NFL Draft season is fully upon us. After months of speculation, workouts, mock drafts, and more, we have reached the home stretch in April.

The first round of the NFL Draft is scheduled for April 27 in Kansas City, Missouri. One prospect who will likely hear their name early is Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt. Hyatt has done nothing but boost his draft stock in the past eight months or so. The 2022 Biletnikoff Winner enjoyed a 2022 campaign that featured over 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns. 

Most mocks have him within the first 32 picks, with teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens projected to take Hyatt in the early part of the upcoming draft. `A high-flying passing offense with a strong downfield quarterback would be a natural scheme fit for Hyatt.

One other team with a later pick has entered their name into the hat for the services of Hyatt. The South Carolina native has a visit scheduled for Tuesday with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns receiving room features Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper, as well as fourth-year veteran Donovan Peoples-Jones and newly-acquired Elijah Moore.

The Browns may be looking to add Hyatt into the mix with those guys as they bring him in for a pre-draft interview. The Browns also had Tank Dell in for a visit, the speedy Houston wideout. At the very least, the Browns are doing their homework on blazing-fast wide receivers.

Cleveland does not hold a pick in either of the first two rounds after the Elijah Moore trade this past week, coupled with trading for quarterback Deshaun Watson last offseason. Their first selection comes at No. 73 in round three, and it is unlikely that Hyatt will stick around that long. For the Browns to have a shot at Hyatt, they will likely need to move up to select him. Owner Jimmy Haslam is a booster for Tennessee, so it is not out of the question.
