Njoku was the third tight end taken in the draft. OJ. Howard from Alabama went 19th to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Evan Engram from Mississippi went 23rd to the New York Giants.
The Browns moved up to 29th in a trade with Green Bay to take Njoku. They gave up the 33rd (Second round pick) and (fourth) 108th picks to move up. Njoku joins top overall draft pick Myles Garrett and Jabril Peppers as Browns first round draft picks this season.
He also becomes the fifth Miami tight end to be taken in the first round since 2000.
