Recipe for mediocrity

He's not the fastest corner out there, so could they consider moving him to safety? Perhaps.

Unsympathetic

Mitchell's NFL attribute, however, is short-area quickness which to this poster suggests slot corner.. "speed" isn't really what you want other than for go routes -- if raw speed was pertinent, Jacob Phillips would be good at pass defense..

i would consider it

I would try him out at the position he played in college first, then go from there.

And tia fav Andre Carter II - Edge - Army was signed as UDFA by the Vikings.

And the Bama CB Eli Ricks that Flugs and I thought might be worth a look late was sign UDFA by the Eagles.

Doesn't it though? All of their 1st 4 picks landed right on their door step. Dropped right to them.

According to the 'pundits' Dawland Jones is great value and Isaiah McGuire a bit of a reach. What do we say about that?

Are you sure it wasn't the other way around KD? I like the Dawand Jones pick but nothing about him except the wing span says immediate impact. That said, he's a RT. McGuire looks like a better choice where we got him than how far we reached for Alex Wright last year. McGuire looks like he can help us this year.

I can't remember when Browns UDFA list was this targeted, but glad to see they're doing bottom-roster churn. This is the totality of the list so far

RB Hassan Hall, Georgia Tech - $125,000 guaranteed

EDGE Lonnie Phelps, Kansas State
EDGE Mohamoud Diabate, Utah - $250,000 guaranteed
EDGE Jeremiah Martin, Washington
S Ronnie Hickman, Ohio State
S Charlie Thomas, Georgia Tech
CB Tanner McAllister, Ohio State
CB Amos Cormier, Georgia State
CB Caleb Biggers, Boise State

I agree. I think some think switching positions is as simple as telling a guy to "go play over there".

Quite sure. Example below from Walter football, but I have seen similar assessments.

Jones' freakish size is considered sufficient to make an immediate impact, and with coaching could develop into a Pro Bowl caliber starter.

McGuire is poopoo'd because of a limited pass rush arsenal. Is considered a run stopping, sub-package rotation guy.

Cleveland Browns: Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State - A+ Grade
The Colts brought in plenty of offensive linemen for top-30 visits, as they wanted depth and a successor for Jack Conklin. Dawand Jones is a massive offensive lineman who will blast open huge running lanes for Nick Chubb. He could have gone in the second round, so I love this value.

Cleveland Browns: Isaiah McGuire, DE, Missouri - C+ Grade
The Browns needed to continue to bolster their defensive line, which was very weak last year outside of Myles Garrett. Isaiah McGuire is a powerful defensive lineman who could do well in Cleveland's rotation. I had him going later though.

I'm still shaking my head about that reach. What did they see? Who saw it? And are they still scouting for the Browns?

And this year we give up #7 so the Ravens can take a 1st team AA OL whose MD says will make a full recovery from an ACL tear at the Combine. If the Ravens get into the playoffs or better, their #6 next year will not be all that far from our #7 this year. Who cares if the guy they got won't play too much this year. Long term he's a great pick in the 7th round. Just another Browns head shaker.
