Mock draft watch: Draft Wire digs defense for the Browns in 2-rounder

The latest two-round update from Draft Wire and editor Luke Easterling sticks close to the script for the Cleveland Browns in the 2021 NFL draft.

That increased bulk might make Collins even more appealing to the Browns.

In the second round, the projection sticks to defense. Iowa defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon, a potential starter as an attack-style tackle but one with some risk, is an intriguing projection. He’s often slotted a round or two later.
