“The pick by Cleveland, in this location, doesn’t surprise me, because he’s a really good edge rusher with an upside”. We have a long way to go.

“I’ve never talked to him, but obviously, growing up in Wisconsin, I was a big fan”, he said.
“There was every bit as much activity at No. 32 as there was at No. 8”, the Cleveland Browns head of operations said.
They shored up their secondary with two picks – TCU safety Derrick Kindred played last season with a broken collarbone – and by acquiring cornerback Jamar Taylor in a deal with Miami.
Ogbah, who was timed in 4.56 seconds in the 40 at the combine, had 13 sacks last season and 28 in three years with the Cowboys.
The Browns’ Harvard-educated brass even swallowed hard to take a tight end from rival Princeton.
What are the Browns getting in Shon Coleman?
“I like the pressure”, Kessler said. “If that is reality or not, that is the mindset you have to have to prepare as a starter”.
“I’m a relentless player and I love to get to the quarterback”, Ogbah said. “When you got guys like that, it makes you want to bring your game to a whole other level”.
Round 5, Pick No. 173: Stephen Weatherly, LB, Vanderbilt: Cleveland is going to draft two to three linebackers in this draft, and Vandy’s Stephen Weatherly is a nice value pick here. “We say we want to be suffocating and we understand that we have to affect the quarterback in our division and throughout pro football and this guy has that element”. As we mentioned in Aaron Burbridge’s profile, the wide receivers weren’t the best at gaining separation, causing the MSU signal-caller to throw “50-50 balls”. Of course, there is still lurking the Josh Gordon factor, who must wait to see if he will be reinstated.
The rest of the draft is critical in shaping how the pick of Ogbah and Coleman look because they don’t fill the most critical needs and may not be fulltime contributors early on because they are so raw.
While Jackson refuses to acknowledge construction to contention will be slow, the Browns are confident their plan will work.
If the Browns don’t move down, there will be plenty of players on the board to pick. They really don’t know?
Browns Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Sashi Brown said that Coleman will come in and compete for playing time on the right side of the offensive line right away.
At six-foot-seven and close to 280 pounds, Nassib already possesses good size to be a successful defensive end in the NFL.
Coleman got the call at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, where he was treated for leukemia for more than two years.

“It has definitely been a journey”, Coleman said.
