The Cleveland Browns might not have a realistic chance at a playoff run this season, but that doesn't mean they don't have some high-quality individuals littered throughout the roster.
One of the more notable players still on the roster following the stunning Myles Garrett trade is cornerback Denzel Ward. He's still a Brown, at least for now, but as a 29-year-old veteran who's not played a full season, his trade value might not be high.
That is, if it weren't for the strong praise he received from around the NFL. Ward placed inside the top-10 of Jeremy Fowler of ESPN's cornerback rankings based on a poll of executives, scouts, and coaches around the NFL.
"7. Denzel Ward, Cleveland Browns. Highest ranking: 2. | Lowest ranking: Unranked," Fowler writes. "Ward falls to No. 7 but easily could have been No. 4."
