2022 NFL Draft: Day 2
-
Going with the initial asserted justification for Schwartz -- he does one thing better than everyone else -- that's simply not true comparing Wright to Leal. As with Clowney.. Leal is better setting the edge, better rushing the passer, more athletic -- in short, Leal is better at executing his position's role while playing the game of football.
I'm (not) looking forward to Berry's answer/excuse/avoidance of this terrible decision.

No comment until I've watched the film for myself. But I am leaning more towards the skeptical side at the moment.

These are 2-3 year project type picks.

Doesn't say much for the Baker Mayfield trade value for picks does it. Teams know that they don't have to give up much for him. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Told you, Nick Cross - 3rd round.

Cade York K.
easily be our best pick

Faalele or Winfrey or Shakir

Finally a decent pick. Bet we still get a C or C- grade for the day though.

Perhaps FactoryofSadness got one right -- Hill converts to safety rather than Emerson?
Or perhaps Emerson is a replacement for Hill when Hill hits free agency and they don't offer. Hill&Greedy contracts are up after 2022.

The Bell pick is a Jarvis replacement. His size and combine measurements were favorable to Landry's. I had to check out Jarvis 40 time and he was at 4.77, and he was a second rounder with obj on the same team. If you watched Bell play the last few years, you know the dude can ball out and is a perfect ready to go slot wr. We still need a burner, but this was a great value pick.

Bell > Higgins

That's not saying much.

Sporting News' assessment of Browns pick plus Leal in comparison. Pretty much follows what I thought with exception of a higher grade on Emerson that I thought he should get drafted where they got him.
68. Cleveland Browns (from Texans): Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State
- Grade: B
The Browns needed a big, strong corner option to complement their other cover men given the size and strength challenges related to the AFC North wide receiver competition.
78. Cleveland Browns: Alex Wright, EDGE, UAB
- Grade: C
The Browns got enamored with Wright’s immense raw explosive skills as a pass rusher, but he’s limited to a situational player until he can round out his game. His value was that of a mid Day 3 pick.
99. Cleveland Browns: David Bell, WR, Purdue
- Grade: A
The Browns were smart to jump on wide receiver value to further boost Deshaun Watson’s targets away from Ameri Cooper. Bell has intriguing physicality, speed and quickness, making him an appealing after-the-catch and field-stretching burst option.
84. Pittsburgh Steelers: DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M
- Grade: A
The Steeelers also catch a falling star who has some good inside pass-rushing pop to complement the rest of their strong options in their front seven, first as a situational rookie.
My comment on the Leal vs Wright picks: Pitt was smart enough to understand that Leal's falloff in production this year was the fact the several inside DLs were suspended by A&M and he had to play inside his normal 5-tech position most of the games. That made him the guy who forced a lot of teams to double team him which allowed the others to put most of the pressure on QBs. Browns scouting should have picked this up. Fire whoever was responsible for that oversight.
