The 5'11 Harden was one of the stronger cornerbacks at the combine and is reported to be best suited for a zone defense with his strength allowing him to play well against the run.
Harden has been mentioned as someone who could be a nice fit as a nickel corner or moved to safety with his strong hitting ability.
Harden doesn't have top speed and might be vulnerable to the deep throw along with only finishing with one interception last season.
The best part of the drafting under Andrew Berry has been drafting corners having chosen Greg Newsome, Martin Emerson, and maybe another good one in the 2023 draft with Cameron Mitchell.
It's going to be tough for Harden to make the team but not impossible and he'll have to beat Khalef Haillassie, who the Browns claimed from Kansas City last season to make the squad but Harden has the big corner style and aggressive players sometimes find a spot on teams.
A very interesting selection from a team that loves their cornerbacks.
