Browns select QB Cody Kessler at No. 93
April 29, 2016Browns take WR Ricardo Louis of Auburn with No. 114 pick
April 30, 2016The Browns began their busy Day 3 by selecting LB Joe Schobert with the first pick of the fourth round, No. 99. Schobert is a 6-foot-1, 244-pound senior linebacker who played his college football at Wisconsin. In 13 games, he notched 79 tackles, 19.5 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks, one interception, 14 quarterback hurries and five forced fumbles. Surprisingly, Schobert is the first Badger to be selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. He was named the 2015 Big Ten Linebacker of the Year. The Browns added yet another pass rusher who can help their terrible pass rush that struggled last season.
Mike Mayock of the NFL Network ranked the Wisconsin Badger as his 90th best player in the draft. Here is a breakdown of Schobert’s game by NFL.com:
STRENGTHS: Very productive over his two years as a starter forcing six fumbles, recovering three, defending 10 passes and adding an interception as well. Slippery in his movements using good hip and upper body turn. Can get skinny and slide through gaps and around corners. Excellent with his hands helping him compensate for lack of play strength. Discards tight ends fairly quickly. Sees through blockers and into backfield maintaining sight on the ball. Can trim edge as rusher with shoulder dip. Assignment-oriented in coverage making sure to redirect tight ends and receivers before dropping into space. Adequate man cover skills. Plays with plus balance and is rarely on the ground. Quality special teams cover man.
WEAKNESSES: Doesn’t possess the overall size or length NFL teams look for on the edge. Lacks quick twitch and bend to alter his path suddenly. Forced to make tackle attempts from tough angles due to average athleticism. Rarely bodies up and struggles to finish as a tackler with 18 missed tackles over last two seasons including 10 this year. Lacking strength to set a strong edge. Will get blown off of his spot by tackles. Not a menacing one-on-one pass rusher. Average burst upfield. Much of his production as pass rusher comes from twists and extended plays. Below average play speed.

The Browns held the 100th pick of the fourth round, but traded the pick to the Oakland Raiders. In return, Cleveland received No. 114 in the fourth round and No. 154 in the fifth round. Take a look at some of the highlights of the newest Cleveland Brown:

Other then Coleman probably their best selection in what otherwise is a mediocre draft thus far.
Looks like we might have gotten a bit of a steal here. It was nice to hear Kiper’s sidekick praise this pick after spending two minutes dropping a big Meh all over the Browns draft so far.
And as cheesy as today’s pick announcements are, they’re way better than listening to Goodell get booed every few minutes. Yeah, we get it, morons, you don’t like Goodell.
All about the QB, same people lauded the Manziel draft class. I’m satisfied thus far.
Browns are obviously trying to get a bunch of pass rushers and see what sticks. That’s ok.
Sold. I wonder if they move him inside.
I think they are drafting the correct positions. Although, when everywhere is a need, that’s not too hard.
