Expert Commentary
This is a great spot to take a 300-pounder that runs a 4.7 40-yard dash. He didn’t have a ton of production in college, but he’s got the tools to be an impact defensive tackle in the NFL. This could be a major boom pick for the Browns.

The Browns just picked an offensive lineman who has starter potential in the third round. Good move for Cleveland and another member off the All-Juice team is gone.
