STM Take
2019 LSU CFP National Championship plus 2019 Jim Thorpe Award plus 2022 tier 1 (#2) STTM peak as a 44th overall 2nd-round pick puts Delpit in the elite S career résumé class. The Cleveland chapter career arc volatility confirms the structural ceiling is highly team-fit and scheme dependent. The 2026 question is whether Delpit returns to tier 3 territory or whether the structural mid-career instability returns.
Delpit came out of LSU as the Cleveland Browns' 2nd-round pick (44th overall) in 2020 after winning the 2019 CFP National Championship plus the 2019 Jim Thorpe Award. He delivered a tier 1 (#2) STTM peak in 2022. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#62) rookie, tier 1 (#2) peak in 2022, tier 5 (#33) in 2023, tier 8 (#58) in 2024, and tier 5 (#35) in 2025.
Strengths
- 2019 LSU CFP National Championship plus 2019 Jim Thorpe Award plus 2022 tier 1 (#2) STTM peak establishes elite S career résumé.
- LSU 44th overall draft pedigree plus six years of NFL development gives him the rare championship-pedigree elite career foundation.
Concerns
- Career STTM volatility (tier 1 in 2022, tier 5 in 2023, tier 8 in 2024, tier 5 in 2025) confirms the ceiling is highly team-fit and scheme dependent.
- Cleveland's broader defensive identity around Myles Garrett's primary pass-rush priority puts continued Delpit production partly dependent on team-fit.
What to watch: Whether Delpit returns to tier 3 (top 25) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the 2022 ceiling can be recaptured.
