No surprise here, but Alabama standout Minkah Fitzpatrick is going pro. Fitzpatrick announced on Thursday that he will forgo his final season in order to enter the 2018 draft. 
Between winning the Bednarik Award and a National Championship, Fitzpatrick couldn’t have had a better platform season. He’s lauded for his football IQ and instincts just as much as his athleticism and he also offers the versatility to play anywhere in the secondary. Many project that he will be a free safety at the next level, but he could also see time at cornerback or strong safety depending on the team’s needs.
It is expected that Fitzpatrick will be a top 10, if not top 5, selection. The Browns could target Fitzpatrick at No. 4, giving GM John Dorsey an elite safety like he had in Kansas City with Eric Berry.
In his final season on campus, Fitzpatrick recorded 60 tackles, 1.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, and one interception. He had two pick sixes in both the 2014 and 2015 season, giving him the all-time school record.
“The Browns could target Fitzpatrick at No. 4”… not a bad idea.
that would be smart.
I see the Browns going Qb and Barkley RB if he is there.
Browns could be exciting for a change.
Barkley will be gone
So, they go Barkley and then QB.
Fitzpatrick is my favorite player in the draft. Go get him, Dorsey.
I think the Browns get a QB and Barkley with their 1 and 4 pick and if Barkley isn’t available at 4 if they do take QB at 1 then they go after this guy with the 4th pick. Either way the Browns should be better next year with a good GM, all that money for FA and the 1st and 4th picks not to mention the other picks they have in the draft. I think Browns fans might actually see this thing turn around in a couple years if they make smart decisions and I think they will.
