Picks 49-52

49. Cleveland Browns: CB Julian Love, Notre Dame

The Browns have a talented No. 1 corner in last year’s first-round pick Denzel Ward and a couple of other nice players in Terrance Mitchell and T.J. Carrie. However, E.J. Gaines is a free agent, so the team could use some more depth and a potential No. 2 corner. Love was great for Notre Dame this past season and has very good coverage skills. If he was taller, he could work his way into the first round discussion.

50. Minnesota Vikings: WR Andy Isabella, UMass

The Vikings continue to upgrade their supporting cast around Kirk Cousins in the second round. Laquon Treadwell has been a bust as a first-round selection and the team could use a third receiver to pair with the excellent combination of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Isabella is a smaller receiver, but he has over 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in the each of the past two seasons. The UMass product has terrific speed and should be a deep threat in the NFL. He also has the quickness in his route running needed to be a good slot option.

51. Tennessee Titans: DL Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame

The Titans could stand to add some defensive line help to go with Jurrell Casey. Tillery has first-round upside, but character concerns could cause him to fall. Still, Tillery has a massive 6-foot-7 frame and had seven sacks in his final season at Notre Dame. Pairing him and Casey would potentially give the Titans one of the best interior pass rushes in the NFL.

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: LB Vosean Joseph, Florida

The Steelers need to add a linebacker to help properly replace Ryan Shazier. Joseph is coming off a season that saw him post 93 tackles and four sacks at Florida. He has a solid frame and should work well as an inside linebacker in 3-4 or outside backer in 4-3. The Steelers will be happy to land Joseph to continue to upgrade their defense.
