The Browns used the 25th pick on MI safety Jabrill Peppers, an incredibly versatile athlete who has been called a man without a true position.

The Browns registered just 26 sacks last season and were also next-to-last in total defense.
This comes as a surprise, as most of the people are expecting the Browns to pick a new quarterback.
“He’s my first target”, Garrett said.
“Any small school player we watch, we really want to see him dominate the level of competition and this guy definitely did that”, Pace said.
The Jaguars addressed most of their defensive needs in free agency, leaving them to go heavy on the offense in the draft. There are still some incredible players left available, and the Packers will have the first pick in round two, after trading their first round pick to the Browns last night.
“We won’t rest until we solidify the position”, he said. The rookie general manager in San Francisco pulled off a veteran move with not only this, but later moving back up into the first round to select Reuben Foster with the 31st pick.
The Texans traded away the 25th overall pick in this year’s draft as well as their first-round selection next season to nab Watson. “We are very confident in the information that we gathered”. “We’re going to do what we have to do to help this team win games and that’s what we’re going to do”.
Their first-round strategy in 2017 will invite questions regarding even more quarterbacks, depending on how numerous quarterbacks on whom the Browns passed thrive in the coming season. “And it’s who I do it for, it’s who I do it for”. “I can actually know where I am going, know who I am going up against and know the schedule”. I’ve put good film out there for that moment. Johnny Manziel, the Browns’ first selection in the 2014 draft, was supposed make the ceremonial toss against the Red Sox but the game was rained out.
Peppers recorded 72 tackles on the season, with four sacks and 16 tackles for loss, along with an interception at Ohio State.

As ESPN began showing footage of former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Robert Mathis, Gruden ripped Garrett’s effort, saying he should study the intensity with which Mathis played. He’s one of the nation’s best return specialists and Jackson is excited about getting the ball in his hands. However, he tested positive for a diluted sample at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he was kicked out for fighting with a hospital worker. “I don’t have any reason to think that he would do me wrong”.
