The Broncos have selected Penn State wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton with the 113th pick (fourth round) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Denver went with a wide receiver in the second round when they selected SMU’s Courtland Sutton, and they get another target for Case Keenum with the former Penn State star. Perhaps John Elway is getting his next Demaryius Thomas (Sutton) and Emmanuel Sanders (Hamilton) in this draft, and both guys have the ability to develop into that. There’s a chance Hamilton earns immediate snaps in the slot for the Broncos, but it’s unlikely to lead to much fantasy success in 2018.

The Browns have released wide receiver Kasen Williams.

Williams made some big-time plays for the Seahawks last preseason, but he was among Seattle’s final cuts and then landed in Cleveland for the regular season. The 25-year-old receiver should not have much trouble finding another team to give him a chance during the preseason.

The Bengals have selected Miami (FL) running back Mark Walton with the 112th pick (fourth round) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Walton is a quick change-of-pace back that could be Giovani Bernard’s long-term replacement behind Joe Mixon. A sub-par Combine hurt Walton’s stock for those who considered him as a solid Day 2 pick, but this is really good value for him, and Bill Lazor will know how to get him touches in his fast-paced offensive attack. An impact in 2018 is possible, but Walton probably won’t be worth selecting in redraft league this summer.

The Titans have released running back Khalfani Muhammad.

Muhammad was a seventh-round pick of the Titans last year and spent most of the season on the practice squad before appearing in the final game of the regular season but getting no touches. Muhammad has some dynamic ability out of the backfield and is likely to get another opportunity someplace else.

The Giants have selected Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta with the 108th pick (fourth round) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Many pegged the Senior Bowl MVP as a second-round pick, but GM Dave Gettleman continues to have a tremendous draft and gets him in the fourth round. Lauletta might have been a little overhyped throughout the process, but he has the ability to develop into a starter with the right coaching—which he will get in New York with Pat Shurmur. We wouldn’t call Lauletta the quarterback of the future just yet, but the Giants believe he at least has a chance to be Eli Manning’s successor. 2017 third-round pick Davis Webb also remains an option.

The Redskins are signing former Indiana wide receiver Simmie Cobbs as an undrafted free agent, according to Ian Rapoport.

Cobbs surprisingly went undrafted, and the Redskins apparently made him a priority as an undrafted free agent. The big receiver was productive at Indiana; and he really showed up in a big way against a talented Ohio State cornerback group this past season, catching 11 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown while making huge plays on the outside throughout the game, so it was a surprise no team ended up drafting him. Cobbs will now attempt to make Washington’s roster as a rookie, and he should have a good shot despite being undrafted.

The Jets have selected Miami (FL) tight end Chris Herndon with the 107th pick (fourth round) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

New York gets a solid, all-around tight end to grow with Sam Darnold. Herndon is very similar to Charles Clay as a unique target that plays a bit like a running back. He could have a path to immediate playing time on a largely unproven depth chart, but rookies are rarely big-time contributors at the position, so Herndon is probably just a dynasty option.
