FSU Football Defensive Tackle Projected to Cleveland Browns in PFF's Latest NFL Mock Draft

Another Seminole is projected to go early in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The 2024 NFL Draft is right around the corner. Soon, players around the country will be waiting to hear their names called, entering the next stage of their careers while NFL teams bolster their rosters with talented and up-and-coming prospects.

Florida State is projected to have multiple selections take their game to the next level in the 2024 NFL Draft. With players like Keon Coleman, Trey Benson, Jared Verse, and Jordan Travis projected to go early on, defensive tackle Braden Fiske is starting to show up on NFL mock drafts.

Five-Star Defensive End, FSU Football Target Decommits From Alabama Football

Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus has Fiske landing with the Cleveland Browns in the third round with the 86th pick overall in their latest projection.

"The Browns do have Dalvin Tomlinson in the middle, but he is almost 30 years old. Plus, Shelby Harris was on just a one-year deal. That lends itself to a potential interior defensive line pick on Day 2 for Cleveland.

Fiske is undersized for an interior defensive lineman at sub-300 pounds (295), but that lower weight yields an explosive first step as a one-gap penetrating pass rusher. In five of his last seven games, he recorded a pass-rush win rate above 10%. The Browns roster some solid rotational defensive linemen already, but they don’t have pure pass rushers like Fiske."

Fiske transferred into FSU as one of the top players in the country in 2022 from Western Michigan. During his lone season as a 'Nole, he totaled 43 tackles and six sacks and was a consistent leader inside the Florida State locker room. He dealt with injuries late in his Seminole tenure, which caused him to miss the Orange Bowl, but he came up big with three sacks in the ACC Championship win over Louisville. 

He played 45 games with 30 starts in five seasons at Western Michigan, recording 148 tackles, including 27.5 for loss with 13.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a blocked kick.
