With the 2018 NFL Draft behind us, it’s fourth dimension to laid out the review procedure on how each squad stacks upwards amongst the selections they’ve made. The Browns had quite a haul amongst nine picks inwards this year’s draft including get-go overall, let’s review…
Cleveland Browns 2018 Draft Class Review:
Round 1 – Pick 1 (1)
Baker Mayfield (QB)
While ADF isn’t the biggest Baker Mayfield supporter too the pick came every bit quite a stupor to us believing Cleveland would’ve drafted Sam Darnold amongst the get-go pick, this is an intriguing selection to state the least. In reviewing Baker’s college record it was clear the organization inwards Oklahoma was geared toward finding avenues to exploit Mayfield’s talent rather than pigeon-holding him into a plan that could arrive at failed results. ADF does believe inwards Baker’s mightiness to throw precise balls amongst pin-point accuracy too perfect touching allowing his receivers to brand plays subsequently the catch, which happened a lot inwards Oklahoma. While Backer did essay he was able to remain inwards the pocket, he tends to favor rolling out to his correct when problem comes his way. Throwing off his dorsum human foot far also oftentimes amongst average arm strength could acquire him into problem inwards the NFL. Mayfield also tends to stare downwards receivers too could last inwards for a rude awakening inwards the NFL every bit complex defensive systems volition punish him if he can’t aspect off defenders.
Overall taking Baker get-go overall inwards the 2018 NFL Draft is an intriguing pick for the Browns who haven’t been able to figure out the quarterback lay for quite simply about time. He should exercise goodness from playing behind Tyrod Taylor inwards his get-go twelvemonth learning how to last a leader too a professional.
ADF Prediction: Potential high celling, extremely depression floor.
Round 1 – Pick 4 (4)
Denzel Ward (DB)
The Browns stunned virtually if non all draft boards selecting the best defensive dorsum inwards the draft amongst the 4th overall selection. Denzel Ward is an ADF favorite amongst the potential inwards beingness an NFL encompass isle amongst his fantastic ability. Though Ward is slightly undersized compared to how the NFL appears to last selecting its cornerbacks these days, he makes upwards for that amongst his supreme athletic ability. Ward is a amend tackler too hence virtually scouts give him credit for, too should last a feasible choice inwards defending the run game. As Ward volition ultimately essay that his shadow encompass mightiness volition perish a nightmare for quarterbacks inwards the coming years, the potential could last for teams to non target his side altogether providing keen assistance for the Browns defence forcefulness to last multifaceted inwards their schemes. While Bradley Chubb would’ve been a keen counterpart for Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward is a truthful divergence maker on the backend.
ADF Prediction: Future All-Star.
Round 2 – Pick 1 (33)
Austin Corbett (T/G)
Knowing the Browns had to address their offensive problem issues amongst the retirement of long fourth dimension tackle Joe Thomas, Cleveland chose to choose Austin Corbett at the top of the minute round. While Corbett was primarily a tackle inwards Nevada he to a greater extent than than probable won’t create got on that purpose amongst the Browns. Most scouts create got Austin pegged every bit a amend jibe at Guard or Center helping to constitute a audio presence inwards the middle. If Austin tin sack improve his overall abilities he could perish a total fourth dimension starter for many years inwards the NFL.
ADF Prediction: Potential enterprise career.
Round 2 – Pick iii (35)
Nick Chubb (RB)
The bulldozer from Georgia has found a abode amongst the Browns amongst their minute of 2 picks inwards the minute round. While simply about are higher on Chubb, ADF isn’t overly impressed amongst the 230 pound runner every bit a total fourth dimension response at the position. His appeal definitely gives the Browns simply about other choice every bit a modify of measuring runner amongst to a greater extent than mightiness to punish defenders. Chubb volition create got a lot of upside inwards destination problem move this flavor provided he tin sack job his mightiness to plough frontwards engaging defenders. Chubb appears to last a 1 cutting downhill runner without possessing keen breakaway speed. ADF volition last rattling interested inwards if Chubb tin sack arrive at inwards the passing game every bit his hands are a large query grade to this point. Still a enterprise pick for the Browns, his expectations should last tempered.
ADF Prediction: Above average player.
Round iii – Pick iii (67)
Chad Thomas (DE)
On newspaper the Browns look to last a unit of measurement on the ascension every bit ADF was a large supporter of this defence forcefulness from concluding season. Needing a rushing mate on the other side of the defensive problem to back upwards Miles Garrett, Cleveland chose the tall athletic talent of Republic of Chad Thomas. Thomas stands a fantastic 6’5” tall too topped a forty fourth dimension of 4.92, rather impressive. At this betoken Thomas likely won’t last the best inwards assisting inwards stopping the run, but should render plenty for offensive lines to create got notice amongst his rushing ability. Still viewing every bit a niggling raw, traits volition create got to last developed to perish a truthful impactful player.
ADF Prediction: Moderate potential, skillful upside.
Round 4 – Pick v (105)
Antonio Callaway (WR)
ADF is a large fan of the on-field mightiness of the old Florida Gators production Antonio Callaway! Standing at 5’11” amongst a beefy frame of 200 pounds spell running an oculus opening 4.41 forty time, leaves us drooling at the potential of star ability. His road running is inwards a higher house average every bit his speed purely allows him to dictate defensive backs on a regular. The largest red-flag comes amongst all his off-field issues marker him every bit a headache too a potential lose cannon amongst NFL coin inwards his pocket. His athleticism is off the charts amongst maturity concerns providing the biggest query marks. If off-filed wasn’t a concern, Callaway could’ve garnered a potential get-go circular grade.
ADF Prediction: High celling, off-field cherry-red flags.
Round v – Pick xiii (150)
Genard Avery (LB)
Teams ever postulate a truthful problem backer to human being the middle of the field. Avery volition render Cleveland amongst adequate depth at the lay potentially plumbing equipment inwards nicely inwards the Browns 4-3 defensive system. Avery should last able to carve out a exceptional team’s purpose from 24-hour interval 1 amongst skillful upside amongst rotating inwards amongst specific packages.
Round half dozen – Pick 1 (175)
Damlon Ratley (WR)
Cleveland is banking on direct physical traits from this selection hoping they tin sack prepare his all-around game inwards the process. Standing a whopping 6’3” tall could render value every bit a pure cherry-red zone target out jumping the competition.
Round half dozen – Pick xiv (188)
Simeon Thomas (DB)
With the concluding pick inwards the draft class, the Browns selected old Louisiana-Lafayette product, defensive dorsum Simeon Thomas. His meridian screams “wow” off the board standing 6’4” tall providing the run a hazard to present what he tin sack do. H5N1 potential longshot to brand the roster but if Thomas shows out - he could honour himself on exceptional teams every bit a gunner.
