46. Denzel Ward

A consensus All-American at Ohio State, Denzel Ward was the first Defensive Back taken in the 2018 Draft, going fourth overall to Cleveland, the team that he has played his entire career for as of this writing.

Ward has been a consistent and potent presence on the Browns' secondary, using his aggressiveness and guile, and at present is a four-time Pro Bowl selection.  While the overall performance of the Cleveland defence has been spotty over his career, his defensive impact over his tenure is bested only by Myles Garrett. 

The Browns are rebuilding again in 2025, but at Left Cornerback, they have nothing to worry about.
