CLEVELAND, Ohio — On the eve of Browns rookie minicamp, the Browns have signed three of their seven draft picks: fourth-rounder Sheldrick Redwine, sixth-rounder Drew Forbes and seventh-rounder Donnie Lee Lewis.

Redwine (6-0, 196), the safety, will contribute immediately on special teams and try to challenge for time at safety. He played free safety at Miami, but can also play strong and nickelback.

Browns scout Matt Donahue cited Redwine’s blazing 4.4 speed in the 40 as a standout strait.

“The cool thing with him is he was a former corner so he has coverage ability,’’ Donahoe said on draft day. “Anytime you get a safety that has ability to play in coverage, whether it is man, zone or wherever you put him, I think that’s a good thing. I think he’s going to be a very good special teams player, as well, with that speed. He has upside because he’s only just getting comfortable playing safety.

"There’s a lot of upside with that. He had another safety there that he played high school with (Bills S) Jaquan Johnson. They went to the same high school and played there. Jaquan was very good and they worked very well together. I think they learned a lot from each other so that’s why especially for Sheldrick I think he has a lot of upside.”

Browns scout Colton Chapple, who discovered Forbes, believes he can play multiple positions on the offensive line, but the Browns think he has potential down the road at left tackle, where he started three seasons in college.

“Drew is a three-year starter down there at Southeast Missouri State,'' Chapple said on draft day. "He’s originally from Southeast Missouri, as well, so he is a local kid. He went under-recruited throughout the high school process. He kind of stepped in, learned a little bit and played a little bit as a freshman, but over his career, he has had over 34 starts. He has played in 44 games. This is a very experienced offensive tackle. He played exclusively on the left side while he was playing for Southeast Missouri State.”

Forbes, who dominated his level of competition, was a mauler in college.

“I think that is one of the things that attracted us is the fact that he is athletic enough to play left (tackle), but he also has the versatility to kick inside if we see fit,'' said Chapple. "That’s really a better question for (offensive line coach James) Campen just to see how to get the best five out there, to build depth or wherever he kind of fits in. That is one of the positives from us getting a guy like Drew is he does have that athleticism and he does have that intelligence where he can play multiple positions.”

The Browns selected Lewis at 221st overall despite the fact he suffered a broken bone in his foot in January. He’ll sit out the rookie camp, but could be ready for training camp.

Lewis had a career-high 56 tackles and 18 passes broken up in 2018, along with his three interceptions.
