2020 Browns

Do we still have DeValve?

KJ Hill and DPJ may still be there on a few picks for us in the 5th round.  

I assume we gotta draft someone if Higgins isn’t being brought back....

Center from Washington. Not hating the pick.

From twitter it looks like he’s best fit for a zone scheme like Stefanski will run. Played guard at some point too.

Kinda surprised they haven’t taken a wr. 

Our 6th rounder has to be a WR....we traded the 7th away so this will be our last one. 

Surprised to see KJ and DPJ both still available.

I think they go KJ Hill, if he’s there. Otherwise BPA in defense.

And the C pick is nice. Insurance at 2 positions, and apparently will push both C/RG for starting.

Ranked 80th best player by PFF. #1 in ZBS. Great developmental pick to eventually replace Tretter and maybe compete immediately at RG.

I agree with those on WR. I don't think it's a priority for the FO due to Stefanski mostly running 2 receiver sets but I'm not super confident Juice and OBJ will be 100% by the start of the season.

And there's the WR...DPJ

I have to say I'm pretty pleased with what I've seen from this front office in FA and in this draft. Still think they need a vet LB. Would like to see them kick the tires on Nigel Bradham.

Would have preferred KJ Hill, but DPJ is nice too. 
 

Im not being a homer on KJ Hill, I really think he’s going to be a late round steal.

Nah, you're not alone. Majority of OBR posters preferred Hill too. I don't think DPJ is going to make a big impact but I think he'll be a red zone option.

I liked Hill too, but didn’t expect either of them to be there so late. Happy to have DPJ.

Overall, I thought it was a solid draft for key positions and depth. The LB might have been a reach but we shall see.

I think they went with DPJ because Hill's skill set is similar to what they have. DPJ adds more of that fade/jump ball threat in the red zone.

They should just be throwing those to OBJ. DPJ is only 2” taller than Hill. He’s definitely a wideout, while Hill is slot though, I liked Hill because he has burners, but I suppose Browns did need a #2 wideout since Landry and Hunt are better off in the slot. 
 

Not much to complain about. Maybe reached for LB, but also I saw lots of projections that had him gone before their 4th rounder. Wouldn’t be worth passing on the guy you like hoping he falls. They addressed the positions of need and added depth. Now just need the players to pan out.

May only be two inches taller, but I saw he had the highest vertical jump of all prospects at the combine.

Seeing a lot of A or A- grades for the browns draft. I know it means pretty much nothing but it is kinda nice to not see D and F grades for once lol

Really?  Seems like the Browns are pretty consistently declared "winners of the draft".

I'd give them a B+ but these UDFA's they are signing might take it to an A-.

Cincinnati A+

Baltimore A

Pittsbugh C
