brown was a standout receiver and track athlete (10.40-second 100 meters) at Jefferson High. A three-star recruit, he committed to Georgia Tech (over Alabama and Michigan) and led the team in receiving as a true freshman. After the 2020 season, he transferred to South Carolina. Brown has the outstanding initial burst and acceleration needed to be a vertical threat on double moves and go patterns. He plays with athletic urgency but tends to rush as a route runner, which leads to rounded angles and limited separation. Despite a smaller catch radius, he can snare th rows to be a catch-and-run weapon (bubbles, screens, etc.). Overall, Brown is undersized and doesn’t have draftable tape, but his speed traits could shine once he gets into an NFL camp.

GRADE: Priority Free Agent

Centre rank #16

JALEN SUNDELL | North Dakota State 6050 | 301 lbs. | 6SR Maryville, Mo. (Maryville) 10/18/1999 (age 24.52)

SUMMARY: Jalen Sundell was born and raised in Maryville in an athletic family — his parents (Bob and Korena) both played college basketball, and his younger sister (Serena) is a record-breaking player at Kansas State. As a senior right tackle, Sundell led Maryville High to the 2017 state championship (also played basketball and founded his school’s bass fishing team). Sundell signed with North Dakota State (over Central Michigan) and moved to center, battling injuries in 2021 and 2022. He replaced Cody Mauch at left tackle in 2023 and had his best season. With his quickness, Sundell is an outstanding puller and takes proper angles on the move to be a “search and destroy” blocker. His eyes and hands stay on the same page, but his punches aren’t heavy, and he will struggle to grip and finish NFL drive/down blocks. Overall, Sundell has impressive agility and athletic tools for his size, but his ability to quickly set his anchor and hold up vs. NFL power are the lingering questions.

OT rank #32

LORENZO THOMPSON | Rhode Island 6060 | 305 lbs. | 6SR Syracuse, N.Y. (Cicero) 6/21/2000 (age 23.84)

SUMMARY: Lorenzo Thompson grew up in upstate New York and was a two-sport standout (basketball and football) at Cicero-North Syracuse High. He played both ways as a defensive end and left tackle and earned All-State honors as a junior and senior. He committed to FCS Rhode Island (over Maine, Albany and Stony Brook) and earned the left tackle job as an underclassman. He finished his college career with 37 straight starts, including an All-America year as a senior captain. Thompson sports a lean, athletic frame with shorter-than-ideal arms, but he has outstanding foot quickness to mirror rushers on an island. Though he hits his landmarks, his anchor will be tested early and often by NFL bull rushers. Although not a true people-mover in the run game, he will try to blow up defenders on the move. Overall, Thompson needs refinement with his footwork and timing to compensate for his shortcomings, but he is a nasty blocker with athletic tools that can be molded.
