April 30, 2016Browns add an offensive lineman in Spencer Drango with pick No. 168
April 30, 2016With their first pick of the fifth round, No. 154, the Browns selected WR Jordan Payton. Payton is a 6-foot-1, 207-pound junior receiver from UCLA. In 13 games last season, he posted 78 receptions for 1,105 yards and five touchdowns. The receiver is the all-time receptions leader at UCLA, catching 201 passes in his career. He is the first Bruin to reach 200 receptions in his career. According to Pro Football Focus, Payton had the third best receiving grade against Power-5 opponents in the entire draft class.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper is pretty high on the UCLA Bruin, ranking Payton as the 17th best receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft. Here is a look at what NFL.com has to say about the newest Browns receiver:
STRENGTHS: Thickly built for a wideout with broad shoulders. Productive target over last two seasons with 145 catches. Works back to the throw. Bodies up smaller corners and keeps them away from the throw. Has strength in his hands to brush away press coverage or latch onto cornerbacks and sustain blocks as a run blocker. Finished 2015 with 14 catches of 25-plus yards.
WEAKNESSES: Painfully slow in his release and attempt to maneuver around press coverage. Struggles to avoid redirect blows inside of his routes and takes time to gear back up. Needs a long runway to buildup his vertical speed. Doesn’t have getaway speed to maintain any separation he creates. Will have to live with contested catch opportunities.
Here are some highlights of the newest Browns receiver during his UCLA career:
