The Cleveland Browns drafted Cedric Tillman for a specific purpose, to enhance an offense initially centered around Deshaun Watson. With Watson's future now uncertain, Tillman's role is set to evolve, positioning him as a crucial piece for the team's future regardless of who takes the snaps.

Last season, Tillman demonstrated flashes of brilliance, especially after Amari Cooper's trade to the Buffalo Bills. His performance peaked when he stepped into a starting role, where he caught 21 of 32 targets in the initial games without Cooper, showcasing his potential as a key contributor in the passing game.
