The Browns certainly came out of this draft pretty happy taking 16 players overall. 11 players had great training camps while 5 came in and underwhelmed but with a draft class that overall went +8, there' not much to complain about. Hopefully this draft class can help turn this organization around sooner rather than later.
CB Lawrence Wing - 1.9, The prize of the draft boomed for us and will slide in immediately as the #1 starting cover corner for this team.
CB Vince Kelly - 1.27, Wing's partner in crime, Kelly also had a nice turnout at training camp and should play right away as a starter opposite Wing.
WR Richard Grimm - 2.3, Needing some speed in our WR we decided on Grimm who had a not too shabby training camp coming in at a +3 to his potential and is the #1 WR we were looking for when we grabbed him.
CB Chad Irwin - 2.10, Irwin had an awful training camp in which he went from hopeful starter to a depth piece, possibly a cap casualty later on down the road.
CB Ricky Williams - 2.20, Williams did really well for himself going +6 potential wise and is a lock for the slot position this coming year.
MLB Robert Kirsch - 2.24, A wasted pick in which the queue wasn't set, cut as soon as picked. For those who are curious, he busted.
LG Robert Vinson - 3.13, A hopefully starter, Vinson couldn't handle the pressure as he busted and now just looks like a solid backup.
RG Jerome Seidman - 3.26, A complete bust, Seidman might as well have not shown up. He'll be cut following this Midweek sim.
RDE Richard Wilkes - 4.27, Wilkes did very well for himself, going +5 and looks to be the successor at the RDE position in the near future.
DT Leon Lott - 4.28, Simply drafted to be a depth piece, he proved to be just that after a middling training camp in which he busted.
LT Jeffrey Tomberlin - 5.2, A late round surprise, Tomberlin has solidified him as a potential star in the league after a +10 potential boost after training camp. Definitely needs time to develop though.
LDE Nathan Neel - 5.15, Another player drafted to be depth, Neel came in and had a good camp going +2 and looks to be a solid back up when called upon.
MLB Lee Merriman - 5.25, Merriman had a phenomenal training camp which almost assures that he slides into the starting MLB position for this Browns squad.
CB Richard Colosimo - 5.27, Another stab in the dark, Colosimo did enough for himself in camp to solidify himself a spot on this squad.
RT Alan Lopes - 6.3, Possibly the steal of the draft, Lopes only went +2 but that was enough to give him the talent to become a cornerstone at the RT position for years to come.
LG Morris Robbins - 6.14, Robbins himself had a decent time at training camp looking like a potential starter and above average back up.
SS Antonio Mendez - 7.28, Mendez was a flier to come in and be a back up at the SS position. Even though he busted, he did enough to keep his roster spot as a below average, albeit serviceable back up.
